tenth day
It was still a little rainy when I got up in the morning, so I had some breakfast and set off at 8:30. Today, I will visit the Stone Forest of the Yellow River and rush to Yinchuan to stay.
I got to know the Yellow River Stone Forest Scenic Spot in Jingtai County, Baiyin City from the advertisements of CCTV. The stone forest photographed by the drone was spectacular, and it was shocking at the time. I thought I must go to the Yellow River Stone Forest if I had the opportunity.
The hotel is more than 60 kilometers away. The provincial highway S217 is changed to a scenic road. There is a section of S217 road construction that is full of muddy water when it rains. The car that has just been washed has become a big face again.
S217 drove for about 40 kilometers, turned right into the special road for the scenic spot, and there are still more than 20 kilometers left. This road is well repaired and the speed limit is 70. The road is straight and you will arrive in a while.
Park the car at 9:30, and the scenic spot charges 10 yuan for parking. The original tour route is to change the bus for a battery car for a sheepskin raft for a donkey cart for a go-kart to climb to the top. The route is changed to a bus for a battery car for a walk for a donkey cart for a go-kart.
The donkey cart is very interesting, 90 yuan for a round trip. Walking all the way in the Yinma Grand Canyon, the driver will talk about the scenery of the canyons on both sides.
It takes about 1 hour to walk out of the Yinma Grand Canyon by donkey cart, and get off the car to go kart, which is probably contracted by villagers from the same village. The go-kart is quite old, and it costs 50 yuan per person to go back and forth. After seeing it, I have no desire to drive it, so I let the owner drive it. All the way up the mountain was bumpy and dusty. There are many steps to climb after getting out of the car. But climbing to the highest point and looking down, the long-awaited picture suddenly appeared in my mind! It's really amazing, and it's unforgettable to see it. This may be the unique beauty in China. The farthest plank road can overlook the Yellow River. We didn't go there, but went around the stone forest. Watched for more than 20 minutes.
After going down the mountain on the original road, the go-karts and donkey carts were waiting for us at the same place. When the original route returned to the parking lot, the donkey cart gave a tip of 20 yuan to let the donkey cart run faster.
Leaving the scenic spot around 13:00, we drove to Jingtai County first. The newly repaired provincial road S217 did not have a speed test and drove all the way. At 13:45, I arrived at the famous Donglaishun sour meat in the county. I ordered a catty of sour meat and three bowls of rice. I paid more than 50 yuan. The sour meat is actually Korean kimchi-flavored cabbage stew, very hot and sour. Dinner.
Departure at 14:30, the county seat is very close to the expressway exit, and there are still 330 kilometers away from Yinchuan on the expressway. At the beginning, there were almost no cars on the expressway, and the closer you are to Yinchuan, the more cars there are.
Arrive at Hyatt Hotel Yinchuan around 18:00. The underground garage is used for shopping malls, and it is hard to find a parking space near the hotel.
For dinner, at the request of my wife, I found a Japanese restaurant with a good environment near the hotel. The three people ate more than 400 yuan. It was the most expensive meal of this trip, but if this meal is eaten in Shanghai, it will definitely cost more than this price. There are supermarkets, shopping malls, and outlets downstairs in the hotel. But today I was tired, I couldn't walk anymore, so I went back to my room to rest.
