Choosing the right place for a family trip to Northwest China is so important! Desert hotels + itinerary guide

Finally fulfilled the wish to take the kids to the Northwest desert! I was worried the schedule would be too tight and the kids would be tired, but they were full of energy every day~ Especially the two desert hotels, they are tailor-made for family trips. Sharing with everyone👇

🏜️Desert Hotel Family Experience
The rammed earth buildings in the Tengger Desert look like castles growing out of the desert🏰 The interior wabi-sabi design is very stylish~
✨Must-try with kids: 25-meter swimming pool, camel riding, sand sliding, dune bashing, fun for both adults and children
✨Night activities: The bonfire party is super lively, singing and dancing with the kids is so much fun; the stargazing activity can also teach kids astronomy knowledge
✨Thoughtful design: There are exclusive entertainment projects for children, no need to worry about kids getting bored

💎Desert Diamond Hotel Highlights
The diamond-shaped hotel in the Shapotou Scenic Area feels wonderfully embraced by the desert~
✨Room advantage: Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows with amazing views, you can watch the desert sunrise and sunset lying in bed
✨Food recommendation: Dinner includes seafood and Northwest cuisine, kids love Ningxia lamb chops and eight-treasure tea
✨Scenic feature: The night sky is visible to the naked eye, counting stars with the kids is so romantic
