A must-try adventure in Ningxia: Off-road exploration of the Five Lakes

This time in Ningxia, I opted for a private car to experience off-road driving through the Five Lakes, and I’m so glad I made the right choice! (Those prone to motion sickness, think twice before trying this 😅) 🐫🐪🌠🏞🏞🏜🏜🏜🏜🏜 When traveling in the Northwest, don’t just think about visiting the desert! Ningxia, known as the "Jiangnan of the frontier," offers the ultimate experience of off-road driving through the Five Lakes—each lake has its own surprises. The sound of the wheels crunching over the sand and the cool breeze brushing past your ears will leave you completely relaxed! Remember to wear an extra jacket; the Northwest can be scorching during the day but freezing after sunset. Also, bring a camera—every snapshot feels like a masterpiece, especially at dusk when the sunset reflects on the lake surface, and even the sand grains shimmer with light. Local professional drivers lead the way, ensuring safety while keeping the adventure thrilling. They’ll also share fascinating stories about the Five Lakes. After a day of exploring, enjoy a barbecue dinner at a desert campsite under a sky full of stars 🌟🌟🌠. This kind of experience will stay with you long after you return to Hong Kong!
