Visited Yeming Sha Tourist Area 4 times, finally figured it out!

Address: Hangjin Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, about 20 km from Xiangshawan Scenic Area Transportation: 🚗 Self-driving: Depart from Baotou, take G6 Jingzang Expressway to G65 Baomao Expressway, exit at Balagong, Hangjin Banner, about 3 hours direct. Navigate to "Yeming Sha Tourist Area." Introduction: Yeming Sha is named for the "singing sand" phenomenon🌪️ When the wind blows or you step on the sand dunes, a low humming sound is produced, very magical! Unlike the crowded Xiangshawan, the dunes here are more pristine and continuous, with golden and fine sand. Every photo you take looks like a masterpiece📸 Travel Tips: 1. Chase sunrise and sunset: 🌅 The top of the dunes is the perfect viewing spot. Golden morning light and blood-red sunset paint the sea of sand, far more stunning than photos! 2. Camel riding adventure: 🐫 Camel caravans slowly cross the dunes (about 100 RMB/person, 30 minutes), their shadows lengthen under the sunset, full of cinematic feel. 3. Thrilling sand sliding: Rent a sandboard (about 20 RMB) and slide down the tall dunes, the wind whistles in your ears, super relieving! (Be careful not to eat sand) 4. Desert photography: 📸 Solid color long dresses or ethnic-style shawls are perfect! The dune lines naturally add a high-end filter effect. 5. Stargazing and tent night talks: When night falls, lie on the dunes and watch the Milky Way🌌 The desert night is quiet and profound, stars seem within reach. Suggestions: * ☀️ Sunscreen essentials: sunglasses + hat + high SPF sunscreen (desert UV is very strong) * 💧 Water! Water! Water! Prepare at least 2 liters per person (supplies are inconvenient inside the scenic area) * 👟 Desert boots or high socks are a must, bare feet on hot sand will hurt * 🧥 Bring a jacket! Desert temperature difference is big, it can drop 10℃+ in the evening * 📱 Download offline maps, signal is weak deep inside the scenic area Food Recommendations: * 🍖 Hangjin Banner hand-pulled lamb: local free-range lamb boiled in clear water, tender and not gamey, perfect with wild chive flower sauce * 🫓 Stir-fried eggs with desert wild scallions: crispy and tender desert wild scallions paired with native chicken eggs have a unique aroma * 🍚 Yellow millet cold cake: soft, slightly sweet, sprinkled with osmanthus honey, refreshing and relieves greasiness Accommodation Recommendations: * ⛺ Yeming Sha Tent Camp: step out the door into the desert, sleep under the starry sky (book 2 weeks in advance during peak season) * 🏡 Huhe Mudu Town Homestay: 15 minutes by car from the scenic area, clean and affordable, experience nomadic life Nearby Attractions: * 🌊 Qixing Lake Desert Ecological Area (30 minutes by car): a blue lake in the desert with abundant water activities * ⛰️ Kubuqi Desert Hiking Trail (entrance next to the scenic area): challenge yourself and experience the magnificent "no man's land" Escape the crowds✨ Yeming Sha’s desert feels like a forgotten secret. Here, listen to the wind sing and count the stars, you will truly understand what "vastness" means. 💡 Travel Tips: Check the weather in advance! On windy days, the sand "sings" louder, but you might also get sand in your face~
