Zhongwei City, located in the central and western part of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of China, is a place full of natural scenery and historical culture. Zhongwei is a frontier fortress on the 'Silk Road' and has been a strategic military location in the northwest region since ancient times. Currently, it is the third largest railway traffic hub connecting the northwest and north China, and is a must-pass place for the 'East-West Passage' of the Eurasian Continental Bridge. The territory integrates five major landforms: river alluvial plain, plateau, desert, mountain, and hill, and is known as 'The Yellow River enriches Ningxia, and Zhongwei is the richest'. Zhongwei has the national 4A-level tourist attraction Shapotou, which integrates sand, mountains, rivers, and gardens; the Sikouzi tourist area known for its dangerous and unique Danxia landform; the Paleolithic site of Yibowquan, ancient rock paintings, Zhongwei Gaomiao, Shuanglongshan Grottoes, Haiyuan 'Global Earthquake' site and many other historical sites and scenic spots. They are not only unique tourism resources, but also show the brilliant ancient civilization and profound cultural heritage of Zhongwei, winning the reputation of 'Cultural Pearl of the Frontier'. Here is the boundless desert, here is the most romantic hotel, here is the night sky full of stars... Various labels make everyone curious and longing for it. I believe there is always one reason that attracts you to visit.

Desert Star: Mingle in The Middle

Address - Shapotou Tourist Area Time and Space Gate Visitor Center Reception Desk, Zhongwei, 755000, Ningxia, China. Getting There - 9km away from Zhongwei Xiangshan Airport or in my case 7.3km from railway station (Guangzhou Baiyun Airport->Hedongjiang Airport->Zhongweinan Railway Train Station) Ambiance/Facilities - The room is very clean and the area is covered with lots of helpful and lovely staffs roaming around fulfilling the requests from customers 🥰 Highlights - The night view over the whole area (using drone) as shot and of course star gazing at night at the Star Gazing platform prepared. Rating - 4.7/5 #thisischina #travelinspiration #travelwithgeo #travelphotography #chinatravel #wanderlust #droneview #ningxia #dji

Took a trip out of the city to see China's northwest! Great way to spend the New Year holiday. Recommendations: 1. Desert Star Hotel (沙漠星星) it's about two hours from Yinchuan airport by high-speed rail and then taxi. Great sunrise views over the sand dunes! 2. Xipo Hostel in Shapotou. It has a very old west Americana vibe with an awesome little community. Also you can see parts of the old Great Wall 3. Route 66 … a 1km stretch of road that is very "instagrammable". Really only for the pictures, you can skip if it's not your thing. #newyearstrip #ningxia

Desert Travel Destination Recommendation | Zhongwei Shapotou

Zhongwei Shapotou.【Opening】: For playing with sand, choose Shapotou Tourist Area·Zhongwei, with its high-altitude sand sliding, zip-lining over the Yellow River, and camel riding in the desert. Every trip to the desert feels surreal, with no one around, endless expanses, and the wind whipping up a sky full of sand, making you feel small but your heart grow larger. Perhaps this is the charm of desert travel. 【Lazy Route】: After entering the scenic area, first take the sightseeing bus, then play on the zip line over the Yellow River back and forth, and finally take the cable car to the top of Shapotou for a grand panorama. It's recommended to first take the sightseeing bus to see the desert, ride camels, and drive off-road vehicles. When returning to Shapotou, you can slide down the sand and take a sheepskin raft down the Yellow River back to the entrance of the scenic area. 【Recommended Projects】: 1. Yellow River Zip Line Very thrilling, the heavier you are, the faster you slide. Flying over the Yellow River still feels vast. The round trip has different elevations, and it looks dangerous but is actually very safe. 2. Hundred Meter Sand Slide Probably one of the steepest sand slides I've seen in China, even more fun than those in Dunhuang. It always feels like it's going to flip, but it seems it never does, which is quite amazing. 3. Camel Riding Got on a camel just before it was time for them to go home for dinner. The camels seemed eager to get home, moving quite fast haha, the up and down bumps were so comfortable I almost fell asleep. 4. Sheepskin Raft An ancient water transport on the western Yellow River, you can directly experience the ups and downs of the river's current. I've also taken one in Lanzhou before, it feels very historical. 【Accommodation Strategy】: We chose the Zhongwei Desert Longmen Inn, with a standard room for one night at 686 yuan. The hotel staff were very responsible, the breakfast was surprisingly good, the public restrooms were also very clean, not crowded at all, and the value for money was high. 【Travel Strategy】: 1. Location: Shapotou Tourist Area·Zhongwei Parking Lot; 2. Transportation: Self-driving is convenient, but be careful on the highway as there are many trucks; there are also trains to Zhongwei Shapotou which are quite convenient; 3. Tickets: It is recommended to buy the 399 yuan package ticket, which is more cost-effective and includes all the projects; 4. Time: You can play for a day, sand sliding projects require queuing, so it's advised to come early in the morning; 5. Food: We ate at the service area on our self-drive trip, and there are simple meals and snacks in the scenic area; 6. Toilets: Very convenient in the scenic area. 【tips】: 1. It's very sunny, so apply plenty of sunscreen, and don't forget cool sunglasses and a hat; 2. Bringing holey sandals was a wise choice, no need to shake out the sand; 3. Always keep hydrated and replenish energy; 4. Listen to the guides for the activities, playing around on your own could be dangerous.

