You absolutely deserve it! Zhongwei, Ningxia!

You absolutely deserve it! Zhongwei, Ningxia!

After listening to the tour guide, the lack of popularity in Ningxia's tourism is related to the slogan. Others have 'The Most Beautiful Qinghai,' while they call it 'Magical Ningxia'. After this five-day and four-night trip to Ningxia, let's talk about these two days and one night in Zhongwei, Ningxia! 🏨 Star Hotel 🧡 The hotel in the desert is very suitable for bringing children, with excellent family-friendly facilities. Each room is equipped with children's supplies and sand-digging tools. 🧡 The hotel's check-in area, rooms, and activity zone are separate, requiring a shuttle bus. The waiting time for the shuttle bus is relatively long, usually about 10 minutes. 🧡 The rooms are very clean, but because they are in the desert, the hot water is electrically heated, and there needs to be a 20-minute interval between every two people taking a shower. 🧡 Watching the sunset and stargazing at the designated times are guided and explained by staff. It's very worthwhile for both adults and children! 🧡 Whether it's the scenery or the people, the hotel is very photogenic. 🎢 Shapotou (Recommended Attraction) 📍: The hotel provides a shuttle bus to the desert area, which is about a 5-minute drive. 🎫: The entrance ticket is complimentary with a stay at the Star Hotel. There are package deals for attractions, and we bought one for 299 yuan per person, which includes four major activities. 🧡 The tour guide recommended just these four activities, which are actually enough. If you want to add more, at most add a zip line. 🧡 Desert area: Camel riding, surfing (riding an off-road vehicle in the desert to feel the weightlessness of desert rallying, a very good experience. 🧡 Yellow River area: Sand sliding, zip-lining, cable car, hang gliding, sheepskin raft, and speedboat are all here. All activities are weather-dependent, and they will be closed if there is a strong wind. These two days' itinerary was worth it, and makes one want to come back! The only downside is the sand... Even with protection, sand still gets into your eyes and mouth...

Just returned from the Tengger Desert, and if you're planning to take your kids, listen to me!

Just returned from the Tengger Desert, and if you're planning to take your kids, listen to me!

👍 This season is a great time to visit the Tengger Desert. Not only will you see layers upon layers of sand dunes, but you'll also encounter many sand lizards, camels, cattle, and sheep. The daytime temperature is bearable, and the nighttime temperature is quite comfortable. Just wear a jacket, and it won't be too cold!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~ ✔️ In the desert, you must be well-prepared for sun protection. Sunglasses, hats, and sunscreen clothing are essential. Remember to apply sunscreen on exposed skin. ✔️ Moms who love taking photos can prepare brightly colored dresses, but if you choose to hike, a sporty look will be cooler. ✔️ If you're bringing your own camera, use a dust cover to prevent sand from damaging the lens. Keep your phone and smartwatch secure, as they might get lost in the sand. ✔️ The sunrise is really worth getting up early for, the sunset is absolutely stunning, and the starry sky at night is something you can't see in the city. Avoid the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and if it's still clear, you might even see the Milky Way. 🔻 Must-do activities with kids in the desert: Off-road sand surfing, super thrilling, really feels like surfing Sand sliding, kids usually don't want to leave Fireworks show, fireworks blooming under the countless stars are truly beautiful
