Shapotou (Chinese: 沙坡頭) Scenic Area is located in about 20 kilometers away from Zhongwei (中衛) County in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (寧夏回族自治區), China. It is a spectacular desert scenic spot located at the edge of Tenger Desert (Mongolian: Тэнгэр цөл).
Shapotou Scenic Area offers a wide range of activities such as camel-riding, but it costs 80 Renminbi for only 10 minutes, so expensive.
Tengger Desert is one of the four biggest deserts in China, covers about 36,700 square kilometers and is mostly in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (內蒙古自治區).
The boundless desert covers the northern part of Shapotou Scenic Area thickly, but it halts at the bank of the Yellow River.
There is a big tourist area in the middle of the desert which has a hotel, a restaurant and some entertainment facilities, Choumeizai suddenly thinks of Star Wars.
Tengger means 'sky’ in Mongolian, meaning this desert is big as the sky, and it is still expanding in size.
