Everyone has always been looking at mountains and seas, and they should all be tired of it. The current trend is not to run to the mountains and the sea, but to run to the desert to see what is called desert style!

(It's not good to go to the Arctic to see the aurora, it's better to come to the desert to see the stars)

In the vast desert, there is a shining star hidden - Zhongwei Desert Star Hotel. It stands alone in the yellow sand, facing the Tengger Desert across the river, allowing people to appreciate the magnificent scenery of lonely smoke in the desert and sunset over the long river at a close distance. Under the Milky Way in this desert, people dance with the stars, pursuing tranquility and poetry. Location Xingxing Hotel is located next to Shapotou Scenic Area and has a superior geographical location. It is only a 50-minute drive from another major IP in Zhongwei, "Yellow River Su Ji", about a 2-hour drive from Yinchuan Airport, and about a 40-minute drive from Zhongwei Airport. Therefore, even if the flight lands early that day, you can easily reach the Star Hotel and enjoy the The tranquility and poetry of the desert. Rooms The hotel's guest rooms are beautifully designed and cover an area of ​​35 acres. It has a wedding hall and 30 guest rooms, including 14 star diamond rooms, 14 star diamond suites and 2 blue diamond suites. Each room has a separate toilet and bathroom, equipped with L'Occitane amenities, which is very generous. The guest rooms are equipped with a Mini Bar, with unlimited refills of mineral water, cola drinks in the refrigerator, welcome fruits, etc. The most surprising thing is that they provide two sunscreen face towels to protect against sand and sun, which are especially practical in the desert! FOOD There is Star Café in the hotel's public area where you can have a cup of coffee. The dinner buffet hotpot is also very good, with a wide variety of dishes, as well as local lamb rolls, which are basically available in unlimited quantities, making for a perfect end to a happy day.

In the deserted desert, looking for the vastness of nature, looking up at the stars, extreme off-roading, watching the sunset, and then moving into a down-to-earth home, living a delicate and simple life, I think this is the meaning of freedom. From the green Mogan Mountain, to the Jiangnan charm of Jinxi, to the Yushan Island in Suzhou, every landing of Daxi Wild is inseparable from nature and the countryside. This time, it came from afar and stopped at the edge of the Tengger Desert, being neighbors with the Shapotou in Zhongwei, Ningxia, and looking at the different scenery with pride. Design In order to restore the original architectural appearance of the local area, Daxi Wild uses rammed earth as the main building material. The mottled wall is the earthy yellow that is inherited from the desert. It has the heavy texture of the years and the simple simplicity. The tall old trees or wooden autumn dry guards the quiet courtyard, and the warm yellow lights that light up at night add a bit of cozy human touch. Room The guest rooms of the homestay are built in the courtyard of the plaster wall. The interior is minimalist. The 15 guest rooms all face the west side. The floor-to-ceiling glass wall design can see the Yellow River, orchards, reed swamps, and beacon towers on the Great Wall. Inside are exquisite and stylish fabric sofas, wooden furniture, literary fireplaces, linen-colored bedding, etc., which retain the northwest style while also ensuring a comfortable and secure environment. Some rooms also have independent terraces, where you can enjoy the desert sunset in the evening. Food The Yellow River Inn has a shared restaurant, breakfast and daily meals are eaten in the inn's restaurant, it's not rich, but it's just right, and the taste is also good, the beach sheep in the northwest is a unique delicacy here, whether it's on the rooftop terrace, in the desert wilderness, or facing a large poplar forest, or even on the banks of the Yellow River, each has its own mood and charm. Service The service is very particular, a few days before the entry, the staff pulled a service group. The service of the housekeepers makes people feel like going home. They will introduce transportation, food, drink, and fun information. After arrival, the housekeepers follow up and care all the way, ask about warmth in the WeChat group, especially intimate, any needs can be met in time, the bonfire at night, goodnight milk and sweet soup, add a lot of warmth to the short journey of the Yellow River and the desert.

