June 5, 2019 - June 9, 5 days

The husband and wife are carrying a four-year-old and nine-month-old male cub

I wanted to go to Ningxia in the autumn of 2017. My child was a little young. I finally had the time this year. I took two days off before the Dragon Boat Festival, a total of five days. I felt that I had a lot of fun, and my children and adults were satisfied. Before I went to Yinchuan, I checked the strategy for a week. I am very grateful to the friends who posted the travel notes before for their great help. But to play with children, you have to formulate a play route according to the personality of each child. (Boys, four years old and nine month, timid) journal-like travel notes, mainly about routes, time, price, and personal feelings, I hope it will be helpful to you.
The tour plan, we basically played according to the plan.

Travel summary:

eat

1. Food in Ningxia tends to be spicy, and almost every dish has chili peppers. Friends who don’t like spicy food or friends with babies need to pay attention.

2. The dishes in Ningxia are relatively large. In fact, two dishes are enough for a family of three.

3. There are many Muslim dishes in Ningxia. If you are not used to eating mutton, check Chinese food in advance. Remember that Muslim restaurants do not allow food outside, and pay attention to respect the customs of Muslims.

wear

1. The weather in early June in Ningxia is already very hot. Half-sleeves and shorts are fine. However, there are few shade trees and plenty of sunshine in outdoor scenic spots. It is recommended to wear sunscreen, or wear sunscreen clothes or sleeves. Sunscreen is a must Make it up on time. If it is cloudy and cold, you need long trousers and a long shirt. It is best to bring a thin coat. It is best for children to bring a coat. It is raining and windy in the open outdoors, and it is still very cold.

2. The shoes are mainly light. Don’t wear slippers when you go to the desert. It’s better to wear sports shoes. Wear socks. The sand is very hot after being exposed to the sun. We didn’t rent shoe covers. I feel that wearing shoe covers is too stuffy. Just pour out the sand in the shoes every now and then.

3. Hats, glasses, and umbrellas must be worn in personal opinion.

live

1. The child is relatively small, so it is convenient to choose a family suite to live in. Sweetome has 2 bedrooms and 1 living room at 290 yuan per day. The price is sometimes lower than that of Ctrip, and no prepayment is required, so consider it yourself. Accommodation - Choose to live in the old district as much as possible. All the attractions in the city are in the old district (Xingqing District), and many old shops are also in Xingqing District, so it is convenient to eat.

2. The hotel's breakfast is very simple (I live in Zhongwei and Yinchuan), even if you are full, you can also consider going out to eat.

3. We checked the phone number of the hotel after reading it on Ctrip for this stay. The price given by the hotel is sometimes lower than that of Ctrip, and there is no need for prepayment. You can consider it at your own discretion.

OK

1. I have never taken the bus in Yinchuan. It seems that there are buses to all scenic spots. The bus picks up earlier. I took a taxi once. The price is not high and much cheaper than Didi. You can also take a taxi.

2. The inner city roads in Yinchuan are very easy to drive, and there are very few chances of traffic jams (maybe I missed the morning and evening rush hours?), but there are too many traffic lights, one traffic light is 500 meters away, and once I drove 12 kilometers, I actually failed the navigation Seeing that there are more than 30 traffic lights, the crash is okay, basically one light can pass the car.

3. Self-driving cars are recommended to take the high speed, the provincial road is too dangerous.

tour

1. The scenic spots in Ningxia are mainly natural scenery. Each scenic spot feels very spectacular, desolate, and open. Each scenic spot is very, very large. There are many small scenic spots in each scenic spot, and each small scenic spot is a short distance away. It feels crowded. We didn't feel crowded during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, and it was very comfortable.

2. You must go to the tourist center of each scenic spot, take a look at the floor plan of the scenic spot, the marking is very detailed, there will be no omissions when playing, the route is very clearly marked, most of them are free, it seems that the western movie city charges 20 yuan/ share.

other

1. There is a slight gap in the overall service in Northwest compared with other provinces (there is no regional black, please do not complain), which is more obvious in Zhongwei.

