Highly recommend the Xinyuan People's Square Licheng Hotel! We specifically chose this hotel after driving through the Duku Highway, and it was the most comfortable stop on our entire Yili loop trip.
The location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk to People's Square. Downstairs, you'll find supermarkets, night markets, and restaurants, making it super convenient for a late-night snack. They have a free parking lot, perfect for SUVs, which is a huge plus for road trippers.
The hotel opened in 2026, so everything is brand new. The entire room is equipped with XiaoDu smart controls, so you can control the lights and curtains with your voice. It also has a smart toilet, and the high-floor rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows offer distant mountain views. The cleanliness is impeccable; there's no dust even in the corners, the bedding is soft and clean, and the soundproofing is excellent. Our street-facing room was completely quiet at night, allowing us to get a wonderfully restful sleep after our long journey.
The amenities are top-notch: a self-service laundry room with a dryer, perfect for getting dirty clothes clean and dry after mountain drives; a 24-hour gym; and robot delivery service. Even arriving late at night, check-in was smooth, and the front desk staff were gentle and attentive. They even proactively offered tips for touring Nalat Grassland.
Breakfast features Xinjiang specialties, including milk tea, baursak, hot dishes, and pastries – perfect for a hearty meal before heading out to explore the grasslands. The hotel can also host group meals and conferences, making it suitable for family trips, self-driving groups, or business travelers. It's definitely the top choice when visiting Xinyuan!
