Taking kids to Xiangshawan is amazing! Desert + Grassland, 6 days of fun, the guide is all sorted out~

After having a blast with the kids in the Tengger Desert last year, they became "desert loyalists"! This year, we decisively headed to Xiangshawan, and it instantly won us over – "Desert Disney" truly lives up to its reputation, both adults and kids had so much fun they forgot to leave! Going in July is perfect for water activities. Moms taking their kids can just copy this super detailed guide~ 【Play Guide】 🌵Xiansha Island [Sand Play + Amusement Rides Double Fun] Must-try for adults: "Immortal" Roller Coaster (scream to your heart's content), Giant Turntable (spinning while watching the desert is super cool), High-altitude Cableway (overlooking the sand sea is super therapeutic), Camel Hump Roller Coaster (full of thrills), and Polaris ATVs (super exhilarating to ride! Driving yourself requires an extra fee). Kids' favorites: Fruit Worm Slide (slow and super safe), Desert Little Whirlwind (spinning is super fun), Mini Roller Coaster (get your fill of thrills), Swings (you can swing while enjoying the sand scenery~). ⚠️Camel riding tips: If there are few people, just queue up; if there are many, don't wait too long! Yuesha Island has fewer people and beautiful scenery, camel riding photos turn out amazing, you can get desert blockbusters in minutes~ 🏖️Yuesha Island [Water Play + Super Comfortable Leisure] Super smooth route: Play at Xiansha Island in the morning first (to avoid high temperatures in the afternoon), after lunch, go to Yuesha Island for camel riding 🐫, then enter the water park! There's a special photo-op pool for beautiful pictures, and photographers to help capture moments 📷, kids can have a blast playing in the water~ Be sure to participate in the interactive water splashing session hosted by the staff, adults can also join the fun! At 3 PM, go to the indoor performance hall to watch a show, it's super pleasant to relax with air conditioning, after it ends at 4 PM, take the sightseeing train (direct to the train station), to see the pure natural desert scenery 🏜️, it's so therapeutic~ 🎪6-Day Parent-Child Itinerary (Relaxed and unhurried) D1: Various locations → Baotou, Inner Mongolia (stay one night to adjust) D2: Baotou → Ordos Grassland (experience the vastness of the grassland) D3: Ordos Grassland → Kubuqi Desert Camp (close contact with the desert) D4: Kubuqi Desert Camp → Lotus Hotel (stay in a great hotel in the desert) D5: Lotus Hotel → Xiangshawan Resort → Return to Baotou (full day of fun) D6: Baotou → Return trip (go home with beautiful memories) 🏜️One-Stop Play Experience (No need to find activities yourself) ✔Choose Lotus Hotel for accommodation: Xiangshawan's prime location, excellent experience ✔Must choose an exterior room: Directly view the beautiful scenery of "a lone smoke in the vast desert" ✔Romantic experience: Starlight pool + bonfire and fireworks party (super beautiful at night) ✔Worry-free dining: All-inclusive, unlimited delicious food ✔Specialty dishes: Red Wine Themed Banquet, Imperial Zama Banquet (must try) ✔Challenge activities: 5km desert hike, wilderness survival class ✔Niche activities: Tent stargazing camping (super romantic to watch the stars) ✔Grassland activities: Horse riding, photography, grass sliding (must-try on the grassland) ✔Must-see performance: Live equestrian show (super spectacular) ✔Parent-child interaction: Kubuqi Desert hiking survival class (gain knowledge)