Looking up at the stars in the desert🌃This wish list can finally be checked off! The trip to the Desert Star Hotel will be held in the off-season of November✌️ ｜House selection guide! The room I booked on the OTA platform is a king-size bed room with sand view, located on the second floor! I hesitated when checking in, so the staff took me to visit the rooms on the second and first floors. In the end, I decisively chose the first floor. The view on the first floor is indeed unbeatable! We recommend rooms 173-180 in the Venus area with sand views (I stayed in room 178 in Cancer). The staff also recommend rooms 181-188 in the Mercury area. Future friends can refer to this! ｜Stay experience: The amenities are L'Occitane, Jingtian mineral water is supplied unlimitedly every day, there are 2 bottles of drinks and animal biscuits in the refrigerator (replenished daily), the bathroom is equipped with a children's toilet, and both adults and children have sand hole shoes to play with, which is very considerate and parent-child friendly! In winter, only sand view rooms are open because they have floor heating! Considering the dryness, a humidifier is also installed in the room, and the bathtub 🛁 is equipped with a disposable bath bag. Every detail shows the quality of hotel service 👍 ｜Hotel Activities As a parent-child themed resort hotel, it includes breakfast and evening buffets, and various daily activities (most of which are free) that guests can participate in as needed. Teacher Zhang Danni, who teaches the stargazing 🔭 themed indoor class, is patient and the content is rich and interesting. I recommend it! Please be sure to wear warm clothes, gloves and hats for outdoor stargazing activities. It's really cold🥶 ｜Service Warm and polite, thoughtful and heartwarming, very good 👍

Zhongwei City, located in the central and western part of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of China, is a place full of natural scenery and historical culture. Zhongwei is a frontier fortress on the 'Silk Road' and has been a strategic military location in the northwest region since ancient times. Currently, it is the third largest railway traffic hub connecting the northwest and north China, and is a must-pass place for the 'East-West Passage' of the Eurasian Continental Bridge. The territory integrates five major landforms: river alluvial plain, plateau, desert, mountain, and hill, and is known as 'The Yellow River enriches Ningxia, and Zhongwei is the richest'. Zhongwei has the national 4A-level tourist attraction Shapotou, which integrates sand, mountains, rivers, and gardens; the Sikouzi tourist area known for its dangerous and unique Danxia landform; the Paleolithic site of Yibowquan, ancient rock paintings, Zhongwei Gaomiao, Shuanglongshan Grottoes, Haiyuan 'Global Earthquake' site and many other historical sites and scenic spots. They are not only unique tourism resources, but also show the brilliant ancient civilization and profound cultural heritage of Zhongwei, winning the reputation of 'Cultural Pearl of the Frontier'. Here is the boundless desert, here is the most romantic hotel, here is the night sky full of stars... Various labels make everyone curious and longing for it. I believe there is always one reason that attracts you to visit.

Zhongwei, this city seems to have a unique magic. Among the diverse landscapes such as the desert, the Yellow River, the mountains and the oasis, it perfectly blends ancient traditions, modern conveniences and natural beauty. Shapotou Gengshi, as a business card of Zhongwei, left a deep impression on me. Standing in Shapotou and overlooking the confluence of the desert and the Yellow River, the magnificence and vastness are heart-stirring. In this vast desert, the Tengger Desert Wetland Jinsha Island Tourist Area is another beautiful landscape. Here, deserts and wetlands coexist, showing the magic and diversity of nature. Zhongwei's Kouzi Scenic Area and Tengger Wetland Water Conservancy Scenic Area also have their own merits. Whether it is the charming 🏜️ desert or the magnificent 🌊 Yellow River, they all leave a deep impression on people. Stroll through Zhongwei's diverse natural scenery and feel the beauty and wonder of the world. In addition to the natural scenery, Zhongwei's cultural heritage also amazed me. Zhongwei Gaomiao is a temple built on a high platform, with its architectural layout neatly and in an orderly and orderly manner. Here, you can feel Zhongwei’s profound religious atmosphere and long history and culture. Standing on the bank of the Yellow River, my mind is filled with thoughts. This city has brought me so many surprises and touched me. Zhongwei’s cleanliness, tranquility and beauty are deeply engraved in our hearts. This is a city located on the edge of the Tengger Desert, but it is full of vitality and vigor.

