Zhongwei | A niche desert hidden in the city

| A niche desert hidden in the city. Many people's first reaction to the desert in Zhongwei is to visit the Shapotou tourist area, but many do not know that there is a lesser-known secret spot in the Shapotou district of Zhongwei—Jinsha Sea. Here, you can find not only the endless desert but also desert off-roading, cycling, travel photography, sand sliding, and other amusement projects. There is no admission fee, and the activities are much cheaper than those in Shapotou, offering great value for money. There's even a train hostel in the desert, away from the crowds, making it a highly recommended spot for a vacation getaway. 🌈Practical tips: 👉The road to Jinsha Sea is quite desolate, all paved with concrete, and includes a stretch of desert highway where the signal is intermittent. It's best to download the map in advance; 👉Since there are fewer tourists at Jinsha Sea, the facilities are not very well developed, so it's best to bring your own food and drinks; 👉The sand and wind at Jinsha Sea are strong, and it's very sunny, so remember to bring sunglasses, hats, masks, etc. If you want to sand slide, you can buy a sandboard in the city; 👉Travel photography at Jinsha Sea requires advance booking. The photography shops here are converted from shipping containers and may not always be open. There's also a train hostel, which requires advance booking, and you can even order meals to enjoy by the Moon Lake in the desert, which is quite romantic. 🏠Basic Information 👑Name: Jinsha Sea 📍Address: Shapotou District, Zhongwei City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region 💰Admission: Free ⏰Opening Hours: Open all day 👣Recommended Visit Duration: Half a day 🍀Travel photography exploration, discovering niche travel destinations🍀 ❤️Continuously updating, like and follow if you enjoy❤️
