In the endless sea of sand in Tengger, the tent settlements perfectly replicate the poetic habitat of the camel caravans on the Silk Road. The B&B housekeeper is very enthusiastic and the service is very thoughtful. The room facilities are also complete and clean. When night falls, a giant bonfire is lit and children hold sparklers to draw trails of light under the starry sky. The breakfast is also rich and tastes great. In Tengri, I encountered the wildest nature and touched the warmest human lights.

As you step into the room, the exquisite decoration forms a wonderful contrast with the sea of sand outside the window. Lying on the bed, you can enjoy the sunrise and sunset in the desert through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The food is even more amazing, and the local specialties are delicious.
The service is thoughtful and the staff are enthusiastic. Here, I experienced the unique romance and tranquility of the desert. My dears, just go for it!

This self-guided desert tour is absolutely amazing! The desert scenery is majestic and magnificent, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the golden sand dunes, as beautiful as a painting. The campsite facilities are complete and the staff are warm and caring. The food is diverse, the roasted whole lamb is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma is overflowing. Camel riding, sand boarding and other activities are super exciting. Moreover, the self-guided itinerary is free and allows you to deeply experience the charm of the desert. Highly recommended, looking forward to coming again next time!

Must praise the service of this hotel! After booking, you will receive itinerary reminders and a dedicated guide on the day of arrival. The staff will accompany you throughout the tour, help you take photos and arrange camel riding. In the evening, we also delivered special fruit plates and goodnight tea. We responded to any requests immediately and the service was impeccable. I will choose this place again next time!

I was amazed the first time I stayed in a desert tent hotel! The interior of the tent is super spacious, the bedding is clean and soft, and lying inside and looking at the stars at night is extremely romantic! You can also experience sandboarding and camel riding during the day. The hotel staff are very enthusiastic and will thoughtfully prepare sunscreen products and drinks. Take photos outside the tent at sunset and you will get great photos in minutes. I highly recommend it to friends who want to experience the desert style!

This time I stayed at the desert tent hotel, and its facilities were far beyond my expectations! There is a viewing terrace outside the tent, equipped with comfortable lounge chairs, allowing me to enjoy the magnificent scenery of the desert sunrise and sunset. The interior of the tent is no slouch either, and it stays nice and cool even on a scorching desert day. The independent bathroom is separated into wet and dry areas, with a stable supply of hot water and high-quality toiletries. There are also a lot of entertainment facilities, including desert motorcycles, sandboards, etc., which satisfy my pursuit of exciting experiences. What’s even more thoughtful is that the tent is also equipped with an emergency medicine kit and charging equipment, showing care in every detail. Such high-quality facilities gave me an unforgettable desert trip!

帳篷裏面的床品嶄新，佈置很温馨，用品完備，位置安排合理。
衞生、洗浴設備齊全，景區全域通電通網（網速很快）；餐廳的菜品較豐富，娛樂項目可滿足家庭全員出遊，內容健康環保，有趣又有意義。
尤其值得點讚的是管家小超，服務非常體貼周到，人善良又熱情，如果下次再來騰格里我一定還會找他

雨落沙漠，是場盛大的驚喜。燙沙遇冷雨，騰起朦朧沙霧，土腥氣裹着草香漫開來。沙丘線條柔了，細流在溝壑裏閃着光，轉瞬滲入深處。駱駝甩着尾巴，蹄子踏過濕沙，印出淺淺的窩。這短暫的濕潤，讓荒蕪有了詩意，值回所有等待。

本以為沙漠住宿會很艱苦，來了才發現是驚喜！帳篷內空調、充電設備齊全，床鋪舒適，獨立熱水穩定。營地還有超市，三餐供應熱乎飯菜。小超管家超貼心，全程指導遊玩項目。從硬件到服務都超讚，完全打破我對沙漠住宿的想象！
