Tenggeli Desert

Zhongwei Shapotou.【Opening】: For playing with sand, choose Shapotou Tourist Area·Zhongwei, with its high-altitude sand sliding, zip-lining over the Yellow River, and camel riding in the desert. Every trip to the desert feels surreal, with no one around, endless expanses, and the wind whipping up a sky full of sand, making you feel small but your heart grow larger. Perhaps this is the charm of desert travel. 【Lazy Route】: After entering the scenic area, first take the sightseeing bus, then play on the zip line over the Yellow River back and forth, and finally take the cable car to the top of Shapotou for a grand panorama. It's recommended to first take the sightseeing bus to see the desert, ride camels, and drive off-road vehicles. When returning to Shapotou, you can slide down the sand and take a sheepskin raft down the Yellow River back to the entrance of the scenic area. 【Recommended Projects】: 1. Yellow River Zip Line Very thrilling, the heavier you are, the faster you slide. Flying over the Yellow River still feels vast. The round trip has different elevations, and it looks dangerous but is actually very safe. 2. Hundred Meter Sand Slide Probably one of the steepest sand slides I've seen in China, even more fun than those in Dunhuang. It always feels like it's going to flip, but it seems it never does, which is quite amazing. 3. Camel Riding Got on a camel just before it was time for them to go home for dinner. The camels seemed eager to get home, moving quite fast haha, the up and down bumps were so comfortable I almost fell asleep. 4. Sheepskin Raft An ancient water transport on the western Yellow River, you can directly experience the ups and downs of the river's current. I've also taken one in Lanzhou before, it feels very historical. 【Accommodation Strategy】: We chose the Zhongwei Desert Longmen Inn, with a standard room for one night at 686 yuan. The hotel staff were very responsible, the breakfast was surprisingly good, the public restrooms were also very clean, not crowded at all, and the value for money was high. 【Travel Strategy】: 1. Location: Shapotou Tourist Area·Zhongwei Parking Lot; 2. Transportation: Self-driving is convenient, but be careful on the highway as there are many trucks; there are also trains to Zhongwei Shapotou which are quite convenient; 3. Tickets: It is recommended to buy the 399 yuan package ticket, which is more cost-effective and includes all the projects; 4. Time: You can play for a day, sand sliding projects require queuing, so it's advised to come early in the morning; 5. Food: We ate at the service area on our self-drive trip, and there are simple meals and snacks in the scenic area; 6. Toilets: Very convenient in the scenic area. 【tips】: 1. It's very sunny, so apply plenty of sunscreen, and don't forget cool sunglasses and a hat; 2. Bringing holey sandals was a wise choice, no need to shake out the sand; 3. Always keep hydrated and replenish energy; 4. Listen to the guides for the activities, playing around on your own could be dangerous.

The daytime is as passionate as 40 degrees, and the night is as gentle as jade 20 degrees, this is the Tengger Desert. 🌟The endless desert is endless. 🧚🏼Away from the city, find the most free self. 👍Here, there is no trouble, it is really relaxing. 👌Features: Camels, beer, barbecue fireworks 🎆Mountain bike sand sliding 1️⃣Everything in the desert is very complete and sufficient, and you can also bring some food in for barbecue, braised dishes, water, etc. There are usually mineral water, beer and peanuts, melon seeds and the like at the campsite, but they all charge. This place is not as desolate as imagined, and everything you want is available. 2️⃣It is recommended to wear a storm jacket, windproof, it is more appropriate to get up at night to see the stars.

The breakfast at the Yellow River Inn Collection is served at the 'Guest' and 'Old Wang Ji Breakfast Shop', which are all buffet style and different, and I love Old Wang Ji more! 🎉Checked in the coffee of the "Zhongwei" logo Daler Wild, the park is designed by a designer, each homestay is different, the boss will have differences after contracting the interior decoration, but the style outside the park is consistent and very healing! 🚗I chartered a car to that day. It is recommended to go to to play the project first, and then go to Route 66, but Shapotou is really hot! When I went there, it was summer vacation, the sun was scorching, so I was very Buddhist, because I had seen the Tengger Desert and experienced the desert project, so I didn't go to Shapotou. I went to Route 66 at 3 o'clock, standing on the hills on both sides, I saw the entire Danxia landform. I returned to the Yellow River Inn Collection at night, and I could sit in the small courtyard, make a pot of canned tea, and look at the stars all over the sky, feeling like a paradise! 5️⃣Yirong Yun Hotel The next day we returned to the city and checked into a hotel in the city center. The parking lot was very large and spacious, parking was very convenient, and the security uncle was very good, helping us with our luggage, and the front desk lady enthusiastically helped us check in. The bathroom in the room is dry and wet separated, and the bedding is also very clean.

Sisters come to the northwest! If you come, you will regret it for a week, if you don't come, you will regret it for a lifetime!!

Shapotou's maximum age limit for camel riding is 65 years old. The tour starts from the entrance of the Yellow River Ferry Scenic Area. The whole journey takes 5 hours, entering from the Yellow River Ferry, first playing with water and then with sand, for a very comprehensive experience. From the roaring and rushing Yellow River all the way from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to Zhongwei, Ningxia, it suddenly makes a gorgeous 290-degree turn, becoming wide and gentle. The silt carried along settles here, giving birth to a vibrant oasis. In the past, Shapotou was known for its achievements in sand control. The Baolan Railway crosses the desert six times within the territory of Zhongwei, among which Shapotou has the steepest slope and the most fierce sandstorms. To ensure the smooth flow of the railway and prevent the tracks from being buried by sand, a windbreak and sand fixation project was started on both sides of the railway since the 1950s. This project was successful, and the huge net-like grass squares on both sides of the railway are filled with sand plants, turning the golden sand sea into green waves, keeping the desert section of the Baolan Railway safe for decades. Highlight worth mentioning: Desert Sky Ladder The Desert Sky Ladder is so cool The Desert Sky Ladder is China's first desert escalator, located on the west side of the hang gliding project, with a total length of about 160 meters and three elevators. Each elevator has a lifting height of 20 meters, with a total lifting height of up to 72 meters, a total investment of 12 million yuan, a passenger capacity of 9,000 people per hour, and a single trip takes about five minutes, which can go from Shapotou to the Tengger Desert. Take three consecutive sections straight to the depths of the Tengger Desert, cool!
