This Is What It’s Like Being a Guest in Xinjiang 🇨🇳 | Staying with Locals in Tekesi & Zhaosu

We traveled to the remote towns of Tekesi Bagua and Zhaosu in China’s Xinjiang region… and what we found wasn’t just stunning landscapes — it was some of the kindest hospitality we’ve ever experienced. In this video, we hitchhike through the prairies, get picked up by strangers, and end up having lunch with a local family who welcomed us like old friends. In Zhaosu, the guesthouse owners didn’t just give us a bed — they gave us dinner, stories, and warmth that made us feel right at home. This video isn’t about tourist attractions — it’s about human connection, generosity, and the kind of travel that reminds you why you’re doing it in the first place. 📍 Locations visited: – Tekesi 八卦城 (Bagua City) – Hitchhiking in Yelang Valley – Zhaosu – Local homes, guesthouses & family meals 🎥 Real travel moments | human stories | off-the-grid China 🏡Homestay in Tekes: https://www.trip.com/w/BUKPDhHQuQ2 –––––––––––––––––––––––––– 🌍 Subscribe for more unfiltered travel stories: @LifeNumber6 📸 Instagram for real-time updates: @LifeNumber6 #Xinjiang #ChinaTravel #Tekesi #Zhaosu #HitchhikingChina #LifeNumber6 #RuralChina #OffTheBeatenPath
