In May 2021, a self-driving trip to the desert and the Yellow River in Ningxia

opening words:

The Yellow River runs across thousands of miles, with its golden wings soaring.

The sun is shining, the sky is full of yellow sand, and the sun is clear.

The lonely smoke in the desert, the sunset over the long river, is magnificent through the ages.

This is the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region on the map of China. It is half-embraced by the long and narrow Gansu Province, high-fives with the "sitting" Shaanxi, and "stretches its head" to the vast Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. "Half Jiangnan, half desert" Ningxia is full of combinations of oases and deserts.

Ningxia Zhongwei Tengger gathers the desolation of the desert, breeds the majesty of the Yellow River, and guides the direction of my heart. On May Day in 2021, we traveled across the boundless desert, looked up at the sky full of stars, flew across the Pentium Yellow River, explored the ruins of the Great Wall, drove the desert road by ourselves, and took the steps of literature and art.

During the journey, his wife controlled the drone to take pictures of the magnificent scenery of the desolate desert and the Jiuqu Yellow River; his father-in-law held a SLR camera and recorded the unforgettable moments left by his family when they explored the yellow sands of the Yellow River; the 11-year-old daughter With pen and ink in hand, I vividly read what I saw and heard on paper, and let my feelings flow through the pen; I retrieved text and pictures in front of the computer, interspersed them in our itinerary, and organized them into a travel note belonging to the five of us——"May 2021, the Desert and the Yellow River journey of".

Day01: 2021/4/30——Journey to the desert and the Yellow River (the desert sunset and the sky full of stars in Jinshahai)

At 12:00 noon, flight MU2687 from Wuhan to Yinchuan arrived in the sky above Yinchuan. Looking down at this desert oasis, it is dotted with greenery and surrounded by yellow sand. Facing the upcoming journey of exploring the desert ocean and the hometown of stars, my daughter's excitement is beyond words.

After getting off the plane and picking up the car, a group of five people drove to Jinshahai in Zhongwei by themselves. The sand and dust just crossed the border, and the air was polluted along the way. I couldn't help sweating as I thought about what my daughter kept saying, "The desert is full of smoke, and the long river is full of sunset. I want to go to the desert to watch the sunset and the stars..." ——This yellow sand covers the sun, won’t it cover the sunset and stars in the Jinsha Sea?

With this worry in mind, I went all the way through Yinkun Expressway, Guqing Expressway, Beijing-Tibet Expressway, Fuyin Expressway, Dingwu Expressway, crossed the Zhongwei Yellow River Highway Bridge, and walked along Binhe West Road, Provincial Highway 201, and Yingyan Highway. We finally came near this vast expanse of desert. A not-wide driving road leads us into the desert, and on both sides are sand dunes governed by the wheat straw grid method, which adds a little greenness to the desert. As the vehicle penetrated into the hinterland of the desert, both sides of the road were covered with boundless yellow sand. The afternoon sun shines, the desert is full of wind and clouds, and the sea of sand is sparkling. 5 kilometers deep into the desert, a steam train is like a crouching dragon, waving to us in the desert. This is the steam train used when China’s first desert railway, the Baolan Railway, was opened to traffic. Now it has been converted into a train hotel to welcome guests from all over the world. After 2 hours and 28 minutes, we arrived at the Jinshahai Train Theme Hotel and got off to check in. At this moment, the sand and dust have dispersed, the sun is shining, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the sand sea has become a paradise on earth to feel the camel bells in the desert, and the blue sky returns to welcome The celestial homeland of the stars.

The green steam train hotel is full of nostalgic literary and artistic atmosphere, and the white tower-shaped desert tents are full of modern romantic style. The wind blew her daughter's long hair, and she couldn't wait to chase the waves in the sea of sand, and ran to the tent of "Constellation", shouting cheerfully in the wind: "Tengger Desert, here I come! I love Liujin so much." In the desert of time, I look forward to the vast sky of stars. I want to watch the sun rise and set in Jinshahai, and I want to watch the stars move in Tengger..."

The father-in-law, mother-in-law, and wife looked at their daughter's happy smiling face and smiled knowingly. In front of the door is a wooden trestle and a fence. Pushing the door open is a clean room with air conditioning, hot water, and beds. This is my daughter's home in the desert. After a simple rest, we didn't care about leaning on the railing to look far away. We took the drone and camera, went to the back of the house, climbed over the dunes, and explored the depths of the desert. The fine powdery sand gathers into rolling sand dunes, the warm spring breeze blows sparkling sand waves, and the sun sprinkles the sand sea with golden light shining. The sand moves with the wind, the sand flutters, and the fine sand waves, like light ripples, naturally outline a magnificent and winding sand dune map. Everyone climbed step by step and rocked three times, advancing three times and retreating twice, adding a bit of agility to the sand dunes. Our laughter drifted to the farther place of Jinsha Sea with the wind.

