If you have never seen the desert, then go to see the desert; if you have not seen the Yellow River, then go to listen to the Yellow River;
On July 23, 2022, the summer vacation officially started. Departing from Lukou, Nanjing, it was a rare early morning flight, and the children were woken up at 4:30. Going out to play and getting up early is stress-free. Arriving in Yinchuan, wow, it's not hot at all, it's very comfortable, and my eyes are full of curiosity, excitement, and anticipation. After ten o'clock, take the car directly to Shuidonggou Scenic Area, prehistoric humans, Ming Dynasty Tibetan soldier cave, savage guy (Xiaohua will learn how to dance like a savage after watching the show, and her father will call her a savage girl at home). It's not too hot here, but it's too sunny, so I wear sunscreen all the time.
As long as you see a mountain in Yinchuan, it is Helan Mountain. Along the way, friends from all walks of life corrected my pronunciation of these three words. We went to see the Helan Mountain rock paintings and blue sheep. We know the appearance of the sun god in the rock paintings and how the ancients used patterns to represent men and women. It is rare for a big friend to interact with the aunt of the guide and see blue sheep. My good impression of Ningxia starts from here. There are not many people and not crowded, and the weather is not too hot. It is fun to play in the scenic spot.
This petroglyph is said to be one less than one glance, and I cherish being able to see it now. After watching the rock paintings, I went to the Xixia Customs Park, which is more suitable for children, and gave up going to the Xixia Royal Tombs. According to netizens, the Xixia Royal Tombs are suitable for people who are rich in heart and know the history of Xixia to feel the vicissitudes and thickness of history. In the Xixia Customs Park, the master of the battery car in the Kaiyuan Park is a talkative person, and he supplemented us with the knowledge of Xixia. In Fengqing Garden, I saw Chinese folk arts, various juggling, such as drinking oil and breathing fire, jumping rope with my head, and jujitsu. Later, when chatting with my father, I found that we had also been to Fengqing Garden in Xishuangbanna. It seems that Fengqing Garden is very suitable for taking children.
Today we are going to the key place of our trip, the Desert Star Hotel. Since last summer, I planned to come to the hotel without grabbing a hotel, but this year I finally came to the Star Hotel that I have been thinking about. I drove for three hours all the way to Zhongwei. When I was about to arrive, I saw the desert. I liked the feeling of being open and endless. I also saw the photovoltaic power generation mentioned on the Internet, which is in pieces. By the way, I will supplement the knowledge of clean energy for children. I talked about the wind power generation in Weihai in Weihai the year before last. This photovoltaic power generation uses solar energy, and I will go to the Three Gorges University in the future The dam takes a look at using the difference in water level to generate electricity. This is the reason why I want to take my children out. Learning is on the road, and my thoughts are very divergent on the road. I just want to tell my children all the knowledge I know and tell them the greatness of human beings. When we arrived at the Gate of Time and Space of the hotel (the reception of the hotel, on the edge of the desert), the car could only be parked in the parking lot of the reception. It felt a bit messy. Maybe there was a tour group coming at the same time, so it might not be able to accommodate so many people. Impressions weren't too good at first. When we arrived at the accommodation, the children were so excited that they soaked in the sand and played with the sand. We spent the afternoon like this. My dad and I washed the clothes for the previous two days. Dad brought a clothesline and a hanger , too sensible. The sunshine was strong, and the clothes dried within three hours, even the fading was a bit serious. Our coat hangers were pink to light pink.
Dig sand in Shapotou, play games on the sand, drink wolfberry bud tea, drink chrysanthemum tea, eat instant noodles, snacks and drinks. Go out to ride camels during the day, take ATVs, warrior carts, sand carts, and eat selenium melons when you are thirsty; in the evening, drag a sandboard to climb and go sandboarding; at night, you can see the beautiful stars, the Milky Way, the Polaris, and the big horn Star, looking at the Chinese space station, it seems that every star or every shining object in the sky has its own story. The children also became more interested in outer space because of the hotel's stargazing activities. Just like this, three days passed, leisurely .
On the sixth day after we came out, we returned to Yinchuan from Zhongwei. We did not go to Route 66. Time did not permit. On the way back to Yinchuan, we went to the Qingtongxia Grand Canyon. It is the people who live in peace and the political situation can be stabilized. Later, I found out that the dam can also use hydropower to generate electricity. After seeing the 108 Tower, I sat on a sheepskin raft that I didn’t see in Zhongwei. To be honest, it was too crowded for our family of four. Dad's feet were numb from cutting.
