★★★★ 9.5 (1,733 reviews)

"First off, the hotel's location is fantastic, right inside the Tonghu Grassland scenic area. The environment is superb, and transportation is very convenient, with shuttle buses available within the scenic area. The butler service was exceptionally good; they provide one-on-one service, contacting you in advance and offering excellent suggestions for your itinerary. Since we were traveling with our child this time, he participated in the evening stargazing activity, which I highly recommend! It's especially great for fostering a child's interest in astronomy. The hotel also hosted an amazing 'Ma Dao Cheng Gong' (instant success) equestrian show in the evening, which was incredibly impressive and definitely worth seeing. Additionally, the hotel offers excellent travel photography services at a reasonable price, and the photos turned out beautifully. Overall, I give this hotel a full five-star rating; everything was wonderful! We'll definitely be back!"

★★★★ 9.4 (215 reviews)

"Who understands, my family members! Stayed in a super cool starry sky tent in the Zhongwei Desert in Ningxia! Ride a camel to see the endless sand dunes during the day, and lie on the terrace to count the stars at night! The chef is amazing, every dish is delicious, the sizzling meat skewers grilled by the guy, the crispy butter wrapped with cumin burst on the tip of your tongue! The Border Collie named "Diandian" has been squatting like a stone statue, with the sand swept up by its tail rising and falling with the smell of meat, just waiting for you to feed it! The surfing car during the day and the bonfire party at night are all worth it. Now looking at the group photo on my phone, with its furry head still rubbing against my knees, I really want to pack my luggage right away and rush to Beidou Xingye!"

"The tents had brand new bedding, a cozy layout, and a complete range of amenities, all conveniently located. The bathroom and toilet facilities were complete, and the entire scenic area had electricity and internet (with fast speeds). The restaurant had a wide variety of dishes, and the entertainment options were healthy, environmentally friendly, fun, and meaningful for the whole family. I especially commend Xiaochao, the butler. He was very attentive, kind, and welcoming. I'll definitely stay with him again if I visit Tengri again."

"The room was pretty good and clean. The owner was very nice, and the guy who handled the transfers was also great. I plan to visit again when my baby is a bit older. However, I do have a suggestion for the owner: the children's toys need an update, as they are all broken now."

Shazhichuan Camp Hotel

Shazhichuan Camp Hotel

📍 No. 19, Changcheng East Street (Reception), Shapotou District, Zhongwei
★★★ 9.5 (1,879 reviews)

"We originally lived in a tent, but because of the cold weather, we upgraded our room to a cabin. Unfortunately, we had to share a bathroom, so it's not suitable for people with high hygiene requirements. Moreover, the camping location is not Ningxia but Inner Mongolia, which is very misleading for tourists"

Zhongwei Xingyu Desert Camp Hotels in Zhongwei

Zhongwei Xingyu Desert Camp

"This desert tent accommodation experience far exceeded expectations! After night, the atmosphere of the camp is directly full. The dunes are surrounded by light-decorated cabins and tents. The night is quiet and romantic. It is a unique scenery to step on the soft sand floor. The interior of the tent is clean and tidy, the beds are soft and comfortable, the bedding is spotless, the space is spacious and not depressing, the supporting facilities are complete, and there is no simple sense of camping expected. The supporting buildings of the camp are brightly lit, convenient to travel, and the privacy is also very good. Being in the desert away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you can not only immerse yourself in the vast night of the desert, but also have a comfortable stay experience that does not lose the hotel. The service is intimate and thoughtful. Whether it is a couple traveling or a group play, it is especially suitable. Come to the desert to travel and highly recommend this camp. It is a worthwhile trip!"

"We arrived just before the peak season, so there was only a handful of guests. The staff were helpful enough and made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The activities were decent, not fantastic but with a few friendly nudges the staff did their best to make them worthwhile. Overall a nice trip, but I'd say two days stay is more than enough."

Zhongwei Boao Hotel Hotels in Zhongwei

Zhongwei Boao Hotel

"Relatively new hotel, clean lobby and rooms. Room was well designed and spacious with plenty of space , tables, chairs, and walking space. Service at front desk was excellent. The only downside side was the location. At the end of Aug 2025, there was major construction going on in front of the hotel in which the entire road was blocked off, leaving only a pedestrian walkway for access. The work stopped around 5pm, but they started early at8am the next morning ). It didn’t bother us as we left early for sightseeing. There were plenty of restaurants, and shops nearby , and it took us 15 min to walk to the main part of town. Overall good value for money."

It's super convenient for dining, drinking, and getting around. Overall, the value for money is outstanding. Highly recommended, this is definitely my top choice for accommodation in the area!"

Desert Star Hotel

"Stayed for two nights and the hotel service was excellent. Our room was in the back of Zone E, which was quiet and had an unobstructed view. However, the sand digging tools and sandboards at the entrance kept disappearing, which made the kids very sad 💔. The travel photography service was also great 👍."

"I genuinely recommend this downtown hotel. The location is superb, making it easy to get anywhere. The room amenities are a huge plus 🌻 – not only complete but also very new, showing they're well-maintained. The room was clean with no strange odors, and the space was larger than I expected. Both the mattress and pillows were very comfortable, and the hot water supply was stable. 🌻 The lighting was soft, creating a warm and relaxing atmosphere overall. I felt really relaxed after my stay, and I will definitely be booking again."

