Family Photo Spots in Xiangshawan

I bet you can't resist this time!
Xiangshawan is a fantastic destination for family trips in the desert, offering unique scenes and angles to capture stunning family photos. Here are some recommendations:

🏄‍♀️Yuesha Island Area
Desert Pool: The pool resembles a blue gem set in the golden desert. Dress your kids in bright swimsuits, like orange or red, and take floating photos in the pool with the desert as the backdrop. You can also use the lounge chairs in the center of the pool for overhead shots to highlight your child's long legs, or use a transparent swim ring to capture the glowing effect of their hair in backlight.
Sand Sculpture Park: Yuesha Island's Sand Sculpture Park features various exquisite sand sculptures. Parents and kids can take photos together in front of the sculptures, using a wide-angle lens to capture the full view and document the joyful moments of creating or admiring the sand art together.

🐫Xiansha Island Area
Camel Caravan: After 5 PM, the sunlight becomes softer, making it the perfect time to ride camels and photograph the silhouettes of the caravan. The dunes, camel shadows, and sunset glow create a cinematic vibe. Parents can ride camels with their kids and ask the camel guide to take photos, or capture the long shadows of the camel caravan for a storytelling effect.
Guolao Theater: Guolao Theater offers exciting acrobatic performances like tightrope walking and globe motorcycle stunts. Use the theater's architecture as a backdrop for photos outside, or capture your child's focused expressions while watching the performances—both are great options.

🪷Lotus Hotel Area
Hotel Exterior: The Lotus Hotel resembles a giant lotus blooming in the desert. Take family portraits outside the hotel with its unique architecture as the backdrop, showcasing the beauty of desert structures.
Observation Deck: The observation deck at the Lotus Hotel offers a panoramic view of the desert. Parents and kids can stand on the deck and take wide-angle photos with the vast desert as the background, documenting this spectacular desert journey.
Inside the Room: Some rooms in the hotel offer views of the expansive desert right outside the window. Inside the room, you can have your child lean against the window or sit together with them by the window, using the desert scenery as the backdrop for warm family lifestyle photos.
