🏰 After a long time, I decided to document my unforgettable trip to Ningxia. The vast, boundless desert and the mighty, surging Yellow River🚧 Here, 🗼 all my fantasies of wild luxury and romance were fulfilled 🛖 📍 Location: Zhongwei, Ningxia 🚗 Transportation Guide: You can first fly to Yinchuan Hedong International Airport, then transfer to a high-speed train or bus to Zhongwei—there are many departures, making it very convenient. For local travel, taxis are affordable, and you can even charter a car to desert attractions, enjoying the scenic views along the way. Most drivers are warm and hospitable, doubling as guides to introduce local customs and culture. 🌄 Must-Visit Attractions: 🗼 Shapotou: Here, the desert and the Yellow River "embrace," presenting the majestic scene described by Wang Wei: "Lone smoke rises straight in the vast desert, the long river sets with the round sun." Sand sliding is thrilling—racing down a 100-meter sand dune with the wind roaring in your ears. Camel rides across the dunes feel like traveling back to the ancient Silk Road. At dusk, the golden dunes turn orange-red under the sunset, creating a perfect backdrop for stunning photos—every frame is a masterpiece. 🗿 Tengger Desert: Camping deep in the desert 🏕️ is an excellent escape from urban noise. At night, lie in your tent and count the stars through the skylight—the Milky Way seems within reach. By day, enjoy sandboarding, dune surfing, hiking, and stumbling upon desert oases where clear springs and lush greenery thrive, completely shattering the stereotype of deserts as barren wastelands. 🗽 Route 66: A road to "freedom," stretching straight into the distance with endless Gobi on both sides. Standing in the middle of the road for photos instantly captures the vibe of the American Wild West. Paired with blue skies, white clouds, and a rugged backdrop, the fashion quotient is maxed out—remember to dress cool! ⚠️ Important Notes: 📶 Signal & Road Conditions: Some sections of the road have no signal (China Unicom and Telecom are weaker, while China Mobile is more stable). The road is narrow and bumpy, so drive carefully. ☁️ Weather: Avoid rainy or snowy days, as sandstorms may reduce visibility. 👙 Outfits: Opt for denim, workwear, or bright-colored maxi dresses, paired with sunglasses and wide-brimmed hats to fully embrace the Wild West aesthetic!

Famous road #66 in the far USA has nothing to suggest in terms of accessibility, convenience and views. Meanwhile this attraction near the Zhongwei is easily reachable within 40 minutes by highway from the nearest city. 1. Arrive in Zhongwei, take lunch and rest a bit. Beware of sand storms, they are very common in this area at the end of the spring and in the beginning of autumn. 2. Be sure that your vehicle can easily drive off-road. Some parts of this road are under construction or not accessible for regular sedans. 3. It's better to arrive in the morning or in the evening. Direct sun rays would make your photos plain, so avoid coming in the midday. 4. I also experienced a nice stay in the tent near the Huanghe river, so some wild camping is also accessible in this area.

• Route: Located in Shapotou District, Zhongwei City, Ningxia, connecting Zhongwei City and North Longtan Ancient Village, with a total length of about 39 kilometers. Exit the expressway at Mengjiawan toll station from Dingwu Expressway, and follow the North Longtan direction onto Mengbei Line to begin your journey. • Features: Traverses rolling valleys along the winding Yellow River, with some sections stretching straight to the horizon, earning it the title of "China's Most Beautiful Route 66." • Best travel time: May to September, when the climate is pleasant, but remember to protect yourself from the sun and stay hydrated. II. Recommended Attractions Along the Way • Route 66 Road Sign: • A classic photo spot. Stand next to the sign with the road and distant mountains as your backdrop to easily capture stunning highway shots. • U-shaped Road: • A highly photogenic location. Shooting upward from the bottom of the U-shape captures the spectacular view of the winding road extending to the horizon; shooting downward from higher ground showcases the unique curves of the road. • Roadside Hills: • Climb the small hills beside the road to capture layered photos with the vast Gobi Desert and Yellow River as background. • Huanghe Juji: • A popular attraction consisting of several distinctive homestays. Both the architecture and environment are unique, perfect for photos and experiencing Ningxia's rural charm. • North Longtan Ancient Village: • The end point of the route, full of primitive charm. Here you can admire ancient residential buildings, experience the authentic lifestyle of people living along the Yellow River, and taste local specialties. III. Recommended Local Cuisine • Hand-pulled Lamb: • Zhongwei specialty, tender meat without any gamey taste. Dip it in garlic vinegar sauce for a truly satisfying bite. • Desert Leek with Scrambled Eggs: • Crisp, tender, and slightly spicy desert leeks stir-fried with eggs - so delicious it'll make your eyebrows raise. • Wormwood Noodles and Flat Bean Noodles: • Chewy and flavorful, every bite captures the essence of northwestern cuisine. • Roadside Snacks: • Options like grilled sausages, spicy noodles, and lamb noodles are perfect for a quick meal on the go.