🚗 Life is short, if you have seen mountains and rivers, lakes and seas, then try to go to the desert once, see the golden sand sea, the huge camel group, and the rare oasis, it will make your heart stay~ Feel comfortable 👭 🏃‍♂️The wild wind of the northwest will always blow to every freedom-loving person. The daytime is as passionate as 40 degrees, and the night is as gentle as jade 20 degrees, this is the Tengger Desert. 🌟The endless desert is endless. 🧚🏼Away from the city, find the most free self. 👍Here, there is no trouble, it is really relaxing. 👌Features: Camels, beer, barbecue fireworks 🎆Mountain bike sand sliding 1️⃣Everything in the desert is very complete and sufficient, and you can also bring some food in for barbecue, braised dishes, water, etc. There are usually mineral water, beer and peanuts, melon seeds and the like at the campsite, but they all charge. This place is not as desolate as imagined, and everything you want is available. 2️⃣It is recommended to wear a storm jacket, windproof, it is more appropriate to get up at night to see the stars. You can wear some ethnic style skirts and western cowboy style for taking pictures, they are all super out of the picture. 😄 3️⃣Just bring a pair of slippers, soft sand, you won't want to wear shoes, slippers are the most convenient choice. 🎀 🐭If you are lucky, you can see the small sand rats in the desert. They are super cute, but unfortunately we didn't have time to take pictures and they ran away early. 4️⃣Yellow River Inn Collection 💓💓 Route 66 Stay at the of the Yellow River Inn Collection, The environment, service, and decoration style are all very good, and each room has its own characteristics. The breakfast at the Yellow River Inn Collection is served at the 'Guest' and 'Old Wang Ji Breakfast Shop', which are all buffet style and different, and I love Old Wang Ji more! 🎉Checked in the coffee of the "Zhongwei" logo Daler Wild, the park is designed by a designer, each homestay is different, the boss will have differences after contracting the interior decoration, but the style outside the park is consistent and very healing! 🚗I chartered a car to that day. It is recommended to go to to play the project first, and then go to Route 66, but Shapotou is really hot! When I went there, it was summer vacation, the sun was scorching, so I was very Buddhist, because I had seen the Tengger Desert and experienced the desert project, so I didn't go to Shapotou. I went to Route 66 at 3 o'clock, standing on the hills on both sides, I saw the entire Danxia landform. I returned to the Yellow River Inn Collection at night, and I could sit in the small courtyard, make a pot of canned tea, and look at the stars all over the sky, feeling like a paradise! 5️⃣Yirong Yun Hotel The next day we returned to the city and checked into a hotel in the city center. The parking lot was very large and spacious, parking was very convenient, and the security uncle was very good, helping us with our luggage, and the front desk lady enthusiastically helped us check in. The bathroom in the room is dry and wet separated, and the bedding is also very clean. After putting away the luggage, we are going out for dinner. 💗💗The overall journey is very happy, although the body is a bit tired but the soul is unprecedentedly relaxed! Sisters come to the northwest! If you come, you will regret it for a week, if you don't come, you will regret it for a lifetime!!

Yuanbai and Feilianji are of the same origin, integrating art and natural lifestyle into the countryside and blending the symbolic elements of local history and culture. The space design tends to be natural and warm, with the main color extracted from the local unique red sandstone, wheelbarrows, cowhide lamps, pottery jars and earthenware jars, etc. Yuanbai Zhongwei, which restores the leisurely and rich flavor of ancient residences, consists of three buildings.

Nestled in the heart of Ningxia, Zhongwei is a hidden gem of a destination that offers travelers a unique blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and modern comforts. During my recent trip to this area, I was fortunate enough to stay at the Lost Villa, a stunning boutique hotel that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Zhongwei. One of the highlights of my trip was the desert safari adventure, which took us deep into the mesmerizing sand dunes of the Tengger Desert. Riding a camel, I felt like a true explorer, and the views of the vast landscape were breathtaking. The hotel arranged the tour for us, which was a seamless experience. Back at the Lost Villa, I was impressed by the beautiful architecture and attention to detail. The hotel blends traditional Chinese elements with modern design to create a unique and welcoming atmosphere. The food at the hotel was also exceptional, with a range of local and international dishes that were expertly prepared. One of the best things about staying at the Lost Villa was the proximity to the historic city center of Zhongwei. We visited the ancient Ming dynasty city wall and the local market, where we experienced the vibrant local culture and sampled some of the delicious street food. Overall, my trip to Zhongwei and stay at the Lost Villa was an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this destination to anyone looking for a unique and enriching travel experience in China. Location: The Lost Villa is located in Zhongwei, a city in the Ningxia region of China. Price per room: The price per room varies depending on the season and room type.

Alternatively, flights are available from Shanghai to Zhongwei Xiangshan Airport, which is around a 45-minute drive from the hotel. Rating: 9/10

For the brothers of "Hot Life", I made a special trip to Ningxia... When you come to Ningxia, you must go to Shapotou. In addition to being a national desert ecological nature reserve, this place is also an international sand sliding center. The winter sun is very warm... The fine sand in Shapotou is very hot🤣 Camel riding and sand boarding are must-do activities when visiting Shapotou. You should ride a camel early because there is an age limit... #Shapotou #Tengger Desert #Hot Life #Ningxia #Tourist Attractions #National 5a-level Tourist Area #Camel

Took a trip out of the city to see China's northwest! Great way to spend the New Year holiday. Recommendations: 1. Desert Star Hotel (沙漠星星) it's about two hours from Yinchuan airport by high-speed rail and then taxi. Great sunrise views over the sand dunes! 2. Xipo Hostel in Shapotou. It has a very old west Americana vibe with an awesome little community. Also you can see parts of the old Great Wall 3. Route 66 … a 1km stretch of road that is very "instagrammable".
