Xiangshawan's Secret: Why Does the Sand Sing?

🌅 Step onto the golden sands of Xiangshawan, and you'll feel like you've entered a dreamland. Every grain of sand seems to whisper ancient stories, waiting to be heard. 🎶 Listen closely, and you'll hear the desert's unique melody—the singing sand. Gently slide down the dunes, and a crisp, pleasant sound will rise from beneath your feet, like a natural symphony, refreshing and calming. This is the magic of Xiangshawan! 🐫 Ride a gentle camel, stroll through the vast desert, and experience its immensity and mystery. The camel bells chime in harmony with the singing sand, composing a touching desert song. 🛬 [Itinerary]: Day 1: Arrive in Hohhot → Free time🎉 Day 2: Hohhot → Wulanhada Volcano🌋 → Huitengxile Grassland🐎 → Horseback riding → Overnight stay in a yurt🛖 Day 3: Huanghuagou → Meet at the Ovoo → Overnight stay in Baotou🏘️ Day 4: Baotou → Xiangshawan → Check in to Lotus Hotel🏨 Day 5: Xiangshawan → Enjoy Yuesha Island / Xiansha Island🏝️ → Overnight stay in Hohhot Day 6: Hohhot → Return to your cozy home🏡 ⛺ [Must-See Attractions]: 1️⃣ Wulanhada Volcano 🌋 🌄 A primal mark on Earth, atop the volcano, listen to the heartbeat of the earth. 2️⃣ Huitengxile Grassland 🌿 🌅 Summer grassland, stars hanging low, a spiritual oasis awaits you. 3️⃣ Xiangshawan 🏜️ 🏖️ Desert sounds of nature, purple sand dunes under the setting sun, a beauty beyond this world. 🍩 [Must-Try Food]: ✨ Shao Mai, a must-try! Thin skin, generous filling, the classic mutton and green onion filling is a burst of flavor and juicy goodness in every bite. ✨ Hand-grabbed Mutton, a traditional Mongolian delicacy, tender and juicy, preserving the original flavor. Dip it in chive flower sauce, and you won't be able to stop. ✨ The salty milk tea in Mongolian cuisine is also amazing, salty, fragrant, and rich, paired with fried rice, it offers a rich texture and becomes more addictive with each sip. ✨ Lamb offal, the lamb offal is cleaned thoroughly and cooked until tender, mixed with a fragrant and spicy broth, every bite is super satisfying, warming, and appetizing. 🧡 [Tips]: 1️⃣ Be sure to protect yourself from the sun. The desert sun is extremely strong, so sunscreen, sun-protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses are essential. 2️⃣ Wear comfortable shoes for walking in the sand. You can also bring shoe covers to prevent sand from getting into your shoes. 3️⃣ Drink plenty of water. The desert climate is dry, so it's important to stay hydrated.