Accommodation Recommendations • Route 66 Self-driving Campsite: • Offers cabin accommodations in a beautiful environment near the Yellow River and ancient village, suitable for self-driving tourists. Rooms are small but clean with shared bathrooms, adequate for a one-night stay. The campsite is surrounded by date trees and the ancient village, creating a unique atmosphere. • Desert Star Hotel: • Beautiful environment with an excellent experience, perfect for travelers wanting to feel the tranquility and mystery of the desert. Here you can enjoy magnificent desert views and participate in various desert activities. V. Practical Tips • Transportation: • Self-driving is recommended so you can stop anytime to enjoy the scenery, but be mindful of driving safety, especially in mountainous areas and sections along the Yellow River. Some parts of the road have no mobile signal, so remember to download offline maps in advance. • Safety Tips: • Check your vehicle condition before driving and fill up with gas, as gas stations are scarce along this route. • Be careful when taking photos - don't stand in the middle of the road, and make sure to park your vehicle safely on the side. • Photography Tips: • The best times for photography are early morning and sunset when the light is soft. Arrive an hour before sunset to capture beautiful photos using the soft evening light and afterglow. • Various styles like workwear, hippie, or Y2K fashion are perfect for this setting. You can also rent astronaut costumes to create a moonwalk effect. • Other Tips: • Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats as the UV rays are strong in this area. • Respect local customs and protect the environment by not littering. • Toilet facilities are basic portable dry toilets. Consider drinking less water or finding alternatives along the way to avoid waiting in line. Parking spaces are very limited, so you might need to drive far to find a spot. Travel light with minimal luggage.

Zhongwei, Ningxia · Tengger Desert Scenic Area - Dragon Gate Inn! "The desert's lone smoke rises straight, the long river's setting sun is round." Wang Wei's poetic depiction of the frontier fortress comes to life in the Tengger Desert of Zhongwei, Ningxia. This trip felt like stepping onto the set of the movie "New Dragon Gate Inn"—the boundless golden sand sea, the echoing camel bells, the blood-red setting sun—every frame a scene from a hidden martial arts world. 🌵 **Desert Wonders: The Romance and Wildness of the Tengger Desert at Night** The Tengger Desert meets the Yellow River in a miraculous confluence, creating a place that embodies both the vibrancy of a "desert water city" and the gentleness of a "Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall." Standing atop the sand dunes, with fine, golden sand beneath your feet, you'll witness not only the winding Yellow River but also the undulating sand dunes stretching like ocean waves. Every photo you take here is destined to be a social media masterpiece. * **Camel Riding Across the Sand Sea**: With the rhythmic jingle of camel bells, follow the caravan-like camels at a leisurely pace, and you'll feel like a wandering swordsman from a movie, each step a moment of epic proportions. * **Desert Dune Buggy**: A 100% recommended thrill ride! Plunge down the sand dunes with a rush of adrenaline and a feeling of weightlessness comparable to a roller coaster. Experience the ultimate speed and excitement as even the wind and sand become part of the cheering backdrop. * **Ziplining Across the Yellow River**: Soar across the Yellow River from a height of 100 meters, with the rushing river below and the whistling wind in your ears. A must-try for the adventurous! 🌌 **Desert Nights: A Celebration of Stars and Bonfires** The desert truly comes alive at night! 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). Even the wind and sand joined in the festive rhythm. * **Desert Stargazing and Camping**: Lie outside your tent and gaze at the diamond-like stars, with the Big Dipper hanging low in the sky. Even a phone camera can capture the splendor of the Milky Way. Wake up at 4 am to witness a breathtaking sunrise, as the sand dunes are painted in golden red, leaving you speechless with beauty. 🏜️ **Exploring Hidden Gems: The "Martial Arts World" Within the Desert** * **Highway 66**: A filming location for Chinese "Western" movies, this straight road stretches to the horizon, flanked by brownish-yellow Gobi desert and mountains. Drive or hire a car to experience the ultimate freedom. * **Ulan Lake "Heart of the Earth"**: A pink salt lake in the heart of the Tengger Desert, shaped like a heart when viewed from above. This mysterious and awe-inspiring location is a hidden gem for photography enthusiasts. * **Dragon Gate Inn Vibes**: In the southern part of Shapotou, where the Yellow River flows quietly, sheepskin rafts ferry passengers across the water, and old wooden houses stand scattered. As the sun sets, the interplay of light and shadow creates a captivating martial arts atmosphere. ⚠️ **Essential Tips for Desert Travel** 1. **Weather and Gear**: The desert experiences extreme temperature differences between day and night. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a face mask are essential during the day, while warm clothing is needed at night. High-top shoes are recommended to keep sand out. 2. **Accommodation**: For a unique experience, consider staying at the Zhongwei Desert Dragon Gate Inn (conveniently located near the Tengger Desert). 3. **Transportation**: Direct charter flights from Xiangyang to Zhongwei are available since April, offering more convenient travel options. Shuttle buses within the scenic area have limited operating hours, so plan your itinerary accordingly to avoid delays. 📸 **Social Media Caption Inspiration** - "Waiting for a desert sunset, listening to the wind tell tales of the martial arts world." - "This isn't the Sahara, but it's the closest place to the stars." - "Journey through the sands and become your own martial arts hero." The desert of Zhongwei is a legendary blend of nature and culture.
