Sleep in the dunes for the stars, or in Zhongwei city for value — both make excellent desert bases.
Best Areas to Stay
Desert Star Camp
Star-themed hotels and tents at the dune crest — step out of bed onto sand; premium rates that climb further on holidays.
Zhongwei City
Friendly rates around ¥200–400 a night, 20–30 minutes by taxi, plus the night market's hand-grabbed lamb.
Homestay Streets & Desert Camps
Zhongwei's atmospheric homestay lanes and Tengger-edge camps with bonfire evenings out on the sands.
