Northwest China Self-Drive Trip Hotel Avoidance Guide: Detailed Sharing of 15 Hotels Throughout the Journey

Overall itinerary: Beijing - Dunhuang - Beijing. Driving distance: 7,400 km. Self-driving time: 17 days (July 10 - July 26). Hotels stayed: 15. The 17-day self-drive trip to the Northwest was like a dream. Looking at those magnificent and desolate natural landscapes and my own smallness within them, I couldn't help but ask: Did I really go there?! The trip was planned hastily and decisively; I only debated for two days between driving the whole way or renting a car in Xining. Later, I thought since this was a bold journey of hardship in the desolate west (not a leisure vacation), it should be taken to the absolute extreme. So I got in my little car, faced the unknown, and rose to the challenge. (The above 2 pictures are from the internet.)