2. The weather is very hot, so add more water.

3. The children are relatively young. It is not recommended to arrange two scenic spots every day. Try to play one scenic spot fully. It is also good to play small scenic spots in the city at other times.
4. I don’t recommend going to this scenic spot of Shahu. Personally, I feel that there is nothing to do except take a boat. The difference between camel riding, desert surfing and Shapotou is too far. There is nothing to do in water sports. It is a waste of a day (personal humble opinion, Don’t spray if you don’t like it.),

actual itinerary

Day D1 (June 5th) 8:55—11:50 Harbin—Yinchuan

After getting off the plane, we rented a car in Shenzhou at the airport and then we went to the airport to pick up the car. It was very close. After paying the insurance, we bought the supreme insurance, 50 yuan per day (strongly recommended), and the total of 1132 yuan for five days. Because of the purchase of Supreme Insurance, the upgrade from Volkswagen Lavida to Chevrolet Malibu is beautiful. There were a lot of customers renting cars, and the delay was about half an hour. The plane arrived early, and there was no checked luggage. It was an hour earlier than expected. The temporary adjustment plan was to take the Binhe Avenue (Yinchuan to Zhongwei direction for highway repairs. If the highway is not closed, it is recommended to go) The high speed and the provincial road are too dangerous. I just passed the Yellow River Tower and had an accident on the provincial road. Now I think about it.) I drove for an hour along the Yellow River to the Yellow River Tower, and went to the Yellow River Tower to popularize Chinese history for the children. The Yellow River Tower is an antique building, which is taken from the homonym of the Yellow Crane Tower. Although it is not an ancient building, the human evolution and Chinese history inside are introduced in detail. There are pictures and models. Personally, I feel that it is worth visiting with school-aged children. The former children were too young to listen to it. It was hot and time was tight, so they only visited the Yellow River Tower. The ticket seemed to be 38 yuan, and children were free of charge. The visit takes about an hour and a half, and people get on and off. There are many intersections of provincial roads, the signs are not obvious, and the speed limit is 70 kilometers. If there is a situation, it should be too late to brake. It is still recommended to take the high speed or drive slowly. After coming out of the Yellow River Tower, I scraped against an agricultural four-wheeled vehicle on the provincial road for half an hour. Fortunately, my speed was not fast. The other party was fully responsible and agreed to settle the claim. The old couple agreed to settle the claim (people can't be too kind, if they are too kind, they can only be the ones who suffer. The two old people looked good, and finally ran away when I was unprepared.), contacted the car rental point, and asked to apply for insurance, insurance I asked to report to the traffic police, considering that I was in the wild. The child was not feeling well and didn’t want to call the police. During the period, several parties kept calling me. I didn’t have time to look at the party who caused the trouble. The party who caused the trouble ran away while I was not paying attention. It was a waste of time During the hour, I got into a fire with Shenzhou Rent-a-Car, and finally Shenzhou Rent-A-Car saw that I had bought Supreme Insurance, and I didn’t need to pay for the repair of the car (the vehicle loss was about 500 yuan). After driving for another two hours, I arrived at the reserved hotel at 7 o'clock. The summer in the northwest is very long, and it will not be dark until 8:30, so I don't have to worry about walking at night.
