Kuqa 123 Youth Hostel is situated in the historically rich core of Kuqa Old Town and is one of the very few well-preserved typical Uyghur Ayiwang style dwellings in the area. We perfectly blend the essence of traditional ethnic architecture with modern minimalist design, offering two types of distinctive guest rooms, both ethnic-style Ayiwang themed rooms and comfortable, convenient modern minimalist rooms. In the courtyard, grape trellises sway, the garden is tranquil, and the terrace is spacious, allowing you to enjoy a rare moment of peace and comfort during your busy journey.

You can experience the authentic local street life up close and conveniently purchase genuine Kuqa giant naan, which can be shipped, and exquisite Atlas silk clothing.
