Desert Mirage · Moroccan Adventure | Stay in the Lakeside Tents of "New Dragon Gate Inn"🏜️ "A lone smoke rises straight in the vast desert, the sun sinks round in the long river's glow"—At the edge of Tengger Desert in Zhongwei, Ningxia, lies a real-life "Dragon Gate Inn." Here, there are no sword fights, only endless sand dunes, crystal-clear lake views, and pure white Moroccan-style tents. Every shot you take feels like a cinematic masterpiece! Photography Paradise: The Duet of Desert and Lake 1. Moroccan Lakeside Tent — Reflections of the Sky The white dome tents are built by the lake, with the water mirroring the curves of the dunes and tent silhouettes. **Best shot at sunrise or sunset**: golden light spills over the lake, with tents dotting the scene, creating an exotic mirage reminiscent of Marrakech. At night, warm tent lights glow under the starry sky, resembling desert fireflies in long-exposure shots. Styling Tips: Bright-colored maxi dresses (white/red work best) + woven wide-brimmed hats. When the wind blows, the dress and sheer curtains dance together, amplifying the vibe! 2. Desert Summit · Silhouette Art Climb to the highest dune near the inn and capture silhouettes against the rolling sand waves. Walk barefoot, leaving a trail of footprints stretching into the distance.
