Kubuqi Desert 🇨🇳 Inner Mongolia
Hiking in the Desert is an experience I'll never forget.
It was as expected ridiculously hot, with almost no shade. The hiking itself is moderately difficult, you'll just need to make sure you carry enough water as there are no vendors until you reach the campsites.
The kit lists you'll be advised to prepare for this kind of tour are completely excessive 🤣. You'll need a pair of hiking shoes, a hat and a load of sun cream (plus your regular travel bag). The guides in our case provided the poles and shoes covers.
For the hike, we put all our bags into the tour bus, which met us later in the evening at the campsite.
In the campsite they had large communal showers, a huge firepit, a 'restaurant' and a small shop to buy drinks, snacks and local alcoholic beverages.
The evening entertainment was a battery powered KTV speaker, Chinese lanterns and a box of fireworks.
A cool trip and a different experience.

Inner Mongolia | Kubuqi Desert, the key point is that there are not many people
I didn't choose the closer Resonant Sand Bay to Hohhot
In order to experience the wild desert, I drove for more than an hour
The arrival at the destination proved that the choice was correct
There were only 6 people in the whole desert play project, and it was a one-stop service
There is only one hotel within a radius of 20 kilometers, like a left-behind child stationed in the desert
So just navigate to 📍Yeming Sand Hotel
Even if it was cloudy that day, I still saw the stars all over the sky at night
And the first Milky Way 🌌 I saw in my life
The joy of childhood has grown up with me🎈

Shooting coordinates 📍Ordos 📍Yeming Sand
Self-driving route: Hohhot➡️Yeming Sand, about 3 and a half hours
Highway fee: 💰99
⚠️It is best to bring some dry food, the hotel does not serve meals all day
⚠️And disposable items, it is indeed difficult to meet the hygiene standards in the desert
⚠️Down jacket is really necessary

7th Biggest Desert in China 🇨🇳
#wecreate
When I say 7th biggest , it is actually the smallest desert in China but still way bigger than London City . Mindblowing! We did a private tour and a private tour guide so everything was very convenient. It was my first time riding a camel and it is an experience worth remembering. The jeep sand dune driving was so much fun. You'd only reach this area of the desert by a cable car first then once you arrive in the tourist area then you can enjoy all the activities there.
This place to be honest has become so commercial and touristy so temper your expectations. But if you can just enjoy the activities then you will probably have a good time there.
It is a 4-5 drive from hohhot.
TIP: Do bring Sunscreen and a hat if you don't want to be burnt.
Interesting and admirable fact: They managed to transform this part of kubuqi desert into wetlands where people can farm and live. It is very impressive.
Enjoy your desert experience.?

Kubuqi desert
A nice trip to Inner Mongolia from Beijing. You will see the endless landscape with golden dunes all around. Before entering on the territory of the desert it’s necessary to put on special covers on your shoes. Then you will take a cable car to the inner part of the desert. Trip on a cable car will give you the opportunity to enjoy to nature, look all around and have a closer look at the desert’s life. When you arrive, on the territory of the desert you will find lots of activities. It’s possible to ride a camel, play on the sand slides, ride the jeep, try a cable slide etc.
Recommended time - 4/5 hours.

Photographed in the Kubuqi Desert
person, you must go to see the desert, so that you can experience the greatness of nature, the smallness of human beings, picnicking at Lake Zahar, singing at the campside, Couples who took wedding photos on foot, wrapped in sleeping bags, waited until the moon fell, watching the Milky Way slowly climb the top of the head, the top of the head is all shining stars, watching the desert and the smoke and watching the Yellow River sunset Feel the nine songs and eighteen bends are some great memories, slowly try to grow slowly, and make a promise, you must bring your own children to the Kubuqi Desert to experience the beauty of the desert.
Muse.
The Kubuqi Desert is the seventh largest desert in China and the desert closest to Beijing. The west, north and east sides are bounded by the Yellow River.
The last trip to the desert in Shapotou left a very good memory, nostalgia for the desert buggy, the leisure of a camel ride and the embarrassment of riding a sheepskin. I always think that there is no day to nostalgic, just this time to play in the Xilamuren grassland, not far from the Kubuqi Desert, just to regain memories, so I quickly made a decision with my wife.
Along the way, it was soon to the scenic spot, Xiangshawan, a famous 5A-level tourist attraction. In fact, there are deserts everywhere, everywhere can be used as attractions, just circled around and got some playing items.
bought tickets and play packages at the door, the price is more expensive than Shapotou. However, the facilities and services in the scenic spots are not comparable to Shapotou, but they always come, and they still have fun.
Note:
1, first of all, pay attention to sunscreen, hats, shawls, long-sleeved pants are essential, where the sun is dark.
2, secondly, pay attention to sand prevention. If your camera has a professional sand cover, it is good. If you don't use plastic wrap instead, you must pack it. Otherwise, it will be when the lens is in focus after entering the sand. The ground is ringing, and you are distressed to die. In addition to the camera to prevent sand, shoes should also be sand-proof, it is best to spend 10 yuan in front of the scenic area to rent a sand-proof shoe cover at the door, so that you can have fun.
3, with enough water and food, although the scenic area is also sold, but you know that the price is definitely not optimistic.
