The desert may seem like an unusual place for a relaxing getaway, but the Desert Lotus Hotel takes full advantage of its setting in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
Located in Xiangshawan Desert, an area where the sands produce an unusual car-like sound, the entire resort was reportedly built to resemble a sailing ship.
A series of white canopies interconnect to form an attractive lotus shape which also allows the complex to provide its guests with plenty of shade.
Despite the desert heat, the hotel was built to be environmentally friendly and self-sustaining to a degree, with solar, wind, and water mechanisms in place to maximize energy efficiency.
Tourists are encouraged to enjoy activities on the sand dunes including sliding down them, taking a guided ride around on sightseeing vehicle, and watching performances held outside.