The long desert star river is eternal, life is romantic, living with you

🚗 Life is short, if you have seen mountains and rivers, lakes and seas, then try to go to the desert once, see the golden sand sea, the huge camel group, and the rare oasis, it will make your heart stay~ Feel comfortable 👭 🏃‍♂️The wild wind of the northwest will always blow to every freedom-loving person. The daytime is as passionate as 40 degrees, and the night is as gentle as jade 20 degrees, this is the Tengger Desert. 🌟The endless desert is endless. 🧚🏼Away from the city, find the most free self. 👍Here, there is no trouble, it is really relaxing. 👌Features: Camels, beer, barbecue fireworks 🎆Mountain bike sand sliding 1️⃣Everything in the desert is very complete and sufficient, and you can also bring some food in for barbecue, braised dishes, water, etc. There are usually mineral water, beer and peanuts, melon seeds and the like at the campsite, but they all charge. This place is not as desolate as imagined, and everything you want is available. 2️⃣It is recommended to wear a storm jacket, windproof, it is more appropriate to get up at night to see the stars. You can wear some ethnic style skirts and western cowboy style for taking pictures, they are all super out of the picture. 😄 3️⃣Just bring a pair of slippers, soft sand, you won't want to wear shoes, slippers are the most convenient choice. 🎀 🐭If you are lucky, you can see the small sand rats in the desert. They are super cute, but unfortunately we didn't have time to take pictures and they ran away early. 4️⃣Yellow River Inn Collection 💓💓 Route 66 Stay at the of the Yellow River Inn Collection, The environment, service, and decoration style are all very good, and each room has its own characteristics. The breakfast at the Yellow River Inn Collection is served at the 'Guest' and 'Old Wang Ji Breakfast Shop', which are all buffet style and different, and I love Old Wang Ji more! 🎉Checked in the coffee of the "Zhongwei" logo Daler Wild, the park is designed by a designer, each homestay is different, the boss will have differences after contracting the interior decoration, but the style outside the park is consistent and very healing! 🚗I chartered a car to that day. It is recommended to go to to play the project first, and then go to Route 66, but Shapotou is really hot! When I went there, it was summer vacation, the sun was scorching, so I was very Buddhist, because I had seen the Tengger Desert and experienced the desert project, so I didn't go to Shapotou. I went to Route 66 at 3 o'clock, standing on the hills on both sides, I saw the entire Danxia landform. I returned to the Yellow River Inn Collection at night, and I could sit in the small courtyard, make a pot of canned tea, and look at the stars all over the sky, feeling like a paradise! 5️⃣Yirong Yun Hotel The next day we returned to the city and checked into a hotel in the city center. The parking lot was very large and spacious, parking was very convenient, and the security uncle was very good, helping us with our luggage, and the front desk lady enthusiastically helped us check in. The bathroom in the room is dry and wet separated, and the bedding is also very clean. After putting away the luggage, we are going out for dinner. 💗💗The overall journey is very happy, although the body is a bit tired but the soul is unprecedentedly relaxed! Sisters come to the northwest! If you come, you will regret it for a week, if you don't come, you will regret it for a lifetime!!

Tengger dessert in Northwest-China

Tengger Desert (腾格里沙漠) lies 25 km north of Zhongwei, 150 km south of Yinchuan. It is the fourth largest desert in China. You can find developed touristy area or wild nature. Choose whatever you want. I recommend to rent a car or a driver. Otherwise, you can also book a tour. 🏜️ Enjoying sunrise or sunset from a local guesthouse 🏜️ Ride a motorbike into the dessert 🏜️ Enjoy a Mongolian homestay 🏴 Easy accessable from Zhongwei, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. As mentioned above, car/taxi/tour... If you have a car you can just drive towards the dessert. You will find some guesthouse for sure. The dessert itself is actually in Inner Mongolia, but all the closeby cities are in Ningxia. Have fun and stay safe! Enjoy! #dessert #mongolia #northwestchina #summervacation

In the distant Gansu, the most impressive impression is the slightly deserted Gobi Desert in the northwest. Although, I can't say exactly what the Gobi Desert and the Gobi Desert really look like. Just came to Gansu to start from Lanzhou, and showed me a colorful Gansu, because Gansu's geographical span is large, it is actually richer than I expected. This trip will not go too far into the conventional scenic spot, another kind goes deep into Gansu, but today there is still a chance to have a quick contact with the Tengger Desert.

