Compare 4 airports near Urumqi County
For most travelers, Urumqi Tianshan International Airport (URC) is the primary and most convenient gateway, located in Urumqi itself and offering the widest range of domestic and international flights, along with direct metro and bus links to the center. While URC is the city's main hub, other options serve entirely different municipalities in the neighboring regions. Shihezi Huayuan Airport (SHF) serves the garden city of Shihezi and is a viable alternative for those specifically visiting the northern regions, relying primarily on high-speed rail or coach services for the journey to Urumqi. Similarly, Turpan Jiaohe Airport (TLQ) acts as a regional hub for the historic city of Turpan, where travelers can utilize the adjacent high-speed rail station for quick transit to Urumqi. Finally, Qitai Jiangbulake Airport (JBK) serves Qitai County, primarily catering to tourists visiting local mountain landscapes, and requires a longer road trip to reach Urumqi. Travelers should prioritize URC for efficiency, while others provide specialized regional access.

The room was very clean and the service was very attentive. I wanted to ask the B&B to order medicine in advance because I had a stomachache, but I didn't expect them to prepare it carefully. I was very touched. The layout of the store is very stylish. Next time I come to Xinjiang, I will come here again. The cats and dogs are super good-tempered and very cute.FromUS$53

It is rare to come out to relax during the May Day holiday. Take the children to barbecue and fly kites outdoors. I had a great time. The Nanshan flowers and trees in May have not yet bloomed. I plan to go again when I have time later on the weekend.
A great homestay, newly opened clean and hygienic, the service is good, the room has a water purification system. It may be newly opened, so everything is very good and I hope to continue. The rooms in the homestay have a variety of styles, different themes are for you to choose, and the LOFT design is suitable for our family to live in. Next time you come to Nanshan, you must choose this one.FromUS$51

The room is a bit small, but fully equipped, clean and tidy, the environment is warm, the boss is patient and considerate, and the service is attentive! There is a golden retriever named Dazhuang who is so docile and friendly, which adds a lot of points to the store. The small courtyard is quiet and comfortable, suitable for relaxing and taking a nap on weekends! In particular, I would like to mention that the free nutritious breakfast is different from others, the combination is reasonable and very eye-catching👍👍👍FromUS$46

My trip to the Freedom Mountain B&B completely overturned my preconceived notions about B&Bs—it boasted amenities comparable to high-end hotels, yet it also offered a warmth and surprise rarely found in hotels.
The B&B's modern décor was simple yet sophisticated. Upon entering the room, I was immediately drawn to the floor-to-ceiling window. Drawing back the curtains revealed an unobstructed panorama of scenery, the expansive view instantly soothing my soul. Whether it was the morning mist or the evening glow, everything became a beautiful ”dynamic decorative painting” in the room. Even more reassuring was the pristine condition of the bedding and towels—clean, comfortable, and perfect for relieving the day's fatigue. This thoughtful touch surpassed that of many hotels.
The most unexpected bonus was the S101 National Defense Highway tour arranged by the B&B on the second day of my stay. A professional guide led us through the scenic beauty along the way. The grasslands, canyons, and Danxia landforms hidden beside the road gained even more charm with the guide's explanations. No need to painstakingly plan your trip; just follow the trail and you'll capture the most stunning scenery. This ”nanny-level” experience is a huge plus.
If comfortable facilities are the foundation, then this unexpectedly excellent service is the icing on the cake. Free Mountain B&B is no longer just a simple ”stopover,” but a travel companion that allows you to truly slow down and enjoy your trip. Next time, I'll definitely choose this place again!FromUS$27