Walk on the yellow sand, swim in the golden ocean, and embrace freedom with open arms. The daughter is surfing in the sea of sand, running in the sunset, and the drone follows closely, capturing the sunset at dusk is infinitely beautiful; the wife stands gracefully in the golden sand, as her name suggests, wearing a red dress, like a red gem crowned on the golden Above the crown; the mother-in-law is posing for a photo in a red dress, Jun Moxiao is lying drunk on the sand field; the father-in-law is taking a SLR camera, and the old man is chatting like a teenager; I sit down on the top of a high sand dune, with my legs resting on the cliff-like sand At the edge of the pile, the sand flows down like a waterfall, rushing for thousands of miles, and the golden sand hills behind it are endless, stretching out a unique grand perspective-in the vast desert, you and I are small; , with great momentum!

When the sunset put away the last ray of sunlight and hid in the desert, we were suddenly hungry. Drive 20km to the Xiangshan lamb on Gulou South Road in Zhongwei City for dinner. Hand-caught lamb is essential. Grab the mutton with your hands, cook the lamb ribs thoroughly, cut into pieces, and dip them in a vinegar dish to eat immediately. Gently tore a large piece of meat, biting down, the fat, plump and hot will wrap the teeth, and the lean meat will be tender and springy, without any fishy smell. The quality of Ningxia mutton is undeniable. The climate here is dry and rainless, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. Pastures such as alfalfa, licorice, and bitter beans grow everywhere, and the land has high mineral content and is generally rich in selenium. Let me tell you a joke: all the sheep in Ningxia grew up eating Chinese herbal medicine and drinking mineral water. Ningxia people eat mutton from the head to the toe, from the inside to the outside. Therefore, some people say: "No sheep can leave Ningxia intact." Eating delicious mutton and serving a bowl of eight-treasure tea is extremely satisfying. Babao tea, Ningxia brand "functional drink", wolfberry, chrysanthemum, dried fruit of various colors, a large piece of yellow rock sugar and rose sauce, sweet and slightly sour, when paired with tea leaves, the greasy is invisible, and the dark fragrance is on the tip of the tongue. satisfy.

When enjoying a delicious dinner, return to the Jinshahai desert, the stars have quietly blinked in the night. Along the way, my daughter shouted excitedly: "Wow, there are so many stars in the sky!" When we returned to Jinshanhai, the night wind was blowing in the desert. We put on thick clothes, stepped on the desert, looked up at the starry sky, and felt the night of Ningxia's desert. romantic. The father-in-law fixed this romance as eternity. He took out the SLR, fixed the tripod, connected the shutter cable, adjusted the exposure, and made multiple adjustments to take a picture of the precious granddaughter who stepped on the boundless desert and looked up at the vast starry sky. This is the photographic record of the old man - in the desolate desert, under the boundless night, among the vast stars, there is a girl holding a bright flashlight and pointing directly at the starry sky, dancing cold fireworks in her hand to light up the night and the desert. This is the ocean of the desert, this is the hometown of the stars, this is the place that will become the dream of my daughter, the golden sand sea in Ningxia Zhongwei Tengger.

The midnight is quiet, only the wind in the desert passes by; the sky is covered, only the stars in the sky are shining. Staying overnight in Zhongwei Tengger Desert, in the tower tent, my daughter fell asleep sweetly, with a smile on her mouth, telling us that here, she experienced the desolation and magnificence of the desert, and saw the vastness and infinity of the starry sky... …

Day02: 2021/5/1 - the trip to the desert and the Yellow River (deep into the Tengger Desert)

After admiring the sunset and stars in the sand sea, I long to see the sunrise and morning glow in the desert.

At 5:30, we got up and walked out of the tent, climbed to the top of the sand dunes, and looked at the east of the desert. At 6:04, there was a glow in the sky, and the red sun poked out half of its head from the desert, like a child's face, shy and naughty. "Dad, the sun is coming out! The sun is coming out!" Before we had time to appreciate the beauty of the rising sun of Dongfanghong, the sun jumped out of the desert, releasing dazzling light instantly, and the sand sea suddenly shone with golden light. My daughter was cheering from the sidelines, and I looked at her tall figure under the morning sun, and a feeling came to my heart—why didn’t my daughter grow from a shy baby in the arms of her parents to a graceful girl in the desert in an instant, and all the growth and changes seemed to be In an inadvertent moment, the golden wings spread their wings, invincible.