Back in Yinchuan, Dad’s Zhenbei Fort hadn’t gone yet, and the dolls were unanimously opposed to going, and for some reason, didn’t they let Dad go to see Fairy Zixia (Dad said that there are many other fairies in the movie, forgive me My ignorance, I only know this.) Tomorrow, I will go to the hinterland of the Tengger Desert. I reported a one-day trip. At first, my father did not agree to go, thinking it was not safe. I heard that there is still a period of time when the mobile phone has no signal. I feel even more unreliable, afraid of danger. To be honest, I didn’t expect this. The man’s safety awareness is still quite high. I was also a little worried when he said this. I asked about the detailed itinerary with a nervous mood, and said that there was a convoy with me when I entered the desert, so I don’t worry. too much. In the morning, the pick-up master took us to the Great Wall at Sanguankou, where we felt that the Mongols rode horses to flatten Xixia, Xixia was massacred, and the Xixia family was exterminated. Seeing the Great Wall of Earth, it is different from the Great Wall of Beijing. In the early days of the Great Wall, although the Great Wall was built of mounds of earth, it also had the heroic spirit of iron horses and golden arms, and died in battle.
Passing through the three gates is Inner Mongolia. When you arrive at the checkpoint, you must first check the nucleic acid, change the car to the desert, and the exciting journey for the dolls begins. The real off-road vehicle goes uphill and downhill in the desert, just like the roller coaster. I feel like I am on the sand slope. The first car is a piece of cake, this is the real excitement, I was a little worried that I would not be able to carry it, but in the end it was the father and the dolls who could not carry it, I am okay, because it does not feel weightless, I feel not bad. Crossing the desert to see the five lakes, the most beautiful one is Wulan Lake, which left a deep impression on us, because my sister didn’t listen to me, walking on the crystallized salt lake, I didn’t know when I walked to a place that was a little sunken, and the shoes went into it. After drinking some hot salt water, she was so frightened that she ran quickly without any shoes, and then ran barefoot on the sand. The temperature of the sand was very high after being exposed to the sun for a day. Lan Lake is called "Sister Hot Foot Lake". When I was about to go back, my sister actually fell asleep on the roller coaster car. I remembered that I was asleep on the speedboat on Changdao, Yantai the year before last.
Back in Yinchuan, I went to the shop next door to Red Willow Branch BBQ. I like this kind of outdoor barbecue, drinking beer and eating barbecue. I said that I have never done this in Nanjing. You can say something like this. Dad looked at her and pissed her off. The sentence "you don't count". Maybe I prefer such a burden-free beer barbecue. I will leave Ningxia tomorrow, and I still have some regrets. I have never dared to slide down from the highest place. Looking forward to coming back next time with regret.
I took the high-speed train to Shaanxi, and I have to do nucleic acid when I leave the station. I understand that this is the result of Xi’an consolidating itself. It is not easy to clear the zero, and I cherish the feeling of freedom. In Xi’an, I went to the Everbright City of the Tang Dynasty, climbed the city wall (I thought it was the Tang city wall, but it was also the Ming city wall), watched the shadow puppet show in the Gaojia Courtyard, went to the teahouse to listen to the Qin opera, and also listened to the cross talk, and told the children that some things are immaterial Inheritance needs to be inherited by people, but some inheritance is not good, and it will be lost if it continues like this. I ate biangbiang noodles, roujiamo, mutton steamed buns, Zeng cake, and gourd chicken. Leaving downtown Xi'an to go to Lintong to see the terracotta warriors and horses, my sister remembers kneeling and shooting the terracotta warriors and horses when she came back. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses Scenic Spot is very famous, but the entrance of this scenic spot is not very good. It is full of vendors and stores. There is no entrance gate at all. You have to go through the crowds and obstacles to see a not too big entrance. Too many people sell you products or take you in to play, it feels like there are too many pits waiting for you to jump. The whole of Xi'an gave us a bad feeling. There are too many people and noisy. The taxi masters I met are all liars, and the routine is the same. Such a city with cultural heritage will be like this.
On the way from Xi'an to Yan'an, I started to listen to the "Yellow River Cantata" to my children, hoping that they could follow the song to learn about the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, understand the history of the motherland, and continue the red education. When we arrived at Hukou Waterfall, we saw the Yellow River that broke up in Qingtong Gorge in Ningxia. It went all the way north to Inner Mongolia and then came to Shaanxi. We met the Yellow River again. I really want to go to see the mouth of Yingkou with you. The 200-meter-long Yellow River is going to fall down at the 50-meter place in Hukou. There is a little bit of mud that is not clear, and there is a rainbow bridge above the water of the waterfall that seems to connect the east and the west of the river, which is too appropriate for this song sung by the Yellow River chorus. Watching the Yellow River chorus performance in the Hukou Waterfall Scenic Area, the simple stage, and the rustic original ecological performance, the eyes are already moist when I hear the last, the sons and daughters of the Chinese people stepped forward to defend the Yellow River, defend North China and defend the whole of China. I stayed at the hotel at Hukou Waterfall at night, but the passage to the hotel is also closed when the scenic spot is closed. If you can get close to Hukou at this time, go and see and listen, that kind of experience will not be great. This song lasted until Yan'an, because I also saw a performance of "Return to Yan'an" in Yan'an, and there was also a chorus of this song in the performance. In the evening, I ate the big carp from the Yellow River at the hotel. In fact, it is average. Compared with the fish in the lake in the south of the Yangtze River, it is much inferior. The water in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River is mixed with sediment. The water quality is not good, and the taste of the fish can only be like this up.
