[2025 Zhongwei Attraction] Travel Guide for Tenggeli Desert (Updated Jun)

🚗 Life is short, if you have seen mountains and rivers, lakes and seas, then try to go to the desert once, see the golden sand sea, the huge camel group, and the rare oasis, it will make your heart stay~ Feel comfortable 👭 🏃‍♂️The wild wind of the northwest will always blow to every freedom-loving person. 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. You can wear some ethnic style skirts and western cowboy style for taking pictures, they are all super out of the picture. 😄 3️⃣Just bring a pair of slippers, soft sand, you won't want to wear shoes, slippers are the most convenient choice. 🎀 🐭If you are lucky, you can see the small sand rats in the desert. They are super cute, but unfortunately we didn't have time to take pictures and they ran away early. 4️⃣Yellow River Inn Collection 💓💓 Route 66 Stay at the of the Yellow River Inn Collection, The environment, service, and decoration style are all very good, and each room has its own characteristics. 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. After putting away the luggage, we are going out for dinner. 💗💗The overall journey is very happy, although the body is a bit tired but the soul is unprecedentedly relaxed! 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!!

In the distant Gansu, the most impressive impression is the slightly deserted Gobi Desert in the northwest. Although, I can't say exactly what the Gobi Desert and the Gobi Desert really look like. Just came to Gansu to start from Lanzhou, and showed me a colorful Gansu, because Gansu's geographical span is large, it is actually richer than I expected. This trip will not go too far into the conventional scenic spot, another kind goes deep into Gansu, but today there is still a chance to have a quick contact with the Tengger Desert.

👍Just came back from the Five Lakes Crossing, it was so exciting! I would like to call it the "Must-Experiences in Life You Won't Regret" series! - ⚠️Must read before departure 1️⃣ Although the Tengger Desert area that the Five Lakes cross is in the southwest of Alxa Left Banner, Inner Mongolia, it is closer to Yinchuan and Zhongwei, and the distance by car is about 2.5 hours. 2️⃣ The Five Lakes Crossing, as the name suggests, is a cross-country trip in the desert with five lakes as the destination. 3️⃣ Because of the high professional requirements, it can only be driven by professionals. There are often no signals in the desert. You must be led by a master who is familiar with the road conditions. Never try it on your own. 4️⃣ Choose an experienced driver❗️The desert road conditions are dangerous and there are many slopes. Lack of experience and unfamiliarity with the road conditions can easily lead to life safety issues‼ ️ 5️⃣ From what I have consulted online before, the current prices range from ¥7,800 to ¥1600, ¥1800. There are many tricks here🙅🏻‍♀️Don't be greedy for cheapness. You must ask clearly what the fee includes, whether you will change cars midway, etc. You get what you pay for❗️ - 🌊 Lake Sharing 1️⃣ Swan Lake: A combination of desert, grassland and lake. Many swans live here from late March to early April and in September and October every year. 2️⃣ Wulan Lake: A lake that you must choose! Because it is a salt lake, the lake water is red. Aerial photography looks like a part of a heart. The water in the lake area where people can go is very shallow. It is recommended to wear slippers here so that you can step directly into it. 3️⃣ Camel Lake: A pink lake in the Tengger Desert, named after its camel-like shape in aerial photography 4️⃣ Unnamed Lake: This is an unexpected discovery when we used the plane to explore the surrounding area. The grassland on the left side of Camel Lake looks like two green gems in the aerial photo. It is very beautiful. 5️⃣ Hailiuqi Lake: This lake is a bit similar to Swan Lake. Many herdsmen in the desert will graze here. It is suitable for standing on the sand dunes and overlooking 6️⃣ Guitar Lake: It is named because it is shaped like a guitar and appears yellow or orange due to the rich sulfur bacteria. 7️⃣ Longyan Emerald Lake: The others are natural lakes, but this one is a man-made lake. From an aerial view, it looks like a green eye. - ⚠️The color of the lake has a lot to do with the season and weather. Taking pictures on cloudy days is not as good as taking pictures on sunny days. Try to go when the weather is clear, as the colors are the most colorful! - 🚗Transportation method 1️⃣ Charter a car, round trip from Yinchuan/Zhongwei, the driver can pick up at your hotel, the total crossing time is about 3 hours. 2️⃣ You can drive to the entrance of the desert and then take a professional off-road vehicle to the desert, which will be slightly cheaper 3️⃣ Generally, you can rent a car or share a car. It is recommended to rent a car or share a car with 2-3 people for the most comfort, because the bumpy feeling and weightlessness during the crossing are very strong. If there are 3 people sitting in the back seat, the one in the middle will be very uncomfortable. 🤔How to choose the five lakes 1️⃣ Although there are more than 400 lakes in the Tengger Desert, there are only a few mature routes that have been developed, so there are not many choices. 2️⃣ Choose lakes of different types, colors, and shapes to avoid homogeneity 3️⃣ Arrange according to the situation on the way. If you want to go to a place that is not on the way, it will involve additional costs and take more time 4️⃣ Choose according to the road conditions. For example, the road to Emerald Longyan Lake (artificial lake) is very bumpy and the thrilling degree is doubled. 5️⃣ There are too many words about the lake, so I made it into pictures and put them at the end. Please remember to take a look. ❤️Tips: ✔️You need to bring your own dry food for lunch. The driver will usually prepare water. If you are prone to motion sickness, you should also prepare motion sickness medicine, plastic bags, etc. ✔️Get your drone ready so you can see the different colors of each lake from a bird’s eye view and aerial portraits are more interesting. Although the drivers have drone value-added services, they don’t take pictures of every lake. They usually only take pictures of Wulan Lake. 🏠Hotel recommendation: We originally planned to stay in a hotel in the city, but then we thought about camping in the desert, so we finally decided on the Zhongwei Pika Rabbit Family B&B. The hotel is right in the heart of the desert, so we can play in the sand as soon as we go out and slide as much as we want. It is very exciting. The recreational activities are all near the hotel, which is very convenient. I have never seen a desert in my life, so this time my dream came true and it added another layer of filter to this trip. The hotel we stayed in had breakfast and dinner, breakfast was included, and dinner could be eaten at the hotel.

We chose to stay at the "Dragon Gate Inn" on the edge of the Tengger Desert, where stepping out the door leads directly to the endless sand dunes. As night falls, the Milky Way becomes clearly visible, seemingly within reach. The white tents, illuminated by intertwining lights, resemble shooting stars fallen into the desert, creating a sci-fi-like scene perfect for capturing stunning photos. * **Bonfire Party**: Gathered around a bonfire, we danced joyfully with people from all walks of life, accompanied by the melodious sounds of the Morin Khuur (horse-head fiddle).
