After we encountered a bad experience with a desert glamping resort in Dunhuang, we were a bit cautious with Dune when we booked it. However, after I communicated with the manager in Dune via WeChat, I was more confident as he was very polite and helpful. He helped us to booked a transfer from Turpan Airport to Dune resort. As our flight arrived Turpan in the evening, it was late when we arrived at Dune. The manager and another staff came to the entrance of the driveway to welcome us and helped us with our luggage. They took us straight to our tent, and they upgraded us to a bigger tent, too.
We woke up to this beautiful Kumtag Desert Sand dunes, right in front of our tent! It was so beautiful. As the off peak season started, we were the only guests there but the staff were serving us with delicious breakfast and dinner. The food was delicious and plentiful! The manager and staff were very attentive to our requests. One of the staff has helped us to arrange a local guide/driver to take us to the Kumtag desert for an exciting ATV ride and sand sliding. We had a great time. We ended up hiring the same guide, a pleasant and calm Uygur young guy to take us for some sightseeing and dropped us back to Turpan.
I would say to anyone who is looking for a real desert glamping, please come to Dune in Shahshan near Turpan instead of Dunhuang.

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!

The ambiance is wonderful. From the moment I enter the courtyard, it feels like I'm back in my grandparents' childhood home. The hotel's decor is very local.
The service was excellent, and most requests were quickly addressed.
I was worried the pictures might differ from the actual experience, but there wasn't at all! It was a truly wonderful stay.

Guest UserThis hotel is so thoughtful. They greeted us as soon as we got off the car, helped us with our luggage, and gave us a big watermelon, which was brought to our room. It is simply a five-star service. The facilities are also very new. The room is clean and sanitary. The most rare thing is that both the front desk and the proprietress are very enthusiastic. We are two women. Because we just called a taxi to take us to the desert, the proprietress was worried that we would be in danger when we went out to play, so she left her phone number. In case anything happened, she would step on the accelerator and come to find us. It was the first time I felt the human touch when I was away from home. Shanshan is really a very good place. When you come here, you are treated as one of their own family. We went to the pharmacy and had a meal. They were all very enthusiastic and warm. If it weren’t for the itinerary, I would have stayed for a few more days. In addition, the hotel also rents clothes for only 50 per set. They took a lot of beautiful photos for us. It is very close to the desert.

SeanPA68The 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.

We stayed one night at this homestay. It is very clean and modern. There is a very pretty tourist area nearby and a river. The noise level on the night we stayed was quite high for a few hours. It was from nearby hotels I think as there are many with bars. Our kids easily slept through the music and singing, but we adults did not. The noise stops by midnight though. Thos was a recurrent theme in a few places we stayed though in Xinjiang. Summer time os party time fpr many tourists without families. All in all it is a great, clean place to stay with exceptional service.

Very unique B&B
First impression: wooden pavilion, blue bricks and tiles, antique style
Check-in experience: The little girl at the front desk was warm and thoughtful. I encountered a small problem when checking into the family room. After communicating with the store, she decisively changed the room and upgraded it for free. It was very heart-warming.
My favorite: I like the big terrace on the second floor. It is accompanied by stars at night and shaded by ancient trees during the day. It is so comfortable to drink tea with my family.

Guest UserThe 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!

RoszaimyCouldn’t be happier with the stay. Arrived early morning at Turpan rail station and the owner granted early checkin without a fuss. Super convenient given the tiring overnight train journey. Owner was also kind enough to arrange for tour driver for one day sightseeing. The area is awesome! Next door is a local vegetable and fruit shop where things can be purchased super cheaply. Bought a large watermelon (in season) and the owner lent a knife to cut it open. Delicious! The room is great; well appointed, clean, breezy. Only slight issue with the bathroom where the water didn’t drain fast enough so need to shower carefully to prevent overflow into the room. Overall, it was a stay well beyond expectation. The owner was super nice and helpful.

DudushigetanchimaoThere is a parking lot on the roadside and at the door. Please check if you park your car in this season. Don't park under the mulberry tree, otherwise you will have a car full of black mulberries in the morning, which are sticky and can't be washed clean.
The small yard is clean and tidy. Breakfast is included, but it is a little simple, but why would you want a bicycle at this price!
Opposite is the Kavazi Scenic Area, which is a large vineyard.
It's nice to walk along the river after dinner!
