Paying a high price to stay in the desert in Zhongwei? Here it's only 300!

🌟Who says you have to spend a fortune to stay at a trendy hotel when playing in the desert? This guide teaches you how to unlock the same joy at 1/10 the price～

【For High-End Travelers】✨
📍Zhongwei Desert Star Hotel
A stunning glass house hidden in the Shapotou Scenic Area, where you can watch the Milky Way 🌌 while lying in bed. During the day, enjoy sandboarding and camel riding 🐫; at night, join stargazing lectures for a full dose of romance! Summer room rates are indeed steep (4000+/night), so booking 3 months in advance is recommended.

【For Budget Travelers】💰
📍Tengger Desert Camp
The desert camp in Alxa Left Banner is the real hidden gem! For just 200 per person, you can stay in Moroccan-style tents, or 300 for lakeside cottages with air conditioning, and still experience:
✔️ Desert off-road vehicle surfing (super thrilling!)
✔️ Night bonfire parties + starry sky photography 🎇
✔️ Stunning desert views at sunrise and sunset
By the way, most camps offer free sandboards, so kids can play endlessly—truly a perfect way to entertain children!
P.S.: It's about 50 yuan by taxi from Zhongwei city center, and you can use Didi.

💡Treasure tips:
▫️ For desert sunsets, you can climb up around 8 p.m. to watch the sunset
▫️ The temperature isn’t high but the sun is strong, so sun protection is very important
▫️ Remember to bring sunglasses and a sandproof face scarf