After settling in the accommodation, set off for dinner, walked to Yanchi stewed mutton, did not make a driving mistake, and navigated for half an hour more than one kilometer, half a catty of stewed mutton, a salad with salad green onions, the wife and children are not interested in the first two items, order A piece of shrimp and broccoli, a piece of noodles, a big bowl of noodles, and a serving of eight-treasure tea (the eight-treasure tea in his house is too sweet, and the eight-treasure tea in Yinchuan Yingbin Building the next day is not so sweet , I don’t know whose one is more authentic, anyway, it’s just an experience, it’s pretty good), because the noodles are made of stewed mutton soup, my wife didn’t eat it, and felt stinky. The dishes in the Northwest are quite large, so be careful when ordering. The mutton is quite tender, but it’s not as delicious as it says in the legend. It’s much better than the ones in the North. , I don’t know if his family didn’t cook well, or it’s like this, I didn’t order this dish in the next few days. A total of about 150 yuan was spent. Before coming, the child had a cough and was delayed for an hour and a half due to an accident. The night tour to the Drum Tower and Gaomiao was cancelled, and the taxi back to the hotel started at 6 yuan. The driver reminded us very well that there are free sand dredging tools in the Shapotou Scenic Area. The sand dredging tools I bought are not allowed to be brought into the scenic spot. Later, it was proved that I bought a set and put it in my pocket. The sandboard is free for two hours, and the rental fee for sand digging tools is 10 yuan (two hours) and there is only one Spade and a small bucket. The hotel room is very big and clean, but the central air conditioner is not working (I saw comments about his air conditioner not working in the comment area before booking this hotel, I didn't expect that I would catch up with it.), call the front desk , I actually told me that the air conditioner has been broken for several days. It doesn’t matter if I stay without air conditioner. It’s more than 30 degrees during the day, and the room is like a steamer. The window I live in is very big, but there is only one open window. It’s very hot. What does the waiter mean? We can't solve our own problems. My wife said forget it. It's already past nine o'clock. I have taken out clothes, toiletries and other things. I asked to check out, but they vaguely said that they could hang up the phone. A few minutes later, I called and said that it could be repaired in half an hour. Fortunately, it was repaired, or it was really hot at night and I couldn’t sleep (there is a travel agency in the hotel lobby that sells various packages for the next day’s Shapotou scenic spot, the price and Like Ctrip, Ctrip can only book for the third day. I didn’t pay attention before I came here. I paid 275 (package A) + 75 (tickets) in the hotel lobby and discussed the specific route with her. The shuttle bus unified the Yellow River Area entry—ticket entry—speedboat—desert ladder—ferry bus to desert area—camel riding—desert surfing car—sand digging, lunch—ferry car to Yellow River area—sand boarding to the bank of the Yellow River Side—sheepskin raft—take a shuttle bus to the parking lot when you go out of the scenic spot. The tour guide told us that the whole journey takes about three hours, and we spend a long time playing in the sand, from the entrance of the Yellow River area at 9:00 to the exit of the Yellow River area at 2:30 pm (no Including the time of the shuttle bus at both ends) Children are free of charge (but the speedboat and the sheepskin raft need half a ticket of 60 yuan, which is supplemented in the scenic spot.) The weight of less than 70 kg cannot play the zip line. This must be optimistic in advance, and the age of the height is not more than 1.1 meters. Those over 60 years old are not allowed to go sandboarding, they can only go down the escalator or buy a cable car to the Yellow River area. The tour guide suggested that we watch the performance and stay an extra day. She found a tour guide for us to go to Tonghu Grassland. I ignored her, she was too philistine to pay for money Look, Tonghu Grassland is really good after checking online, one side is grassland and the other side is desert, but the time is limited and only next time.

