In the Kubuqi Desert, Inner Mongolia autonomous region, a white lotus-shaped hotel rises from the sand — and it's turning the wasteland into a wonderland.

Camel rides. Desert hikes. Nights cool enough to sleep under the stars. Chinese apps call it the "Disneyland of the desert". Travelers call it unforgettable.

Watch how one of China's deserts has transformed into a bustling destination.
