Camping in the Tengger Desert, a must-do once in a lifetime

The beauty of the desert lies in its colors, either golden or reddish-brown, thriving towards the sun and changing with the seasons; The beauty of the desert lies in its shapes, smooth and flat, undulating like mountains, connecting the sky and the earth; Stay in a tent or cabin at the campsite, stroll on the dunes, gaze at the boundless sea of sand from afar, and feel the delicate sand grains up close. Dressed in vibrant clothes, whether walking, standing, sitting, lying down, bending, or looking up, all can be picturesque; surfing the sand sea, riding camels, or driving passionately. At sunset, wait for the sun to set, watch the Tyndall beams, and enjoy the splendid sunset glow. At dusk, satisfy your hunger with barbecue and drinks, experiencing the enthusiasm and boldness of desert people; When night falls, light a bonfire, sing or dance, set off fireworks, go wild in the desert, and let your mood reach its peak with the exploding flowers in the sky; At midnight, most people are already asleep, the noise is gone, look up at the sky, and see the twinkling stars. At dawn, you can also climb to the top of the dunes, looking forward to the splendid sunrise. Unfortunately, although the rain has stopped, the sky is still overcast, there was no magnificent sunset, nor a glorious sunrise, but fortunately, a few stars appeared at midnight, which is somewhat comforting. Tips: The camping prices in the Shapotou area are expensive, and it is hard to find a room, the advantage is that it is close to the Shapotou scenic area, but the cost performance is not high. For self-driving friends, the camping site in Donghu Grassland has better cost performance, and there is no need to queue for desert experience projects. It should be noted that the reserved addresses for homestays and campsites are mostly in the new Shapotou tourist town, which is just an office place, about 20km away from the campsite. It is also recommended that the housekeepers contact the tourists one day in advance and provide the actual location, so that those driving from Alxa Left Banner can go directly to the campsite, saving a round trip of 40km.