Day D2 (June 6) Shapotou - Yinchuan

Get up at 7 o'clock for breakfast, there are very few types of breakfast, I don't know why, there is no meat for breakfast, no meat, after eating enough, drive up at 8 o'clock, arrive at the scenic spot in half an hour, the vehicle can only stop at the entrance of the desert area, Unified dump the battery car to the entrance of the Yellow River District, but found that many social vehicles also drove into the parking lot of the Yellow River District, and when we parked, a scalper asked us if we wanted to drive the car. The social vehicles parked in the parking lot a few kilometers away from the entrance of the Yellow River District. It is probably tiring to walk to the scenic spot. Safety is the first priority when going out, especially in unfamiliar places.
Shapotou is a mature tourist attraction with clear signage. The speedboat boarding point is not far from the entrance. 1. The weather is cool in the morning. Be sure to go to the desert area as soon as possible to finish the projects in the desert area. When the weather is hot in the afternoon, you will also When you arrive in the Yellow River area, there are trees and buildings in the Yellow River area that can block the sun, and it is relatively close to the Yellow River, so it will be relatively comfortable. 2. Pay attention to sun protection. The sun in the northwest is very strong. There are few buildings in the desert area that can block the sun. Try to wear long pants and protect your neck. Sunscreen and water should be replenished on time. The heat in the desert and the summer in the north The high temperature in the desert is different. The skin in the desert hurts. Try not to expose your skin to the sun for a long time. Fortunately, the wind in the desert is very strong, and you won’t feel too hot in the shade. 3. It is best to bring what you can eat in the scenic area, because some children are afraid that the food in the scenic area is not hygienic, and almost all the dishes in Ningxia are spicy, which is not suitable for children. I played according to the route planned by the tour guide yesterday, that is, after playing with camels in the desert and surfing in the desert, the child did not leave, and insisted on playing with the sand. It was about 1:30 in the afternoon. I didn’t want to arrive in Yinchuan too late, and started from the desert area to the Yellow River area. , shuttle bus - sand boarding (super cool) - sheepskin raft - scenic shuttle bus to the parking lot. Start from Zhongwei at three o'clock.
The entire expressway from Zhongwei to Yinchuan is the Beijing-Tibet Expressway. The newly built two-way eight-lane (Yinchuan is under construction in the direction of Zhongwei, but it has not been opened). It is so cool to drive. It took two and a half hours to go back to the city (Yinchuan lives in Xingqing District, the place where I live is not far from the expressway exit, and it takes about ten minutes to drive), I arrived at Weston Xinhua East Street store at about 5:30, checked in, took a short rest, and took a taxi to Yingbinlou (I want to taste the local beer, but I don’t want to Let the wife be tired by driving), I went early, but I had to wait for a table, there was a table waiting in front, the left side of the first floor of the Yingbin building sold popsicles, ice cream and other cold drinks, the right side of the first floor and the second floor were hot pot, the door Noodles and lo-mei are sold on the left and right sides of the front. The price of cold drinks is cheap and delicious. You really have to queue up for this one. Many locals go to buy it. You must buy some and try it. Remember that Wuren popsicles are only 2 yuan, full of milk flavor, and the price is conscience! In fact, the second floor is also a hot pot. At the entrance of the first floor, it is written that more than five people can go to the second floor to eat. I thought the second floor was full of big tables. When I went to the bathroom to wash my hands, I found that there were some empty tables for four on the second floor, and there were still guests on the first floor. Queuing may be to create a tense atmosphere! There are no discounts on the Internet. I don't know if it is because of the state-run or other reasons. The hot pot is ordered according to the recommendation of netizens, copper hot pot clear pot 15 yuan, mutton 60 yuan, green vegetables, noodles, luncheon meat (beef, not used to eating, don’t order if you are used to Meilin), a serving of eight treasures tea, four A bottle of local beer, the dishes are big enough, the green vegetable platter is tightly stuffed, the small ingredients are charged separately, one yuan per serving, but each serving has a bowl, too many, it is useless at all, if a family of three orders one The sesame sauce is enough, and the conscientious store must be praised. The taste is the same, not very amazing, the mutton is not smelly, it is quite tender, and the quantity is large enough, the others are average. Satiated enough to drink and eat, I went out to buy some fruit. In fact, opposite the hotel is Laobaida (what the locals call it) an old-fashioned shopping center with a big supermarket. You can go shopping. My wife felt tired and bought fruit at the entrance of the hotel. Eat a little tomorrow (pass by Bairuiyuan wolfberry shop to see some handy gifts for friends on the return trip, and then buy online, the price and quality are the same, so you don’t need to take it.), it’s very close to the Drum Tower, and I walked around and found that it’s next to it. From the starting point of the pedestrian street, walk from the Drum Tower to the end point. When you arrive at the end point, you will find that Nanxun Gate is a few hundred meters to the left. There is a shared bicycle on the side of the road. The child insists on riding a shared bicycle, so throw him in the basket and ride a bicycle at the South Gate. Yes, take a taxi back to the hotel, 8.4 yuan, really not expensive.

