GGanletingsimayi23 Degrees Desert B&B – A hidden gem in the Kubuqi Desert, worth visiting countless times! To be precise, it's called 'Nansha Tourist Resort'.
This time, I stayed in a yurt compound, and as soon as I entered, I was amazed by the fruit trees in the courtyard. There was an apricot tree right outside our room, and in the morning, when I opened the door, the sunlight cast the tree's shadow on the mud wall. That quiet and gentle scene still feels so healing when I recall it. It was only a little over 200 yuan a night during the May Day holiday, and although the room facilities were simple, the value for money was truly exceptional.
The biggest surprise was the Moshang Horse Ranch next door! It was my first time riding a horse in the desert. The instructor saw I was nervous and thoughtfully held the reins for me the entire time. At first, when my feet left the ground, I was both scared and excited. My butt hurt from the bumpy fast walk, but when we started galloping, I slowly found my rhythm. The wind whistled past my ears, and the sunset gradually sank beyond the sand dunes. At that moment, I felt: life is truly worth living!
The instructors were not only professional but also very witty, creating a fantastic atmosphere. Everyone at the B&B was super enthusiastic. There's a paid pick-up service from the station to the B&B, which is inexpensive and surprisingly uses a luxury van. Plus, someone specifically picks up and drops off for each activity, so you don't have to worry about a thing.
Behind the B&B, there's also a private desert area owned by the boss, undisturbed by tourists! You can freely use the sandboards right outside the restaurant. The restaurant's pork spine, yogurt cake, and yellow tomato beef brisket are all delicious. The ATV off-road vehicle prices are also very reasonable; I recommend spending at least half a day tearing around there. Besides horses, there are also camels, sheep, and cats! While eating, I saw many people driving their own cars with their dogs, and in the morning, I even saw foreigners heading back. It's an undiscovered gem that hasn't gone viral yet!
Natural scenery and an immersive experience – this trip had it all. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to visit the desert and avoid crowds.
