A guide to explain how to play in Shapotou/Star Hotel (actual test and real shot)

In fact, Ningxia’s overall area is not large, but it has everything including deserts, the Yellow River, and stargazing. It makes sense that it calls itself the hometown of stars. Among them, the most popular one is the Star Hotel in Shapotou Desert (mainly because it is more mature, and the rich can directly choose the Diamond Hotel) How to enjoy Shapotou where this hotel is located? I will explain it in a guide based on my many experiences (recommended stay for 3-4 days): 🏨Day 1: First look at the hotel's internal activities (see the last picture for details) The hotel has a full day of activities, but the ones worth doing are probably desert hiking and desert stargazing. ✅The desert hike is full of ritual, and can be seen as a live science popularization interaction. After the hike, you can make a commemorative photo frame and receive a certificate and medal🏅 (you must be physically fit to participate in this activity, as going up and down the sand dunes is very tiring) ✅The conditions for stargazing in the desert are very good. If the weather is good, you can just attend one of the two sessions. It is still quite shocking. Day 2: It is recommended to go to Shapotou. The scenic area is divided into the desert area and the Yellow River area. Neither of them is big. One in the morning and one in the afternoon will do. The entrance fee is free, but you have to pay for the project yourself (not very cheap). Day 3: You can go to Route 66 to take photos📷, and you can also go to North Long Beach (multiple film and television drama shooting locations, quaint Yellow River villages). It takes about half a day to drive and play (the road conditions are average) Those who love taking photos can also go to Huanghe Suji (North African and Moroccan style). Although the road conditions are really bad, it is very photogenic. Day 4: You can just lie down for a day. If you want to see the Diamond Hotel, you can go to see the necklace in the desert. There are actually many ways to play in Shapotou. There are still many trips that cannot be completed due to weather reasons. You can adjust the itinerary in time according to the daily weather. Okay, that’s all for today’s ramblings. See you at the next {{destination}}!