D 3 days (June 7) Shuidonggou
Shuidonggou was originally a backup scenic spot. Considering that netizens said that there are many vehicles to take in this scenic spot, the child likes to take various vehicles, so he activated this backup scenic spot. After coming, he found that this scenic spot must be visited. It is so worth it. Ctrip purchased a ticket for 230 yuan/person the night before.

Sleep until you wake up naturally in the morning (wake up at 7 o'clock), wash and pack your things, Weston buffet breakfast, too few styles, all with peppers, three kinds of pickles, three kinds of stir-fried vegetables, one kind of porridge, one serving of soy milk, eggs, Steamed buns are gone. Fortunately, there are eggs, just eat something, about 9:30, walk from Shuidonggou, take the expressway ten minutes later (the expressway is free during the Dragon Boat Festival, there are quite a lot of cars), get off the expressway in about 15 minutes, and walk ten minutes on the provincial road. Shuidonggou Scenic Area, the main attractions of the scenic spot are the reappearance of the life of the Shuidonggou people 40,000 years ago, the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty and the Cangbing Cave. At the same time, it promotes two provinces with one foot, Ningxia is inside the Great Wall, and Inner Mongolia is outside the Great Wall.
The scenic spot is very, very large, and at the same time has more characteristics. The staff, the older ones wear Ming Dynasty military uniforms, and the younger ones wear primitive animal skin clothing. There are free tour guides in the scenic area. It is recommended to go with the tour guide to know a lot about prehistoric and Tibetan soldier caves, or just watch the fun. According to the route provided by the scenic spot guide map—the museum introduces Shuidonggou archaeological excavation and simulates prehistoric human life—Zhang San’s store—Shuidonggou Village (battery car)—prehistoric experience area—Ming Great Wall—Inner Mongolia (Niu car)——(desert surfing car)——lake tour (boat ride)—small games (zipline, archery, balloon gun, ride in amphibious vehicle, visit to crocodile house) pretty good various experiences (horse carriage or bamboo Raft) - Ostrich Garden (Camel Cart) - The performance of "Northern Xinjiang Tiange" is a very good large-scale live performance. The actors perform ancient wars on horseback. It is very good. You can feed the horse with two carrots for 5 yuan, and ride around the field for a week. 30 yuan for a big circle, which is really a conscience price. If there are no other attractions and games in front, this show alone is definitely worth 230 tickets. Friends, I strongly recommend that you must watch it! ——Visiting the Cangbing Cave—(Take a tractor) The gate of the scenic spot is about to end again. I didn’t expect to play with my children for six hours. Except for a queue when I took the tractor out of the scenic spot, other scenic spots were very smooth. Shuidonggou It turned out to be a backup attraction. After the tour, I felt that this attraction is very suitable for bringing children to play. Lunch is settled in the scenic area, and I bring my own food. At five o'clock, I drove back to Yinchuan City from the scenic spot, and went directly to Guoqiang Shouzhuo (Jintai Store), and finally ate the legendary hand-caught mutton. I was a little excited! The shop is big, very clean, and the service is great. Half a catty in hand, a goat's trotter, broccoli (a large plate), a bowl of noodles (turned out to be served in a small pot), and cabbage tofu soup (one pot), which the wife and children ordered separately. It's very big, three people can't finish it, friends must pay attention! After dinner, I went back home. It was a bit far from where we lived, and it took 30 minutes to drive (there were too many traffic lights). I went back to the Sweetome store and delivered rice dumplings. I was so touched!