Zhongwei Shapotou District Shengjin Nianhua Hotel (Gulou East Street)

"This time I came out to travel, this smart hotel that was blindly selected really gave me a big surprise! Comrade Xiao Dong, the housekeeper, is very hospitable and very pleasant to chat with her. And every day, I walked a lot outside, and I didn't want to move back to the room. At this time, the whole house intelligence became my "life-saving artifact". Lying on the bed and moving your mouth can turn off the lights, pull the curtains, adjust the air conditioner, even the music before going to bed can be voiced on demand, the good news for lazy people! The room design is very technological, and it is super filming to find a corner to take pictures. And the robot delivers takeaway directly to the door, and you don't have to go downstairs when you are tired. Not only did you live comfortably, but also experienced a future lifestyle. This trip has a lot of points because of this hotel, and it is strongly Amway to all friends who come out to play!"

"The No. 7 Galaxy Mars Base is absolutely incredible! It's a sci-fi dream come true, with space capsule camps right in the middle of the desert. The rooms are fully equipped, the butler service is attentive and thoughtful, and the food is authentic and plentiful. They offer a one-stop experience including sandboarding, astronaut suit photos, and stargazing bonfires, making it the top choice for family trips and desert accommodation!"

"It was a very pleasant desert camping experience. We could go sandboarding right at the hotel, and there was a bonfire party and fireworks in the evening. We also had grilled lamb skewers, and the service was warm and attentive. The only downside was that the public showers weren't very convenient, which I wasn't used to."

Shazhihai Desert Star Camp ★★★
"Overall, it was a very satisfying and enriching experience. The hotel is located in the Tengger Desert, and before coming, I honestly didn't expect the cleanliness to be so good – it was incredibly clean. I've stayed in a Meliá 'Starry Sky Room' for almost 2,000 RMB a night, and I feel the cleanliness here was comparable; not a single grain of sand, pristine white bedding, and the desert right outside the door. It had a private bathroom and a smart toilet, very clean. The room was a bit small, but for a desert location, I was perfectly happy with the conditions. As for the service, they provided pick-up and drop-off many times. When my child felt unwell after an activity, the owner even came to pick us up, ensuring you didn't have to walk an extra step. When leaving, they took us right to our car. They were incredibly responsive to every request. Regarding the hotel's arrangements, I personally felt they were very enriching. The 'star study' and 'straw checkerboard' activities were very meaningful. There were fireworks at night. Finally, about the activities: my husband tried every single one and said the 'Blade' was very thrilling. My child and I only tried the 'Wave Car' and camel riding. I personally get a bit carsick. For those who are timid, afraid of heights, or sensitive to weightlessness, it's worth checking these activities thoroughly. Phones are not allowed on any of these activities, including camel riding, so I couldn't take any photos. Overall, for this price, I am very satisfied with the service. The only dissatisfaction was the very poor attitude of the parking lot security guard, but of course, that's not within the hotel's responsibility."

"🌟 Live in the Milky Way in the desert! The hotel is breathtakingly beautiful. I never thought it would be so dreamy to live in the desert! Just like an alien base, the pure white dome houses are scattered among the golden sand dunes, and any shot can create a blockbuster movie. In the early morning, you can watch the sunrise while walking on the cool fine sand, and in the evening, you can chase the sunset by riding a camel. The desert off-road vehicle is also very exciting. You can have a lot of fun with the free sandboard, and rushing down the super high sand slope is like riding a roller coaster."

The hotel staff is very efficient and helped us order taxis, and upgadred us for free in order to have access to air conditioning, which thoroughly improved our stay. They also provide a wide range of activities in order to explore the desert, and a restaurant is available with a variety of choices. Overall, we would recommend this hotel and will definitely come back on our next trip to China!"

Zhongwei Shapo Tou Desert Wilderness Desert Stargazing Inn ★★★
"My kid said this was their favorite hotel on our trip to the Northwest!~ The hotel is located within the East Lake Grassland Scenic Area of the Tengger Desert, which is originally a place for sand activities (ask the owner for a discounted package deal). My kid loved the Interstellar Chariot (actually, the off-road vehicles we took to and from the hotel to other camps were also a blast!~). The owner provides free pick-up and drop-off to the activity areas. Facilities: The hotel has everything you need. The public restrooms and shower rooms are next to the restaurant, very clean, and there are plenty of them. Thanks to the owner for upgrading us to a room with a private bathroom – it was so convenient to wash off our sandy kids every night after playing! If your budget allows, I highly recommend booking a room with a private bathroom!!! It's super important!! The air conditioning in the room was incredibly strong, we had to turn it off at night otherwise it got too cold~ The amenities included disposable towels and bath towels, and the slippers were also very thick and clean! Cleanliness: Exceeded expectations, there was surprisingly no sand on the bed! Environment: Surrounded by dunes on all sides. If you climb to the top of a dune a bit later in the evening and find a dark spot, you can see a sky full of stars~ Service: If you're traveling with kids, you absolutely must participate in the hotel's educational programs! At 8:30 AM, there's a desert hike where the guide even caught a lizard. At 10:30 AM, there's a wheat straw grid activity where they explain the principles and methods of sand control, and the kids get to experience making the grids themselves. It was too hot in the afternoon, so we didn't join the treasure hunt. The host for the evening bonfire party was great at getting everyone energized, and we could see fireworks from four or five other camps – they were big fireworks! The stargazing guide at 9:30 PM was very humorous. He first introduced basic geographical knowledge about the moon's shape, distance, etc., then explained the stars and constellations related to the Big Dipper. The Milky Way wasn't visible until 2 AM that night, but the moon came out after 1 AM, so we missed it. There are sandboards everywhere in the camp; it's better to find steeper slopes for a good slide. The manager is the owner himself; he patiently answers all questions and can even help receive express deliveries~ We'll definitely come again!!!~"
