The three-wheeled desert ride at Shapotou is a great experience. Weaving through the undulating sand dunes, with the wind blowing in your face and the vast desert scenery unfolding before your eyes, the ride is moderately bumpy, gentler than a dune buggy, and even children can ride in it. The views are expansive, making for great photo opportunities along the way. However, the vehicle isn't enclosed, so sand and dust will blow on you; remember to wear a hat and face mask. Overall, it's a relaxing and fun experience, perfect for those who want a light desert adventure and don't want anything too thrilling. Definitely worth a try!

There are so many activities in the desert: sandboarding, desert train rides, Bigfoot rides, camel riding, and it's best to travel off-peak. It's freezing cold! Remember to wear warm clothes.
Emerging in the desert to escape the rain in late autumn—fewer people, great for taking photos, so refreshing!

As the only mausoleum and burial site of a monarch who established a dynasty by the Tangut people, it is well worth learning about this history in detail. The scenic area begins with a visit to the museum to learn about the past and present of the Great White High Kingdom. After the museum visit, you can continue on to take a shuttle bus (which is quite a distance) to visit the royal tomb.

Some people like modern skyscrapers, some people like the beautiful scenery of nature, go here and have a look. Go a little further in and there are beautifully decorated windmills and swallow nests. It is really far away from the city and feels like a wrangler.
