Mid-September, the real situation in Zhongwei. Moms who are planning to take their kids to see the stars during National Day can refer to this.

✔ Don't be obsessed with staying in a star hotel. Usually, you need to book half a month or even a month in advance. If you don't get a room, don't pay extra for it. It's really not necessary! There are many other hotels in the desert that offer the same level of service and experience. For example, Damo Star River is a good choice. It's not as crowded as the Star Hotel and it's a single building. You can take your kids to play in the desert around the room. ✔ The temperature is not as high as it is during the summer vacation, so it's relatively comfortable. You can wear normal autumn clothes and a short-sleeved shirt at noon. However, the temperature difference between morning and evening in Ningxia is relatively large, so be sure to bring a thick coat. ✔ When you go to the desert, be sure to bring a sand mask and sunglasses. Because the wind and sand are really strong, if you don't take precautions, your mouth, nose, and eyes will be full of sand. Also, when you play in the desert, be sure to use a phone case with a chain. Otherwise, if you accidentally drop it in the desert, it will be hard to find. ✔ When you go to Shapotou, choose a package ticket that includes [sheepskin raft + sandboarding + desert surfing car + camel riding + glass bridge], etc. It's more cost-effective. Because the one-way ticket to enter the scenic area is 60 yuan, and you have to pay for everything you play inside. The scenic bus is about 20 yuan. So the package ticket is the most cost-effective! ✔ If it's sunny at noon on the day you go to the desert, you can go in the afternoon. In the morning, take your kids to rest in the hotel and save your energy and stamina for stargazing at night. Usually, you can only see the stars after 10 pm. The best time is between 10 and 12 pm. · 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 The most popular parent-child activities in Zhongwei, Ningxia: 🔸 Take your kids to play in the desert, check in Shapotou - sandboarding, camel riding, desert surfing car, Yellow River speedboat, Yellow River sheepskin raft, Yellow River glass bridge, etc., and experience different projects. 🔸 Stay at the Yellow River Hostel, take your kids to hike to the Great Wall, walk into the spring and summer pastures to experience the northwest rural life, take your kids to milk sheep, collect eggs, and feed lambs; in the evening, take your kids for a hand-in-hand stroll along the Yellow River. 🔸 Visit the Western Xia Tombs, watch a 3D movie to learn about the history of Western Xia; follow the guide to visit the museum and check in the tombs; finally, take your kids to experience one of the four great inventions - movable type printing, and print their own works. ...... ✅ Recommended 5-day parent-child itinerary: D1 Yinchuan D2 Helan Mountain Rock Paintings - Western Xia Tombs - Movable Type Printing - Yinchuan D3 Yinchuan - Manpu Town - Rock Painting - Stargazing Class - Star Hotel/Damo Star River D4 Damo Star River/Star Hotel - Shapotou - Yellow River Hostel D5 Yellow River Hostel - Yinchuan ·
