Zhongwei No.7 Starry Sky Tent Hotel ★★★★
"Even though it's a tent, it's still very convenient and the kids loved it! The hotel service was excellent. We had trouble finding a taxi in the evening when we were leaving, and the butler even helped us call one. The bonfire show included in the package was great, and we could also buy an activity pass for half price, which was amazing value!"
Impression Tengger Desert Camp ★★★
"The room facilities were comprehensive, and the restaurant food was delicious, especially the lamb hot pot and stir-fries. The evening activities were plentiful, and our dedicated butler was very responsible, always punctual with pick-ups and drop-offs. The desert scenery was absolutely beautiful."
BEIDOU ★★★★
"Overall, it was decent, I guess, considering it's in the desert and conditions are limited, so you can't expect too much. Stepping out, you're literally in the sand, and any small dune is perfect for sandboarding. The restaurant offered good meals for all three sittings, with options for à la carte or hot pot buffet. While the choices weren't extensive, it was fine for a two-day stay; I felt like I'd get tired of the food if I stayed longer. Also, paid desert activities like dune buggy rides and camel riding were more expensive here than at the nearby Tonghu Grassland scenic area. If you plan on doing paid activities, I'd suggest doing them at the scenic area first, then staying in the desert to enjoy free activities like sandboarding, hiking, and stargazing. I highly recommend stargazing; it's beautiful even with the naked eye. Finally, I booked this hotel mainly for the pool and professional astronomical telescope. The desert gets too hot in the afternoon, so besides swimming, you're pretty much stuck in your room with the AC on. There weren't many activities available here, and they said all the activity materials were out of stock. Well... on our first day, the water was too dirty to swim in. They did change the water on the second day, but it took all day, and by evening, the water still hadn't reached knee-level. Our child went in to splash around for a bit and said it was cold. When I touched it, I realized the water was ice-cold, like mountain spring water. We quickly took him back for a hot shower, fearing he'd catch a cold. Then, during stargazing that night, we found out the astronomical telescope was also broken, so we could only stargaze with our naked eyes... I'd just say it was a less-than-perfect desert trip."
Desert Wild Star Lakeview Retreat ★★★
"The mattress was even better than those in regular hotels! The owner was incredibly helpful, and the surroundings were beautiful. The bonfire party in the evening had a fantastic atmosphere. In the mornings, there were study tours and hiking activities, including a desert water retrieval experience. They even had a professional instructor guiding stargazing lectures at night. The sunsets were stunning, and there were so many stars visible at night."
Yudu Lezi Hotel (Zhongwei Drum Tower Xiangyang Pedestrian Street) ★★★★
"Air conditioner during fix so a bit hot at night.location is good."
Shahai Camel Bell Luxury Wilderness ★★★★
"It's a wolf in sheep's clothing! It's not this hotel at all, it's another one, and it's not next to this hotel! I've seen this store before, and it costs less than 500 yuan. I got ripped off! Moreover, the bed sheets and quilt covers were not changed at all. They were still in use even after I fell asleep!"
Royal No.81 Hotel ★★★
"The hotel is great, modern, and the restaurant is clean and luxurious. Everything is perfect. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting China. It's ideal for relaxation and various activities. 👍 The price is also reasonable."
