Zhongwei - Tengol Desert Resort Hotel

A hidden gem desert retreat, the best stay experience of 2025 Tengol|||【Hotel Name: Zhongwei·Tengol Desert Hotel】
Stayed in the Desert View Private Pool King Room

Absolutely blown away by the newly opened Tengol Hotel last year! Endless sand dunes, starry skies, Milky Way, bonfire champagne ceremonies—perfect for a spontaneous getaway~

Surroundings🏜️: Nestled deep in the Zhongwei desert, the hotel offers 360° panoramic sand sea views. A 30-minute drive takes you to the vibrant Zhongwei Night Market, and 40 minutes to the Yellow River Homestay Cluster. Of course, if you prefer staying in, the hotel's entertainment options can keep you busy for days!

【More than just accommodation, it's a desert carnival】
Facilities🏨: Despite being a desert hotel, the sense of ceremony is unmatched! 💪 Gym, 💆‍♀️ Spa, watching the desert Milky Way rise from your bed. Desert dune buggies, public pool, camel rides, stargazing deck, desert cinema, private terrace bonfires, and even a private sandboarding base!

Detail-oriented🪑: The hotel's vintage furniture is sourced worldwide—from the 1950s-60s to the 1970s-80s. Even spa and gym equipment come in desert hues!

Rooms🪔: 20+ buildings with 105 rooms, each offering unobstructed desert views. Premium rooms feature private pools and two-level terraces where you can light your own bonfire, sip champagne, and embrace ultimate desert luxury.
