For most travelers, Turpan Jiaohe Airport (TLQ) is the most practical gateway to Shanshan, although it is located in the neighboring city of Turpan rather than Shanshan itself. It offers better connectivity via high-speed rail to Shanshan, making it the top choice for those prioritizing speed and budget. Qitai Jiangbulake Airport (JBK), also located in a neighboring city, primarily serves local tourism in Qitai County and lacks direct transport links to Shanshan, requiring multiple transfers or a private hire for the long-distance journey. If you find a significantly cheaper flight into Qitai, it may be worth considering, but the added transit time and complexity make it less convenient than the Turpan route. When traveling in this region, always confirm your ground transport connections in advance, as public transit schedules between regional hubs can be infrequent. Opting for private car hires or pre-arranged transfers is often the most reliable method when moving between these Xinjiang cities.

The price was affordable, and the room facilities and bedding exceeded my expectations. The central air conditioning was powerful, and the fragrance was lovely. There were also many value-added services, such as free pick-up and drop-off at the station, free laundry facilities, free use of desert photography clothing, and even many emergency medications provided free of charge. It was truly excellent value for money.
There are supermarkets, shopping malls, KFC, No. 9 Sichuan Pepper Chicken, Lao Wei Dao Rice Noodles, hot pot restaurants, and other food options nearby.

I have stayed at Longcheng Hotel many times. First of all, the service attitude is very good. They are very thoughtful and polite before each visit. The room price is also suitable for this season, and the cost performance is very high. When I entered the room, the projection was very large and the projection effect was great. The sound quality and picture were excellent. The area of the room was also very large. It met my needs very well. This time, the projection room was also equipped with a humidifier. The weather here in Shanshan is very dry. It is really considerate. A small refrigerator was also added. Very good. The comfort of the bed is also higher. I stay here every time and I am satisfied 🙂🙂🙂FromUS$18

The rooms were exceptionally clean, the front desk service was excellent, and the price was very reasonable. It was the best hotel I've stayed in these past few days. Many of my travel companions, even those who'd been to Dahaidao or gone off-roading in the sand, all came to this hotel – it's really great. I highly recommend it to everyone; if I ever pass through Shanshan County again, I'll definitely stay here.FromUS$38

The facilities are brand new, and the hotel is very clean! We were given watermelons upon check-in, and the front desk lady was incredibly friendly and available 24 hours a day! We checked in late at night and were completely comfortable. The hotel is surrounded by a plethora of amenities, including restaurants and a mahjong parlor. The night market is nearby, and there's a barber shop if you don't want to wash your hair. It was a truly worthwhile night in Xinjiang, and the price was incredibly reasonable. If I hadn't been short on time, I would have stayed longer. I'll definitely be back next time!FromUS$18

This stay experience is perfect! The moment you open the door, a fresh breath hits you in the face. The marble floor is as smooth as a mirror, the bedding is smooth as new, and even the decorative ornaments in the corners are spotless. Every detail shows the hotel's professionalism and care. The parking lot is well planned and the signs are clear, so you can easily find a space even if it is your first visit. Free parking tickets are also provided when you leave. The biggest surprise was the breakfast session, with a wide variety of Chinese and Western dishes, the freshly cooked noodle soup was fresh and rich, the freshly baked bread was soft and sweet, and the freshly ground coffee was fragrant. You could feel the chef's superb cooking skills in every bite. From the environment to the service, it's impeccable. Next time I come here on a business trip, this hotel will definitely be my best choice!FromUS$23

The Baoju hotel is located near the middle of town within a short driving distance to the Kumtag desert facilities. The staff were very friendly. Although they could not speak English, they made every good effort to meet all of our needs. The hotel is located in a strip of small businesses and restaurants. It even is directly attached to a convenience store so you don’t need to leave the building for those small necessities. Our stay was pleasant and restful.FromUS$15

🌟 Super surprise treasure hotel! PLUS Designer Hotel (Turpan Shanshan New Town Night Market) has a full experience ～
This time I came to Shanshan for a trip, the blindly selected hotel directly became a ”highlight plus point” in the itinerary! From check-in to departure, every detail is poked in the demand, and it must be praised 👇
📍 The location is absolutely perfect! Shopping and eating + punching in the double convenience
The hotel is on the 3rd floor of Times Wanshang City Shopping Plaza on Liuzhong Avenue. Downstairs is the business district. It is one-stop for eating and buying specialties. Walk 580 meters to the Jurassic Museum in Shanshan County. It is too friendly to friends who love history and science. The surrounding streets are lively but not noisy. It is also super close to the New Town Night Market at night. The balance of fireworks and convenience is just right. ✨
🛏️ Room type exceeded expectations! Smart + comfortable double online
The ”Plus·Smart Compressive Twin Room” booked is really amazing! 2 1.35m double beds are spacious enough to ”spread joy and roll”, the deep sleep mattress is wrapped instantly, and I wake up naturally (even the bed star does not sleep insomnia 😴); The whole house is intelligent and worry-free. You can control the lights, curtains, and wireless chargers to liberate the data cable. The details are ecstatic! 30-43㎡ The space is transparent and bright, and the decorative fake window design is also very ingenious. The photo is beyond the film 📸
💰 Cost-effective explosion! One hundred yuan to live in a thousand yuan texture
After the summer special, it costs 93 yuan/night, but it is equipped with ”smart device + comfortable bedding + pet friendly + pick-up station”... This configuration is simply ”decrease the dimension” in the same price range! And the hotel is newly opened in 2025, with new facilities and good health, no ”cheap feeling” at all, but the exquisiteness of the designer hotel is everywhere.
In short, whether it is parent-child travel, couples travel or traveling alone, this hotel can satisfy all your imagination of ”comfortable + convenient + cost-effective”! Next time you come to Shanshan, definitely brush N brush 💯FromUS$21

The navigation location is the winery visitor center. There are charging piles, but the charging price of 1.2 yuan a day is a bit expensive. There is a restaurant inside, which is delicious and affordable. The front desk of the hotel is very considerate, the room is spacious, the mattress is relatively soft, and it is quiet. You can visit the winery in the hotel, which is quite interesting. The bathroom has a bit of a peculiar smell, so it's best to block the drain when sleeping.FromUS$35

I was passing by on a business trip. I went in and saw that the hotel was very good, so I placed an order. The winery started out as a wine producer, and the newly added accommodation industry has a strong winery flavor in the design of the rooms. The decoration is very high-end, the sanitary environment and service are very good. Parking in the yard is free, convenient and safe. The breakfast is also great. You can also visit the wine cellar. It is the best choice for business trips and tourism. I will come often in the futureFromUS$26