As the sun rises, the journey of exploring the Tengger Desert also begins.

Driving from Weining Jinshahai, we leave Ningxia, enter Inner Mongolia, pass through the Tonghu grassland, follow the road north of Tengger, Alxa Left Banner, and arrive at the camp at the edge of the desert. During the process of parking the car and preparing for it, my daughter was already imagining the scenery in the depths of the desert - the tall and continuous sand dunes, the camel caravan with camel bells, the thrilling desert surfing car, the fast desert kart...

Going deep into the desert, riding a desert surfer is the best choice. The surf car looks like a combination of military trucks and tanks, with a camouflage body, flags fluttering, the driver is dressed in a black lens scarf and camouflage clothing, the desert wind and smoke are everywhere, and there is a bit of the smoke of the special forces desert field battle. Accompanied by the deafening dynamic music, the surf car drove towards the depths of Tengger at high speed, leaving behind the deep ruts, leaving sand flying. The cross-country ability of the surf car is really worthy of the name. Crossing the dunes is as easy as walking on flat ground, but it is as exciting as a roller coaster. When crossing the sand dunes, the car climbed up the sand dunes at a 45-degree angle to the sky. Just when we could not see the road ahead and only saw the sky, it plunged down at a 45-degree angle, leaving a car full of screams. The surf car was unmoved and continued to climb over the next dune. Along the way, my daughter yelled cheerfully and ecstatically, a little wildly and excitedly. Surfing in the sand sea, ups and downs, an unforgettable experience, a unique memory, will be given to the young Jingchu on the desert surfing vehicle. It is not surprising that young people are strong; it is even more gratifying to be strong when old. The climb and dive of the desert car, the father-in-law and mother-in-law had a great time playing it, and they were very addicted.

The surf car arrived in the hinterland of the desert, where the sand dunes are as tall as hills, rolling and extending infinitely. At the bottom of the valley surrounded by sand dunes, there is a clear spring in the shape of a crescent moon. For the time being, it is considered to be Tengger's version of Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Moon Spring. Surrounded by the vast desert, the camel team is long, the motorbikes are roaring, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and it is endless.

When you come to the desert, riding a camel is a must experience. In the hot sun, we armed ourselves with hats, masks and sunglasses. When we stepped on the boat of the desert, the camels got up and walked slowly, striding forward, crossing the dunes one by one, and marching in the Tengger Desert. The desert is boundless, and the slowly moving figure of the camel is like a small boat sailing in the sea, riding the wind and breaking the waves. The wife manipulated the drone to help us take pictures, and the daughter posed scissors on the hunchback from time to time, her face was flushed like a ripe apple, and she hummed a song "Desert Camel" in her mouth - I stepped on the desert boat, carried Putting on a pipe and an hourglass, holding a jug of strong wine in his hand, the long and ancient road is long, full of joys, angers and sorrows, only the camel is still running.

The long camel caravan came from history, and the desert motorcycle galloped away to the future.

After getting off the camel, the daughter wore a racing helmet, stepped on a desert motorcycle, and galloped in the desert with a heroic posture, the motor sounded, and the fine sand was flying. The daughter's determined eyes and proud expression seemed to be the embodiment of a driver driving on the Dakar Rally track, meeting challenges in the sand sea and chasing dreams in the desert. The heat in the desert at noon was unbearable, and my daughter drove motorcycles, karts, and sandboarding over and over again, and never complained of suffering or tiredness. I was very pleased. Thierry Sabin, the founder of Dakar, once said a famous saying that suddenly came to my mind - "I can take you to knock on the door of adventure, but it is you who open the door to challenge your destiny." Own."

The camel bells burst out, seeming to have passed through a thousand years of history, mysterious and long.

The motor roared, as if rushing out of a sea of sand, full of passion.

The golden wings spread their wings, just like turning into a desert eagle, full of pride.

Day03: 2021/5/2 - a trip to the desert and the Yellow River (exploring the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty and driving on Route 66)

Ningxia has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, and there are almost relics of the Great Wall built by various dynasties in the territory, which is why it is also known as the "Museum of the Great Wall of China". Deep in the yellow sand of the desert, on the bank of the rolling Yellow River, not far from the Yellow River Suji, I heard that there is a section of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. It and Shapotou are guarded across the Yellow River. In the afternoon, we drove there to find out. It is unforgettable to pass Zhongwei Changying Yellow River Floating Bridge. The bridge deck is supported by ship hulls and floats on the river; the water of the Yellow River flows through the gaps in the hulls and flows thousands of miles; the steel wire cables fix the hulls and bridge decks and fly from north to south. After driving through the pontoon bridge, you will be accompanied by the Yellow River along the way. The turbulent Mother River flows on the Weining Plain, nourishing the oasis on both sides of the river.

