Zhongwei hides a desert diamond palace!

Lie back and watch the starry river, surf in the pool—more stunning than abroad. From the air, the hotel looks like a diamond necklace embedded in the Tengger Desert, with gray-white crystal buildings shining under the sun, creating a beautiful contrast with the rolling sand dunes. Only 30 rooms extend along the curve, each starting at 70㎡, with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows framing the boundless desert scenery like a flowing painting. You can catch the golden sand sea at sunrise right from your bed. The blue heart-shaped pool complements the pure white chapel, and every snapshot looks like a desert version of “Ayana.” Laid-back luxury: Desert slow living with full attention to detail The rooms are equipped with Palma water toiletries, Dyson hairdryers, and an unlimited minibar of snacks and drinks. The terrace lounge chairs are perfect for an afternoon daydream. In the evening, head to the dunes with a special cocktail in hand and watch the sunset dye the sky orange-red; when night falls, the building’s star lights echo the Milky Way, and the butler will take you to a stargazing class. After a day of fun, soak in a scenic bathtub and let your fatigue instantly disappear. Surrounding wild play guide: Take over the desert and the Yellow River - Shapotou fun: Within walking distance to the scenic area, ride camels across the dunes, drive dune buggies over rolling sand waves, and daredevils must try the “Flying Prosperity” project. - Family time: Join desert hiking science tours, make colorful sand bottle crafts, and observe sunspots, earning exclusive certificates. - Cultural roaming: Take a special car to Route 66 for western-style photo shoots and visit Beichangtan Ancient Village, the filming location of “Minning Town.”
