Must-Visit During National Day|First Encounter with the Desert, a Stunning Journey to Xiangshawan That Lasts a Thousand Years at a Glance

Who understands the shock of seeing the desert! 🌪️
As a child who had never seen a desert, I was completely amazed the first time I saw Xiangshawan! Before my eyes was an endless golden sea of sand, sculpted by millennia of wind and sand. In the face of time and nature, I deeply felt the insignificance of humanity...

📍 Xiangshawan 5A Scenic Area Guide
Address: Xiangshawan Tourist Scenic Area, Dalate Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia
⏰ Opening Hours: Year-round 8:40 AM - 5:30 PM
🎫 Basic Ticket: 120 RMB
As a well-developed 5A scenic area, eating, drinking, and entertainment are all worry-free, and prices inside are not expensive! The scenic area is divided into several "islands" by function. Come check out my on-site experience👇

🏖️ Yuesha Island|A Water Miracle in the Desert
This is an absolutely unmissable photo spot! 📸
Not only is there a stunning desert infinity pool, but you can also shoot high-quality wasteland-style photos~ Remember to bring your swimsuit! The scenic area has super clean changing rooms. The "Ordos Wedding" performance is also highly recommended! Tickets are 180 RMB, definitely worth the price~

🎢 Xiansha Island|Desert Adventure Park
If you want thrilling activities, this is the place! 🔥
Camel riding, desert off-roading, zip-lining, and more are all here~ I recommend the Bigfoot Monster (80 RMB), known as the "desert roller coaster," the adrenaline rush is incredibly exciting! Buying a one-day tour also includes an 8-minute camel ride for free, fun and free!

🏨 Liansha Island/Fusha Island
This is the high-end resort area, with luxury accommodations like Lotus Hotel here~ I heard it’s a light luxury experience costing 3,000-4,000 RMB per night!

💰 My Expense Sharing
Group tour: Hohhot one-day tour 150 RMB
Yuesha Island ticket: 180 RMB
Sand sliding: 20 RMB (the origin of Xiangshawan’s name, you can really hear the sand "sing" when sliding!)
Camel riding: 0 RMB (included in the group tour)
Bigfoot Monster: 80 RMB (a must-try!)
