Hey, everyone! 👋 Today, Ming Ge will take you to Kuitun, Xinjiang, to experience the local customs. Speaking of Kuitun, I have to mention Vienna International Hotel (Kuitun Tianxi Building Branch). This hotel is really impressive! 🚗 Worry-free travel and easy arrival This Vienna hotel is located in Tianbei New District, a very good location. From here, it is only a 12-minute drive to Kuitun Railway Station and only 10 minutes to the passenger station. Moreover, there are also the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Kuitun Passenger Station and Usu Station nearby, making travel very convenient. If you are driving yourself, it is easy to go to Duku Highway or Karamay. Remember to plan your route in advance. Although the road conditions are okay, pay attention to safe driving. 🍽️ Foodie paradise, taste delicacies from all over the world Foodies are in luck! Just across from the hotel is Jintai Plaza, a gathering place for food, where you can eat authentic Xinjiang cuisine until you don't want to leave. Roasted mutton skewers, big plate chicken, noodles... just thinking about it makes my mouth water! In addition to Xinjiang specialties, there are also various cuisines from the mainland, which can definitely satisfy your taste buds. In the evening, take a walk in the square with your family and friends, and then find a small shop to sit down and enjoy! 🛏️ Home away from home, warm and comfortable Staying at Vienna International Hotel is as comfortable as returning to your own warm nest. In particular, the parent-child themed rooms and family rooms are designed to be both practical and full of fun. The rooms are not only equipped with complete daily necessities, but also children's toothbrushes and slippers are prepared. In the morning, enjoy a hearty buffet breakfast in the multi-functional breakfast restaurant, with noodles, buns, porridge... a variety of options to ensure you have plenty of energy to start a new day! 🎉 Enjoy entertainment and relax Don't think this is all, this hotel also has many surprises! For example, the KTV rooms, where you can hang out with friends and sing a few songs after a busy day, which is just great; or you can make a cup of hot tea in the room and enjoy the night view outside the window, which is another way to relax. In addition, the hotel has ample parking spaces, so whether you are driving a small car or a business car, you can find a suitable place to park, which is really considerate! Finally, I would like to remind everyone that if you are bringing children, there is also the Donghu Zoo nearby that you can visit. In short, this is a good place for a family trip and is worth a try! I hope my sharing has been helpful to you, see you next time! 👋

Location: Licheng Ruixuan Hotel (Kuytun City Government Branch) This newly opened hotel with a rustic design is absolutely my aesthetic dream! Warm tones paired with minimalist lines, rooms equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows and smart home features (voice-controlled lights/curtains are super convenient), plus a fully equipped gym and laundry room. Even the messiest suitcase can transform you into a refined traveler! The best part? The location is unbeatable! Just a 10-minute taxi ride to the high-speed rail station, and downstairs is the Yima Lane Night Market, where you can shop, eat, and enjoy performances all in one go! 🔥 What to do nearby? 1️⃣ Yima Lane Night Market: Transforms into a "city that never sleeps" after 7 PM every night! Ethnic dances, handmade crafts, and intangible cultural heritage performances create an amazing atmosphere. Must-try: Aili BBQ (a hidden gem loved by locals). Remember to specify your preferred spice level! 2️⃣ Kuytun's Hidden Food Gems: - Shiji Rice Noodles: The pinnacle of rice noodles! Medium spice with added sugar is the secret. The wide noodles are chewy, and the broth is rich. - Tieyushu Meatball Soup: Served with oil-soaked bread, it's both heartwarming and filling. The elderly Hui owner is incredibly friendly. 💡 Travel Tips: ✅ High-speed rail is super time-saving: Urumqi → Kuytun takes only 2.5 hours, and the hotel offers station pick-up services (book in advance). ✅ Sun protection + hydration: Xinjiang's UV rays are strong, so sunglasses and hats are essential. Stay hydrated daily to keep your skin from drying out. ✅ Off-peak visits: Yima Lane gets crowded after 6 PM. It's better to enjoy the food first in the evening, then explore the night market and watch performances. ✅ Carry your ID: Security checks are required to enter malls/night markets, so don't forget your ID card. 📸 Photo Tips: Wear an ethnic-style shawl at the Yima Lane market, and every snapshot will look like a movie scene! 🌟 Follow me to discover more stunning travel destinations!

The carefully maintained lotus pond, the sanitation workers cleaning up the debris and watering to cool down, all to bring people a piece of green, a clear pond, and a touch of lotus pond moonlight in summer. Kuitun is a city that people yearn for. The city layout is already very good, but it looks really bleak. It is said that the municipal government is working hard, but not many people are attracted. The city has free buses, and the park looks good. I asked specifically, and they said that it is the busy farming season now, and most of them are busy in the fields. When they are done, they will return to the city, and the streets will be more lively then.

Tai Shi Tun He Yuan Park in Miyun Pros: No entrance fee, free parking, pet-friendly, swans, suitable for all ages Cons: The park is small, but you can visit Miyun Reservoir or Qing Shui River as well Just search for Tai Shi Tun He Yuan Ecological Park on Baidu Maps. The park is long and narrow, not very big. But the scenery is really great. Although the temperature dropped on the weekend, the blue sky was a bonus. And surprisingly, although it was late autumn, many trees still had leaves, which made the scenery more layered. The most surprising thing is the swans. According to the locals, many swans fly here to spend the winter every year. I saw about 15 swans that day. But they were too far from the shore, and my phone was blurry even with 15x zoom. _(: 3 」∠)_ I should have used professional equipment, haha. According to photography enthusiasts, the swans here are more active and fly before 8 am. So if you want to take photos or see swans, you should stay nearby. And the scenery of Qing Shui River or Miyun Reservoir is really great recently. It would be better to stay for a day to experience it. Besides, it is really cold by the water. Bring an extra piece of clothing when you go out recently, and be careful not to catch a cold.

We are self-driving, four people. All hotel choices are the kings of cost performance, very comfortable.