D 4 days (June 8) Shahu - the axis of China and Arab states

I read a lot of comments from netizens on the Internet the night before. It is not recommended to buy a pass. I am hesitant to go or not. Before coming to Ningxia, my friend strongly suggested to come to Shahu Lake. They said that the desert oasis and lake are very beautiful. The most important thing is to talk about the journey to the west. The opening scene of the great sage getting married, the scene where Zixia Fairy props a bamboo raft in the reeds was filmed in Shahu. As a fan of Westward Journey, I chose Shahu. I only bought tickets for the scenic spot and a boat ticket for 105 yuan per person. I didn't buy any speedboat tickets or anything, it's a wise decision! It actually proved that this scenic spot was a failure. Except for the boat ride, I didn’t think it was fun. Sandboarding was quite fun, but I had to climb up from the foot of the mountain by myself. limited number of times 90),

Sleep until you wake up naturally (wake up at 7 o'clock), wash, have breakfast (super simple breakfast), depart from Shahu at 9 o'clock, arrive at Shahu in more than an hour (Yinchuan to Shahu expressway construction of the whole provincial road), parking The field is super big. After parking the car, I bought a set of sand digging tools at the scenic spot for 30 yuan/set. It is a complete set of tools, but it is recommended to buy it in the urban area (the scenic spot is more expensive). Scan the code to enter the park at 11 o'clock, and the big boat Heading towards the sand lake, we drove to the desert for about 20 minutes. The reeds were beautiful during this time, and the scene of Zixia Fairy's appearance kept appearing in my mind. When they arrive in the desert, children have to dig sand and don’t play anything (there’s nothing to do, the distance of riding a camel is super short, and the distance of surfing in the desert is short and the slope is small, which is incomparable with Shapotou. If you don’t go to Shapotou, you can consider staying in Shahu Lake Play camel riding, desert surfing car.) The child digs the sand, and I climb up the desert hill to see if there are other things to play. The only good impression of the sand lake is that standing on the desert hill and looking at the surrounding scenery is not bad! After digging the sand for two hours, I discussed with the child to go back to Yinchuan, and the child agreed very strongly. It’s not that he didn’t want the child to play with the sand. It’s too hot. There is no shelter for him to play in the sand in the desert for fear of heat stroke. Lunch is still brought with you. I ate a lot of popsicles in Shahu to cool down the children. It took about 50 minutes to go back to the city and take the high speed. I arrived at the place to eat before 5 o'clock. The shop is also in Xingqing District. It is a quaint old shop, very close to the south gate. I came early and sat casually. I chose a place on the second floor near the railing to overlook the entire first floor. I ordered the hand-caught mutton recommended by netizens (hand It takes a catty to catch the neck of a sheep, so I can only order mutton with hands), I have always wanted to eat Yellow River carp for my children and my wife (I ate authentic Yellow River carp in Baotou more than ten years ago, and it feels delicious), actually I know here The Yellow River carp I ate must be fake, so I ordered a 79 yuan/carp, a super big one, spicy! Children can't eat it, two chicken feet, the taste is average, anyway, the dishes are ordered too much, and there are a lot of leftovers. After eating, the children have to ride shared bicycles, electric shared bicycles. It really saves energy and there is still time. I want to take my children to see the Nanguan Mosque. It has national characteristics and is also very famous. It has a long history, but it was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. This one was rebuilt in the 1980s. The children may be too young. Going in, there is no way to go back to the hotel by bike and prepare to go back to the hotel. I said on the Internet before I came here that the Sino-Arab Axis at night is beautiful. You can take a look. It is about half an hour’s drive from the Sino-Arab Axis. When you drive to the place, it is close to 7:00 It’s halfway there. It’s in the north of Yinchuan. It belongs to the core area of ​​the CBD under development. The surrounding area is under construction. It’s a very spectacular modern building. It’s worth visiting when you come to Yinchuan. We took a lot of photos and felt that the modern buildings in Yinchuan are more atmospheric and beautiful than Harbin. After playing until after nine o'clock, there were too many mosquitoes, so I went back home.

