This trip to Ningxia, I chose to stay at the desert tent hotel, which completely exceeded expectations and was a perfect wild luxury experience! The hotel hides in the hinterland of the Tengger Desert, away from the hustle and bustle. When you open the tent, you will see the continuous sand dunes and the vast sky, and you will really realize the zero distance from the desert starry sky.
The starry sky tent we stayed in, the public toilet has 24-hour hot water, and even in the desert, there is no inconvenience. The temperature at night was low, and the staff also prepared electric blankets intimately, warm and at ease. It felt cold at night and added 2 quilts.
During the day, watch the sand waves quietly on the terrace, or participate in sandboarding, camel riding and other activities, and feel the desert. In the evening, the sunset melts gold, and the embers dye the dunes warm gold, and it is a blockbuster. As night fell, the Milky Way clearly spanned the sky, lying on the bed through the skylight looking at the stars, romantic to the extreme.
The service is also impeccable, the butler is warm and caring, the response is timely, and the shuttle bus is on call. There are fireworks at the bonfire show at night,
Here, away from the city lights, there is sand sea, starry sky and evening breeze. An unforgettable desert trip, from sunrise to the galaxy, from the senses to the heart, has been healed by this land

National Day stay price is higher, the room is slightly smaller, but very warm, send Shapotou tickets and sandboarding coupons, the service staff are very warm, the location is very good, the window is the Yellow River, get up early to play in the Yellow River area to avoid the queue for holidays. The dinner and supper sent are delicious and rich. It is the favorite hotel in Yinchuan, Zhongwei.
This self-guided desert tour is absolutely amazing! The desert scenery is majestic and magnificent, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the golden sand dunes, as beautiful as a painting. The campsite facilities are complete and the staff are warm and caring. The food is diverse, the roasted whole lamb is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma is overflowing. Camel riding, sand boarding and other activities are super exciting. Moreover, the self-guided itinerary is free and allows you to deeply experience the charm of the desert. Highly recommended, looking forward to coming again next time!
The desert camping experience, the whole trip is very comfortable, the housekeeper is very good, their room is very clean, the service is great, their play project is also very good, we bought a C package under the recommendation of the housekeeper, the children play directly, super racing is also the most exciting project, The soul flies in front, the person chases behind, quite exciting, the driver's technology does not lose the professional driver, step on the thunder and avoid the pit, all rest assured, highly recommended
The hotel is right next to various sand dunes, making sand play incredibly convenient! Adults sunbathe in the fine sand, while kids jump on trampolines during the day and dig in the sand until 10 pm, reluctant to go to sleep – they didn't want to leave!
The evening bonfire party was even more lively. We danced the bunny hop with the MC, watched fireworks to music, and enjoyed the atmosphere immensely – so relaxing and fun! The owner and staff provided excellent service, always ready to help. The owner even personally drove all the guests' children to the sandboarding area, which the kids loved. The campsite itself was beautiful, especially at night when all the lights were on – it was truly stunning. Highly recommend this trip!

As someone who pays attention to every detail, I couldn't find a single fault with this B&B in Zhongwei! The desert environment is quiet and beautiful, the air is fresh, and the views are spectacular. It's incredibly therapeutic to be away from the hustle and bustle. The room layout is well-planned and functional, with a smooth flow and thoughtful storage, making it very convenient to stay in. The facilities are comprehensive and well-maintained, with plenty of stable hot water that comes out quickly and maintains a consistent temperature. The bathroom was spotless. The bedding was brand new, clean, crisp, soft, and gentle on the skin. Both the pillows and mattress were perfectly comfortable, ensuring a deep and restful sleep. The food was home-style, freshly prepared, delicious, and flavorful – not too strong or greasy, healthy and satisfying. The service was exceptional, with the owner personally attending to us throughout our stay. They were warm, polite, and responsive, proactively anticipating our needs while being attentive without being intrusive. The cleanliness, environment, facilities, dining, and service were all top-notch. A perfect accommodation experience in Zhongwei!

Comfortable like home, the most quality homestay I have ever stayed in [screaming teeth]
The proprietress is enthusiastic and highly recommended!
The texture is great! Next time I come to Zhongwei, I will come to live.
The most important! The manager of the small courtyard also arranged a guitarist for everyone [screaming teeth]
A great desert camping hotel experience!
Originally worried that the desert accommodation conditions would be bad, the result was completely worried. The whole camp was exquisitely furnished at night, and the warm light of the triangle was full of atmosphere, and the photos were huge. The sand is very flat, the accommodation is clean and the stay is very comfortable.
There is no light pollution in the city at night, you can see the super beautiful night sky, sleep peacefully at night, and watch the desert sunrise in the morning. The service is warm and the experience is far beyond expectations. It is the first choice for visiting the Zhongyu Desert, not stepping on thunder!