Mingdi Jiushe ★★★
Zhongwei Shariwa Desert B&B ★★★★
"You absolutely have to visit Tengger Desert at least once, stay at Shaliwa, and sleep under a sky full of stars 🌌. Say goodbye to city light pollution; this is a hidden gem where you can truly see the Milky Way with the naked eye. The hotel provides dedicated off-road vehicles for transfer deep into the desert. Driving through the dunes sets an incredible atmosphere. The space capsule-style buildings are stunning, and when the light strips illuminate at night, they blend perfectly with the desert, making for amazing photos. We booked a panoramic stargazing room, where an entire glass wall frames the vast sand sea. In the evening, you can lie on the bed and watch the orange sunset sink into the dunes. Later at night, open the electric skylight, and a blanket of stars appears overhead, making even your breathing quiet and serene. Initially, I was worried about the desert accommodation conditions, but it turns out my concerns were completely unfounded. There's 24-hour hot water, powerful air conditioning, stable Wi-Fi, and a separate wet and dry bathroom – everything you need. The hygiene is meticulously maintained, and the sleeping experience is on par with city hotels. You absolutely must join the hotel's free stargazing activity! The leader will guide you with star charts and laser pointers, explaining the locations of the Big Dipper and the Milky Way. They also patiently help every guest take stunning astrophotography, so even beginners can capture beautiful desert star photos. During the day, you can enjoy sandboarding, camel riding, and desert surfing. In the evening, have a candlelight dinner by the lake, and at night, watch bonfires and fireworks. The entire day's itinerary is relaxed yet fulfilling. The staff were attentive and thoughtful throughout our stay, responding quickly to any requests. The warm hospitality of the Northwest truly enhanced the experience. If you're planning an overnight stay in the Zhongwei desert, Shaliwa is definitely a choice that offers both great value and romance. It's already on my list for a second visit ✨."

Moxigo Desert Camp
"A very good camping experience, OK"
Shazhichuan Camp Hotel
"Very satisfied with our stay here with the kids! The room was clean, the bedding was comfortable, and the environment was quiet. The service was friendly, and it was convenient to get around. We had a peaceful and pleasant stay. Highly recommend for families~"
Gui Sha Ji | Where Sunsets Are Savored • A Desert Sanctuary
"This hotel is brand new and incredibly comfortable. It feels like such a luxury to find such a cozy place in the desert. The value for money is exceptional, and the owner's service is top-notch; they were practically at my beck and call. The experience was fantastic! There were free drinks in the mini-fridge, and in the afternoon, they even delivered half a chilled, super-sweet and delicious watermelon to my room!"
Xingxing Lodge Collection Tengol · Shayu Stargazing Luxury Scenic Campsite
"The hotel happens to be in the Tengger Desert, deeply experiencing the desert landscape, the customer service staff of Moon Sister is also super good, combined with the needs of the stay, recommend the appropriate room type, deeply feel the desert camping. The hotel is also very close to the desert experience area. You can drive by yourself on camels, desert motorcycles and go-karts. The overall feeling is still very good and highly recommended. There is a bonfire party in the evening, and the experience is great."
KAIHUI BOER Hotel
"During the May Day holiday, the experience of staying at Kaihui Park Hotel in Zhongwei was completely maximized! From the warm reception service at the front desk to the clean and tidy environment in the guest room, especially the service work, it makes people feel that there are surprises everywhere. The waiter not only took the initiative to help with the luggage, but also provided his own travel recommendations and food recommendations. With these, traveling is worry-free and time-saving. The atmosphere of the stay is warm and feels like home! The service is meticulous and warm, and must be given five stars!"
Desert Star Hotel
"I have to say, the scenery is absolutely beautiful! Our room was at the very end, so there was no busy corridor outside the door. We stepped right out onto open sand dunes. It was quiet and clean, and the kids could dig in the sand and watch the sunset nearby. We didn't have to fight crowds at popular photo spots, and the pictures turned out stunning. It took about 8-12 minutes to walk to the main building's restaurant, pool, observatory, and stargazing class. Although the hotel golf carts are supposed to be on-call, during peak hours, you often have to wait for one. Relying on the shuttle for meals during the day and activities at night is necessary, as walking is quite tiring, especially with the hot weather and strong sun – that part wasn't great!"
Hampton by Hilton Zhongwei Shapotou
"Massive room, clean, and comfortable"
TengolHotel
"Stayed for two nights, five stars all around, very satisfied. Even when it's hot outside, it's comfortable indoors. The sofa bed in the courtyard room is huge; perfect for a family of four, with the adults each getting a bed and the two kids sharing the sofa bed. The only downside is that the surfing cart is too expensive at 120 (RMB); I think 80 would be a more reasonable price. The art museum next door is closed on Mondays, but the front desk didn't inform us, so we went all excited only to find it shut. You can take a taxi to Wanda Plaza in Zhongwei City to try the hand-grabbed lamb, it's really good."
