Nestled at the foot of the Nanshan Mountains in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Zhou Cheng’s homestay is rewriting the rules of rural retreats—one campfire jam session at a time. 🌄✨
Where Nature Meets Rhythm
By day, visitors hike through lush trails in Urumqi’s "back garden." By night, they gather around crackling fires, strumming guitars and tapping handpan drums under a blanket of stars. Zhou, a local entrepreneur, has turned his passion for folk music into a global magnet for wanderers seeking soulful escapes.
A Global Gathering Under the Stars
"Music is our universal language," Zhou says, as travelers from Europe, Asia, and beyond join impromptu sing-alongs. The homestay’s blend of Uygur cultural vibes and acoustic spontaneity has made it a TikTok-worthy hotspot—no filters needed. 🪕🔥
Whether you’re a digital nomad or a burnt-out student, this mountain sanctuary proves that adventure doesn’t need a playlist—it is the playlist.