This time I came to Ningxia to play, I wanted to go to Shapotou. But considering the flow of people. Persuaded. Go directly to the Tengger Desert
I go! Brothers and sisters! This choice is absolutely reliable, first, there are few people to make you lonely, and there are everything to play.
Instead of spending money to suffer the sins in line! It is better to bring your own beautiful desert style costume, play all the things to play, and take some beautiful desert photos.
There are too many hotels, I don't know how to choose:
From the perspective of the environment, I don't recommend tents, because the desert is windy and sandy, living in tents is very uncomfortable. Other hotels in Tengger actually have the same environment.
Of course, if you don't bring your baby to be healthy and not afraid to go, you can go to any hotel (some hotels are far from where you play). With a doll, the place where I live is as follows. (For my experience with a doll, I think other hotels are called other than the encounter.)
Qiyu Homestay
1️⃣ Parent-child activities: You can play for one day (the last day picture is attached to the activity content, and it will be adjusted every day)
2️⃣ Distance: Where to play, recently, walking in the desert. One step at a time, a closer point is especially suitable for me, a lazy guy.
3️⃣ Service: The child is weak, and the water and soil are not satisfied and pull and vomit. At 3 am, we called the housekeeper, and the housekeeper pulled us out without saying anything. This service made us feel particularly touched. My husband felt that it was inappropriate to disturb others so late, so he gave the housekeeper 200 tips. The housekeeper chased us and gave us back.
4️⃣ No-man's Land Crossing: 300 people for two hours. Selective play.
The answers many people are looking for?
I have never been to the desert. Before I went to Tengger, I always wanted to find the answer, but no one in the network said it clearly. I will sort it out for everyone today!
1️⃣ Free sandboarding in hotels: Every hotel has free sandboarding, and you need to see whether the sand slope is big or not. There is a small slope sandboarding in the desert, and there is a super large slope sandboarding at the back door.
2️⃣ Do you want to buy a package? Be sure, because the price is particularly high for single play.
Desert equipment essential: sand mirror, shoe cover, mask, water. These must be brought. It is difficult to walk.
1. A stay experience that exceeds expectations! Health, environment, service, facilities are all five-star praise, the scenery of the double view of Shahu Lake is absolutely recommended!
2 Amazed by the dual beauty of the desert and lake! The view of the room is superb, the door is the scenery of the sand lake, the bonfire and fireworks atmosphere at night are directly full, it is perfect to come
3 Bring your family to experience desert accommodation, no thunder at all! The room space is large enough, 4 people are not crowded, the health is in place, the staff is attentive throughout the whole process, and the children have a great time.
Perfect

Very Good
Amazing experience, everything was great. The staff really helpful, picked us up and took to the desert.
A friendly lady host who fetched us from Zhongwei South railway station to the entrance of the campsite for a fee, 60 yuan. The next day we paid her another 60 yuan transportation fee to our hotel in Zhongwei city. At the entrance, another 4WD vehicle fetched us to and from the campsite which is less than two minutes away from the main entrance. This campsite has about 107 camps, 20 or so wooden chalets and also 20+ VIPs private individual chalets. We booked a two-beds camp to experience the night stay in the desert. The camp was clean and met our expectations. The shared bathrooms & toilets were also clean. The only setback was the unstable flow of the hot water, and we have informed the host about it. Breakfast served was adequate.
Fresh air, lovely nature, majestic mountains, green grape vines … nature enthusiasts will love it like us ! Food was a bit expensive but the breakfast was fabulous. We appreciated the painting session which relaxed us and gave us time out in the quietness and lovely surroundings. We also enjoyed looking into their little poultry farm which had geese, ostrich and chicken roaming freely. The eggs we had for breakfast came from the farm.

Outstanding
Coming here is truly relaxing. This winery B&B is located at the foot of the Helan Mountains, offering stunning views. Rooms have terraces where you can enjoy a morning coffee while watching the sunrise. The hotel is also very quiet. All guests can participate in a fun DIY wine blending activity. With the help of a professional guide, you can learn about wine beyond your normal knowledge and even blend your own bottle! From selecting the base wine, determining the proportions, to bottling and labeling...it's a truly ceremonial experience! The restaurant on the first floor serves all three meals a day, and the food is delicious. Every staff member is very friendly. One morning, a lady noticed I was wearing too little and reminded me to put on more clothes because it was cold outside. Highly recommended!
We stayed in the Star View Suite, which accommodated 5 people. The room was clean and tidy, and very unique. The room service was attentive, helped with the luggage, greeted us proactively, and responded to WeChat very quickly. There were fruits, milk, eggs, coffee, mineral water, and eight-treasure tea in the room. If time permits, you can stay a few more days.
Close to Yinchuan Hedong Airport, good for a rest before you have an early morning flight. The manager even gave me a free ride to the airport and some breakfast snacks, great service!
MM628386****The hotel room is very good, the mattress is very comfortable, the sanitation is very clean, the front desk service is also very good, not bad 👍👍👍
The hotel service was absolutely fantastic! They added me on WeChat in advance and even included round-trip transfers. They kindly helped us check in and showed us around the camp. In the evening, there was a bonfire party and fireworks, which was a lot of fun. I got to experience staying in a tent, and it was incredibly clean, even had two bottles of water ready, and they reminded us about breakfast time – super thoughtful! The whole experience was excellent. The next day, we also enjoyed unlimited sandboarding, which was a blast! Absolutely wonderful, I'll definitely come back again!