D 5 days (June 9) Zhenbeibao Western Studios—Harbin

This is the last stop in Ningxia. Originally, I planned to visit Wangling - Film City - Helan Mountain Stone Carvings in one day. Considering that the child is too young to choose one must go, I chose Western Film City (before I came, my friends said children He must not like the cinema, because he has never seen the movies shot here, so he won’t refine it. For the sake of my wife and I—I want to see the real scene of Westward Journey, I chose the cinema), the night before Ctrip buys tickets for 72 yuan/person. Facts have proved that this place is very suitable for children to play. There are many film and television props in the movie theater that can be played casually. It is very interesting for children. Fake fruits, vegetables, meat, steamed buns, and mutton skewers In short, everything is fake, and you can still be the boss.

Wake up the child at 7 o'clock in the morning, start to pack things, breakfast-check-out-departure studio-the whole journey is about 50 minutes on high speed to the west studio, and I saw a section of the Ming Dynasty city wall in the fast-forward parking lot, that feeling of sadness Healthy, the parking lot is big enough, the tour guide in the scenic spot is free, and if there are enough 20 people, there will be a tour guide who will explain the three major scenic spots for free. If you can follow the tour guide as much as possible, the tour guide will explain in great detail. Some children can't keep up with the guide, so they play by themselves.

The film city is divided into three parts, the largest and the most scenic spot - Ming City (built in the Ming Dynasty, collapsed by an earthquake in the Qing Dynasty, Feng Shui masters do not recommend rebuilding the original site, it is deserted, this is what the tour guide told), Qingcheng ( Built in the Qing Dynasty), old Yinchuan (Republic of China style) street, netizens suggest to play Qingcheng first, Qingcheng can be finished soon, in fact, netizens are right, Qingcheng is very small, and it is very classic, talking about Journey to the West, In the end, the scene of Zhizunbao and Zixia kissing on the city gate was filmed in Qingcheng, but the children had a great time playing in Qingcheng. They only played shopping games. It is very suitable for children to move and enjoy it at will. Selling steamed buns, selling cloth, selling fruits, buying vegetables, and all kinds of hawking, from the shyness at the beginning to the loud hawking later, I think it is a very big breakthrough for children. We entered the scenic spot at about 10 o'clock and we were still in Qingcheng until 1:30 in the afternoon (the tour guide said when we entered the gate that the whole scenic spot tour would take about 3 hours), we flew at night, and planned to go back to the city to eat the last classic - Tongxinchun, to discuss with the children Go to Mingcheng, Mingcheng is very big, reluctantly negotiated with him that there are many places to sell things in Mingcheng, so we went to Mingcheng with us, Mingcheng is about three times bigger than Qingcheng, the main filming location of Red Sorghum ( Brewery, Gong Li's new house), many filming locations of Journey to the West are also in Mingcheng, the children had a great time playing, and they were still in Mingcheng at four o'clock in the afternoon, and they discussed the children to go to the old Yinchuan street, the old Yinchuan street Take a brief look at us. We went out to pick up the car immediately at 5:30, and there was no rush to go back to Yinchuan for dinner. We had to go directly to the airport to return the car. Yinchuan is around the city—the airport takes about 70 minutes by car. Refueling and returning the car went smoothly. , I just changed my boarding pass at the airport and my child was hungry. I happened to have a can of eight-treasure porridge in my bag. Fortunately, I didn’t go through the security check. If I went through the security check, I couldn’t drink the porridge. When I drank the porridge, I found a small black key bag on the stool. , I asked the passengers around and didn’t know, took the child to find Uncle jc, jc asked us to send it to the lost and found office, the lost and found office is in the corner of the airport, the airport waiter told us to put things on the table, and then Tell us you guys to go, I am very strange, I said what is this and you don't register? Do not broadcast to find the owner? The staff told me that it didn’t happen. Someone picked up something and sent it to them. When I opened the bag, it was a Mercedes-Benz car key. I suggested that they broadcast to find the owner. The broadcast is over, you can go, the child looked at me blankly and asked, can the uncle and aunt who lost the key still drive? Can the aunt who works here find the owner of the key? I also want to know this question. I advise friends who are away from home to pay attention to their belongings and be careful not to lose them. The return trip went smoothly, and the five-day trip to Ningxia was very fulfilling. Friends who want to go, act quickly! I hope my travel notes are of some help to you.
