In the future, we will continue to enhance our service quality and, guided by the philosophy of "desert oasis·intelligent symbiosis," strive to create an innovative desert tourism resort experience zone, making Yinken Tara a "desert oasis where life and civilization resonate." At the same time, based on the high-quality desert tourism resources of Dalad Banner, we will fully explore and develop differentiated tourism experience products, cultural products, and understory economic ecological products. With greener deserts as the core development concept, we aim to achieve a virtuous cycle among the desert ecological industry, tourism industry, and cultural industry. Adhering to the virtuous cycle development model of "governance—revenue—re-governance," we will continuously promote desert ecological improvement and tourism economic development through ecological compensation, industrial introduction, and social participation. The ultimate vision of Yinken Tara is to become a model of reconciliation and symbiosis between humans and nature—on this land once dominated by wind and sand, witnessing the resilience of life and the warmth of civilization, and jointly composing a future desert poem where ecological protection and cultural tourism harmoniously resonate.

There are so many activities in the desert: sandboarding, desert train rides, Bigfoot rides, camel riding, and it's best to travel off-peak. It's freezing cold! Remember to wear warm clothes. Emerging in the desert to escape the rain in late autumn—fewer people, great for taking photos, so refreshing!

Xiangshawan is perfect for family trips, with excellent recreational facilities and unique desert experiences. It's recommended to enter the park early to avoid the strong midday sun. Hotels within the scenic area are relatively expensive; consider staying near the park for better value.

The overall environment of the scenic area is quite good, with a wide variety of entertainment options. However, the most obvious drawback is the exorbitant price of the scenic area's shuttle bus. The ticket agent told me the distance was two to three kilometers, but it wasn't. A person with good stamina could walk the distance, about 500 meters, in about ten minutes. The 90 yuan shuttle bus is excessively expensive, and the staff try to mislead you into buying tickets. A bad review!!!

I've been to Xiangshawan before, so I think it's just average. I came here with my family and wanted to see something different. This one is much smaller than Xiangshawan. If it's your first time here, I recommend Xiangshawan, which is more shocking. Because it's small, it's also a good experience to see the sand control process (observe + imagine by yourself).

The scenic area is vast, with numerous activities to enjoy. The rolling sand dunes offer breathtaking views, and the sunsets are absolutely stunning with their beautiful light and shadow effects.

Most of the northern landscapes lack flowing water, but Nanhai Wetland Park fills this gap. Although there are many tourists during the May Day holiday, it does not feel crowded when entering the scenic park. The reeds by the water, accompanied by the sea breeze, blow on people's faces. Yachts or speedboats in the water, accompanied by flying seabirds, form a scene of water and sky in one color.
