Lotus Hotel (Lotus Resort)

"My stay at the Xiangshawan Lotus Hotel was absolutely perfect, comfortable and pleasant throughout. The biggest surprise was the hotel's dining, which completely exceeded my expectations. The hotel is located deep in the desert, with its pure white lotus shape making it highly recognizable. The rooms have excellent lighting and views. The all-inclusive policy was a real convenience; the Sand Island and Joyful Sand Island attractions offered unlimited play with a wristband, and the exclusive skip-the-line access for guests saved a lot of waiting time. The evening activities like bonfires and stargazing created a fantastic atmosphere. The staff were warm and attentive, with meticulous and thoughtful services like luggage handling and inter-island shuttle buses, ensuring a hassle-free experience throughout our desert trip.

There are also various entertainment facilities at the Blue Lotus Hall, where the 'Yue Lian Hui' (Leaping Lotus Club) allows children to experience the excitement of competition and the joy of winning. I must particularly praise the food: the breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffets offered a rich and balanced selection of dishes. The authentic Inner Mongolian beef and lamb were tender and free of ***** taste, with hand-pulled lamb and freshly roasted lamb chops tasting truly authentic. For breakfast, the Mongolian milk tea and dairy products had an authentic flavor, and the hotpot for dinner featured fresh and ample ingredients. Chinese and Western hot dishes, desserts, fruits, and beverages were available in unlimited quantities throughout the day. The Shalian Hall also provided self-service snacks and drinks from day to night. Despite being in the dry desert, the food quality was consistently high, with timely replenishment of ingredients and stable flavors. Every meal was satisfying, and we didn't have to worry about finding food elsewhere.

Shalan Bieyuan Homestay

Whistling Dune Bay Shunsha Resort Island

"There were so many activities! I missed the fireworks yesterday due to the rain, but I caught the sunrise this morning. The AR games were a big hit with the kids, and the esports room was a favorite among the older crowd. The VIP access from the hotel wristband was really convenient, and we had a great time at Xiansha."

Yilisha Resort

"Good overall but we booked this place because they had a non-smoking room and yet our room was right beside the elevator where people smoke, we were not happy about that…."

Stellar Journey RV Campsite

"The RV campsite was exceptionally clean, exceeding my expectations. Excellent. The overall layout was also very well done; the stargazing and sunset views were simply superb! The service was also incredibly attentive. My RV had a minor issue, and the campsite thoughtfully arranged and resolved it, allowing us to travel without any worries! Highly recommended."

ShangJing Hotel

"The room is clean and comfortable, the bedding is very clean and hygienic, the service is very good, breakfast is provided, and the sleeping environment is very quiet. In short, it gave me a very pleasant stay experience."

Dalad Qi XI AO DU HOTEL

"Going to the desert transfer station, the room and bed are very big, the health is very clean, the service is very good. Because it is a chartered car, I don't know the location is inconvenient, but there are many foods nearby and the price is not expensive."

Yinkentala Desert Space Capsule Smart Hotel

"It was my first time staying in the desert, and the experience was amazing. I had exclusive access to the desert, unlimited sandboarding, and watched the sunset and the starry sky, which was very shocking. I went to the scenic spot early in the morning to play the projects without queuing. It would be better if the food and beverage could be more refined."

Moye Xinghe Desert Hotel

"This hotel is right inside the scenic area. I could see the sand dunes just by opening the curtains. The room was really clean, and the hot water supply was excellent. They even organized bonfire parties, fireworks shows, and stargazing at night. The experience was absolutely fantastic, and I'd love to come back again!"

Shamanmuqi Vacation Apartment

"This log cabin B&B was an amazing experience! The wooden cabin felt cozy and comforting, the room was clean and tidy, and the wooden decor really set the mood. The outdoor courtyard was spacious, with a sunshade and lounge chairs, perfect for taking photos. The environment was quiet and serene, facilities were complete, and the service was attentive. It's ideal for a relaxing get-together with friends, a perfect escape from the city hustle, and definitely my top choice for a vacation!"

Whistling Dune Bay Yuesha Island Camping Hotel

"I was initially in a dilemma about whether to stay here or not, but looking back, it turned out to be one of the best decisions of my trip! After carefully planning the journey, getting there was actually quite straightforward. For those coming from Hohhot, here's the route I took: 1. Take a train from Hohhot to Dalate West Station. 2. Take a Didi from Dalate West Station to Huailian Tourism Resort Reception Center (about 40 minutes, around CNY50). 3. Purchase rm176 of the Whistling Dune Bay package ticket, which includes admission, cable car, Yuesha Island access, and a camel ride. 4. Resort guests have access to a special lane for the cable car, which takes about 8 minutes. 5. Upon arrival, take the resort jeep transfer to the accommodation area. 6. Enjoy activities such as sand sliding, swimming in the pool, stargazing, and simply experiencing the peaceful desert atmosphere at night. 7. After checkout, take the jeep transfer to the mini desert train, followed by the duck car ride, before returning via cable car. 8. It can be difficult to get a Didi from the resort reception area, but the staff kindly helped arrange a taxi back to Dalate West Station for around CNY50. 9. Continue the journey from Dalate West Station to Ordos. What impressed me most was the hospitality. From the WeChat communication before arrival to the reception team and resort staff, everyone was incredibly helpful, friendly, and welcoming. The night experience was truly spectacular. The desert becomes so peaceful after sunset — all you can hear is the sound of the sand, while above you is a sky filled with countless stars and a beautiful moon. It was one of the most memorable moments of my trip. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique desert stay and unforgettable experience!"

Nansha Desert 23 Degrees Sand Homestay

"Superb! I arrived around 9 PM that day because of other commitments. I contacted the staff, and they actively directed me to parking, helped with check-in, and explained the attractions. They were very welcoming. The beach is huge, with many activities to enjoy, and parking is easy. The rooms are spacious. I lost my phone in the desert while playing, and after contacting the staff, they actively helped me find it. It was eventually found; it was very difficult to find. The staff worked incredibly hard to resolve the issue. I'm so grateful! Absolutely fantastic! I'll definitely stay here again next time."