I missed a little bit, we are on the west side of Hukou, which belongs to Hexi, and on the opposite side of the river is Hedong, which is Shanxi Province. If the epidemic situation in Xi'an was not unblocked, we planned to see Hukou from Shanxi. In Hukou, I also experienced a helicopter to see Hukou. It was the first time I experienced it. I still remember that I was in Sanya three or four years ago. I wanted to take the children to take a helicopter. Everyone said it was too noisy and scared. Now that I grow up, I like things more and more. The more you have, the more things you are willing to experience.
On the way from Hukou to Yan'an, which song should we listen to? Of course it is "Nanniwan". After listening to many versions, everyone has their favorite version. Follow the navigation to Nanniwan. I don't know. Is it the wrong place or it’s just like this, an open scenic spot, no gates and no ticket office, maybe it’s the mountains and the cornfields, there is a big party emblem landmark, I took a photo for my big friends. My father said that I can apply to join the party. In fact, my idea is to let the children feel patriotic and respect the ancestors and martyrs. On the expressway to Yan'an, there are primitive cave dwellings on the hillsides on both sides of the expressway from time to time, without decorations. Some people lived there before, but now they are abandoned. Let the children see the initial appearance of the cave dwelling. When I arrived in Yan'an, I lived across the Red Street. The Red Street is a man-made characteristic street. There are red performances, a training ground, red cultural and creative products, a lot of snacks, and a large outdoor playground for children to play all night. The performance is immersive, and you can watch it while walking. It is very novel and quite shocking. The performance is about the Red Army's Long March, climbing snow-capped mountains and crossing grasslands, and the performance is carefully choreographed. It's just that Xiaowa was really afraid to go out when she saw the grass, so Dad had to accompany her to go out, and the elder sister and I watched the whole process. There are more than 400 revolutionary sites in Yan'an, and an inconspicuous place on the side of the road is a revolutionary site or a news liaison office. The city of Yan'an is connected by tunnels in valleys. Speaking of the tunnel, there is another episode. In the evening, Dabao remembered that the zodiac pendant of the Helan stone on his neck was left in the restaurant for dinner. Dad called the restaurant and said that he picked it up. Dad took a taxi to pick it up, but he didn’t expect to come back. I couldn't get a taxi at the time, and learned from the phone that if there was no car, my father could only walk back. Hearing that I had to walk through the tunnel, Dabao was a little scared and a little worried about his father. The scenic spots in Yan'an are all red scenic spots, so there is no charge. I wanted to see the Ansai waist drum performance in Wangjiaping, but I didn't see it. I hurried to hear the sound of the waist drum, and the performance ended. After seeing Yangjialing and Wangjiaping, they are all places where great people live and work. My father said that I should go to Zaolin to see it. When I was about to arrive at Zaolin, I saw the sign in front of Zaolin. There is a parking lot below. I think It's very strange, the word "visit" is added later, and it is different from the word "Zaolin" at first glance. As soon as you enter the parking lot, someone will come up and pull you to buy Goutou jujube. After leaving the parking lot, go forward After walking, I found that the parking lot just now was not the parking lot of the scenic spot at all. Dad thought about it or went back and drove the car to the parking lot of the scenic spot. When going out, safety is the most important thing, to avoid being cheated and pitted. After staying in Yan'an for two days, I was about to embark on the journey home. The airport in Yan'an was built on the top of a mountain, and my father said that it should be built by flattening a mountain. Looking at the airport on the top of the mountain, I think of the seaside airport in Hong Kong. One flies from the top of the mountain to see the green valley, and the other jumps from the sea to the sea to see the blue sea.
The 15-day journey of wandering outside is over. The dolls are very reluctant, saying that they can play again. Mom and Dad can’t play anymore. They have to go back to work and return to normal life. We can only look forward to next year’s itinerary.
Attach a picture for everyone, you can play along the Yellow River like this. Do you want to go to a place because of a song? Will you want to visit a place because you have read a book? Will you go to a place to try because of something delicious?
