"My first desert camping experience, and I have to thank DUNE Sand Dunes Resort so much! Upon arrival, I was caught by a breathtaking sunset. It happened to be Chinese Valentine's Day, and the romance was practically overflowing from the screen.
Entering the room, I was even more astonished. The amenities were as luxurious as a star-rated hotel, completely reshaping my concept of ”camping.” That evening, I sat down with friends for a candlelight dinner. This was the first time I'd had such a satisfying meal in all my time in Xinjiang: homemade sirloin steak, crispy baked buns...all for only 80 yuan per person, and we devoured it until we had to lean on the wall.
Unable to sleep late into the night, my friends and I adjusted our camera angles, tested our equipment, and took endless photos of the starry sky. We had a blast.
The next morning, we woke up early to watch the sunrise, swinging on the swings until daybreak. The cool morning sand felt so comfortable. A little after 9:00, the host had already prepared a healthy and delicious breakfast, and we had another satisfying meal.
When it was time to leave, the host had already booked a car for us, and the host even attentively helped us load our luggage. As the final stop on my Xinjiang trip, this experience was absolutely perfect. Goodbye, Turpan; goodbye, Xinjiang. I will definitely, definitely come back."
