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 ✨."

"Very very satisfied"

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."

"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."

"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"

"I specifically came to experience the tent accommodation, and it exceeded my expectations. The air conditioning was great, the facilities were complete and dry, and it was wonderfully quiet and healing away from the hustle and bustle. It was a fresh and fun experience. The owner was very thoughtful, preparing tea for us and setting up a hotpot. The hotpot tasted good! The lamb was delicious! If the weather is good at night, you can see the starry sky from inside the tent. Highly recommended."