Sand Star Tengger Desert Stargazing Hotel
"Five-star review! The owner and staff were warm, attentive, and friendly. The evening bonfire party and iron-flower performance were fantastic, creating a wonderful atmosphere. The biggest surprise was the family desert study tour organized by the village chief, where children caught lizards, learned how to fetch water in the desert, and received an immersive natural science education. The kids learned a lot and had a great time. It's perfect for bringing children to experience the desert!"
Zhong Wei Soul Resort Hotel
LOSTVILLA(Zhongwei Yellow River Dormitory)
"Staying at Dalezhiye in Zhongwei's Yellow River宿集 (Suji) was a healing experience, thanks to its wabi-sabi inspired rammed earth courtyard. In spring, pear blossoms spill over the mud walls, and light and shadow dance across the gravel courtyard, creating a relaxed wabi-sabi aesthetic both indoors and out. Thoughtful details are hidden everywhere, making every spot picture-perfect. It’s a secluded utopia where you can slow down and embrace nature. 💡 Practical tips for your stay: • **Best photo times**: 9-11 AM and 3-5 PM. The soft lighting is perfect for stunning photos. • **Outfit suggestions**: Light-colored or earthy tones will perfectly complement the rammed earth walls and pear blossom backdrop. • **Recommended photo spots**: The pear tree in the courtyard, by the indoor window, the outdoor swing, and the rattan-covered walkway."
Shapotou No.66 Desert Camping hotel
"The owner was very friendly and explained everything clearly. Even though it was a busy Labor Day holiday and hectic, he took great care of me. Thank you for being so considerate as a foreigner! It was a truly wonderful experience to be able to stay at a place like this in the desert. Because of the sandstorms, sand inevitably gets into the room. There was a lot of hair on the floor when I first checked in. Despite that, the bed was clean, and using disposable towels was a good idea. The food served for dinner was also delicious 😋 My child had a great time playing in the sand and sledding, and the night sky was full of stars and the sunrise was wonderful."
Zhongwei Shapotou District Shengjin Nianhua Hotel (Gulou East Street)
"Come to Zhongwei Shapotou to play, stay at Shengjinnianhua Hotel experience exceeded expectations. The rooms are clean and spacious, the bedding is soft and comfortable, and the rest is very good. The hotel is a combination of eating, lodging and playing, with bathing and steaming, buffet restaurant, cinema and children's playground, especially worry-free travel with children. The staff is warm and the check-in is efficient. The location is convenient for travel, parking is convenient, and it is very suitable to play Shapotou. Going back to the hotel for a day to take a bath and relax, one-stop leisure, very cost-effective, highly recommended for Zhongwei tourism."
Zhongwei Valley Rain Jasmine Hotel (Gulou Xiangyang Pedestrian Street)
"I genuinely recommend this downtown hotel. The location is superb, making it easy to get anywhere. The room amenities are a huge plus 🌻 – not only complete but also very new, showing they're well-maintained. The room was clean with no strange odors, and the space was larger than I expected. Both the mattress and pillows were very comfortable, and the hot water supply was stable. 🌻 The lighting was soft, creating a warm and relaxing atmosphere overall. I felt really relaxed after my stay, and I will definitely be booking again."
Zhongwei An Hotel (Gulou West Street)
"The hotel is in a good location, not far from the city and Zhongwei South Station. The room is quite spacious, and what's really great is that the twin room actually has two 1.5-meter beds. It's really comfortable to live with a baby. It has laundry facilities, which is convenient for washing clothes after going to Shapotou and being covered in sand. You have to wait for a while during the breakfast rush hour, but overall it's good. The parking lot at the entrance is huge."
Miding Xingfan Camping
"The children really like this desert trip. They don’t have to go to the scenic spot. You can have a good time directly at the hotel, especially the unlimited sandboarding, desert hiking, and bonfire party, fireworks. The boss is too enthusiastic. I help with luggage back and forth. Watermelon has been sent. We are all embarrassed. I have recommended that sisters bring their children to play"
