Traveling to Dunhuang, you've visited the Mogao Caves, seen Crescent Lake, ridden camels, and slid down the sand dunes... Do you still want to spend a night in the desert? Gazing at the starry sky with family or friends while sharing your heartfelt thoughts? Dunhuang's desert hotels are becoming increasingly popular, especially during the peak summer season, so you need to book in advance. So, is it worth staying in a desert tent? After reading this note, you'll have the answer! 📍Location: Gansu, Dunhuang 💰Average cost per person: RMB 1000-2000 per room per night 🌟Sharing the pros and cons of desert tents: 👍Recommended reasons (pros): The geographical environment makes it rare and valuable. There are indeed not many places in the country where you can stay in the desert. Having a unique accommodation and experience is also a special gain during the trip. The starry sky at night in the desert is truly beautiful, especially in the latter half of the night when the stars are dazzling, giving a feeling of being within reach. It is particularly suitable for family trips or team-building organizations. Usually, the accommodation fee includes free desert motorcross (limited to once per person), free sandboarding, and a bonfire party. You can pose for various photos in the desert without worrying about crowds photobombing. 👎Not recommended reasons (cons): Although it is called a 'desert hotel,' it is more accurately described as a 'desert farmhouse.' There are only shared bathrooms and showers (showers are charged separately). If the tent is far from the bathroom, it can be inconvenient. It is not suitable for the elderly or visitors with mobility issues. Poor sound insulation, which is a common issue with all tents. The tent gets extremely hot during the day, so the check-in and check-out times are different from regular hotel rooms. (Even if the desert hotel allows early check-in and late check-out, the desert temperature will likely make guests leave voluntarily). Although it is called a 'desert tent hotel,' you might expect the tents to be set up in the desert like those in the Sahara (where you enter the desert from the camp by off-road vehicle or camel), but in reality, the tents are set up on the edge of the desert. To be precise, they are 'set up on the edge of the sand dunes,' so the desert stay experience may vary greatly from person to person. Having shared the pros and cons of Dunhuang desert tent hotels, you can choose according to your needs! 😃 Dunhuang is really beautiful and special, worth a visit! As for me and my family, we will definitely come again. See you next time, Dunhuang!