A Train in the Desert

In the desert of Zhongwei, there is a unique static train hotel that is definitely worth staying for a few nights. The train has very cosy rooms and has wonderful views of the desert of Zhongwei in Ningxia province. In the desert you can play in the sand dunes or drive a 4x4 over the desert sand for much fun. The train is located in Tenggeli desert in Zhongwei city. It is reached by train or plane. #zhongwei #desert

Jinshahai Desert Theme Hotel.

Jinshahai Desert Theme Train Hotel is a great place to stay in Zhongwei. To move around this place and the area I recommend hiring a driver. You will be grateful especially for the air conditioning. You can perfectly plan to stay one or two nights of your holidays in this place to enjoy all the landmarks and activities. The hotel offers impeccable facilities and you can choose whether to stay in the train hotel in a wagon or stay in a tent in the middle of the dessert. Both options were amazing so we stayed in both LOL. The tents are very spacious and clean. The staff are friendly and offers a great service. Breakfast is included and not bad for the average price of the hotel. You will find yourself having so much fun wandering around this place, taking photographs and discovering the unique landscape. #createwithtrip #holidays #exploring #createwithtrip

My Moments have been bombarded with questions, everyone thought I went abroad

It is the shooting location of 'Dear Inn 3', known as the 'Chinese version of Morocco'. · 🏡Zhongwei·Dale of Joy · The inn itself is worth a special trip as a check-in landmark.

A representative of Moroccan style, an oasis in the desert, back on the road

In the deserted desert, looking for the vastness of nature, looking up at the stars, extreme off-roading, watching the sunset, and then moving into a down-to-earth home, living a delicate and simple life, I think this is the meaning of freedom. From the green Mogan Mountain, to the Jiangnan charm of Jinxi, to the Yushan Island in Suzhou, every landing of Daxi Wild is inseparable from nature and the countryside. This time, it came from afar and stopped at the edge of the Tengger Desert, being neighbors with the Shapotou in Zhongwei, Ningxia, and looking at the different scenery with pride. Design In order to restore the original architectural appearance of the local area, Daxi Wild uses rammed earth as the main building material. The mottled wall is the earthy yellow that is inherited from the desert. It has the heavy texture of the years and the simple simplicity. The tall old trees or wooden autumn dry guards the quiet courtyard, and the warm yellow lights that light up at night add a bit of cozy human touch. Room The guest rooms of the homestay are built in the courtyard of the plaster wall. The interior is minimalist. The 15 guest rooms all face the west side. The floor-to-ceiling glass wall design can see the Yellow River, orchards, reed swamps, and beacon towers on the Great Wall. Inside are exquisite and stylish fabric sofas, wooden furniture, literary fireplaces, linen-colored bedding, etc., which retain the northwest style while also ensuring a comfortable and secure environment. Some rooms also have independent terraces, where you can enjoy the desert sunset in the evening. Food The Yellow River Inn has a shared restaurant, breakfast and daily meals are eaten in the inn's restaurant, it's not rich, but it's just right, and the taste is also good, the beach sheep in the northwest is a unique delicacy here, whether it's on the rooftop terrace, in the desert wilderness, or facing a large poplar forest, or even on the banks of the Yellow River, each has its own mood and charm. Service The service is very particular, a few days before the entry, the staff pulled a service group. The service of the housekeepers makes people feel like going home. They will introduce transportation, food, drink, and fun information. After arrival, the housekeepers follow up and care all the way, ask about warmth in the WeChat group, especially intimate, any needs can be met in time, the bonfire at night, goodnight milk and sweet soup, add a lot of warmth to the short journey of the Yellow River and the desert.

Zhongwei Homestay | The Moroccan version of China, the great joy of the Yellow River lodging collection

🏜️ The Moroccan version of China's Zhongwei, a super niche tourist destination, where you can take desert blockbuster photos without leaving the country. Make the most of the summer time. Embark on an impromptu desert homestay journey. Located in Zhongwei, Ningxia, adjacent to the Tengger Desert, with the Yellow River's fruit orchards and oasis gobi, it's interesting that the Yellow River makes a big 270-degree turn here. This area is home to five homestays of the Yellow River lodging collection, namely Xuli/The Great Joy of the Wild/Feicuiji/Nan'an/Xipo, which are also the filming locations for the beloved TV show 'Inn'. It's a little over a 2-hour drive from Yinchuan to the Yellow River lodging collection, where I stayed at The Great Joy of the Wild and Nan'an. The homestay experience was quite nice, with a bonfire dinner available in the evening, which needs to be booked in advance with the housekeeper. Since it was a holiday, I booked with the housekeeper ten days in advance. I didn't manage to book the famous afternoon tea at Nan'an. What I liked even more is that there are art galleries, bookstores, coffee shops, etc., especially the bookstores, as I like to buy books from different places. I found 'The Last Night of the Earth' by Bolano in the bookstore, which gave me a special sense of experience in this artistic place. 🏨: The Great Joy of the Wild & Nan'an (Zhongwei Shapotou store) 📍: Shangyou Village, Changle Town, Shapotou District, Zhongwei