With a sense of exploration, we arrived at Suji on the Yellow River. The quaint and old village is full of literary and artistic atmosphere. On the top of the mountain not far away is the ruins of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. For thousands of years, it has been here, overlooking the Yellow River and Tengger. Climbing all the way to the Great Wall, my daughter ran unrestrainedly on the Great Wall, and the wind blew her long hair, creating a magnificent picture with the yellow sand, the Yellow River, the Great Wall and the oasis. The Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty is guarded against danger. From history, the melodious sound of Qiang flute and the sound of swords and swords of gold and iron horses guard the Chinese civilization. It is quietly aging in the years, but it tells us the story of the past as a museum. .

The Great Wall will never fall down, and the Yellow River will flow for thousands of miles.

If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero.

A sentence of strong and impassioned words resounds throughout the world here.

At dusk, we unloaded the weight of history and drove to the desolation of Route 66. This is a country road accompanied by the Yellow River and passing through undulating valleys, as if the pulse of Zhongwei is powerful. Driving on Highway 66 to North Long Beach, the Yellow River spreads eastward together with Highway 66 like a silk belt. Driving between the plateau and Gobi, along the bank of the Yellow River, watching the sunset and listening to the waves... The vast land , the Yellow River Gobi, immersed in the twilight of Zhongwei, is extraordinarily thick.

Route 66 is actually not long at all, and it can be completed in an hour or two by car; Route 66 is very long, and together with the Yellow River, it tells the legendary story of China in 5,000 years, and it is impossible to finish it.

Day04: 5/3/2021—Journey to the desert and the Yellow River (Shapotou flies over the Yellow River)

Shapotou is a magical place where you can enjoy the lonely smoke in the desert and the sunset on the long river. It is connected to the Tengger Desert in the north and the Yellow River in the south. There is the largest natural sand-sliding field in China, and there are sheepskin rafts, an ancient transportation tool on the Yellow River. There is also "the first cable in the world on the Yellow River" across the Yellow River.

Early in the morning, we drove to the scenic spot for more than ten minutes. As soon as you enter the scenic spot, you will be greeted by the surging and mighty Yellow River. The water of the Yellow River is whirlpooled, and the stormy waves beat the shore. Walking along the plank road by the river, my daughter bent down, and the waves splashed on her hands. She cheered: "I touched the water of the Yellow River!..." While speaking, a 3D glass bridge spanned the Yellow River , there are assault boats and sheepskin rafts under the bridge, chasing the waves of the Yellow River.

The daughter was so obsessed with flying over the Yellow River that she didn't have time to stop, so she ran in the direction of the Yellow River zipline. After more than ten minutes, I saw: there are ziplines above the head, spanning the Yellow River, one end starts from the high sand dunes on the north bank of the Yellow River, and the other end is at the thrilling bungee jumping place on the south bank of the Yellow River. The sand dunes on the north bank are so high that many people need to take a cable car up there. It must be an excellent place to watch and overlook the Yellow River. Panting, my daughter and I climbed all the way along the sand hill on the north bank of the Yellow River. When we reached the top of Shapotou, we looked down at the Yellow River and into the distance, full of pride. The waves on the river curb the flying boat, and the raft is rippling. To the west, the Yellow River makes a big U-shaped bend in the upper reaches. This is the peak where the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty we visited yesterday is located. The lonely smoke in the desert, the sunset over the long river, this is the place.

Thinking of flying across the Yellow River just by holding the zipline with both hands, I am nervous and excited. We will complete the feat of flying across the Yellow River in Shapotou. After the staff checked everything was correct, I set off with my daughter first. With a "wow", the potential energy instantly turned into kinetic energy, and I swooped down from the top of the mountain to the Yellow River. Flying to the middle of the river, I adapted to the rhythm of flying over, leisurely enjoying the waves of the Yellow River. I was getting closer and closer to the other side, but the zipline didn't mean to slow down. I ran towards the finish line at high speed. I was a little panicked. With a "bang", I hit the buffer wall and bounced back. At this moment, I understood that it is very reasonable that the weight over 90kg cannot play this event. And I, the weight of 85kg should also be reduced.

With no time to think about life, I fished out the video camera and recorded a video for my daughter flying across the Yellow River. Well, the camera locked on the target, and within a few seconds of shooting, I saw that the daughter's zipline was flying slower and slower, and it actually stopped on the river. It was too late, but soon, the staff flew out a hook along the steel cable, caught the daughter's zipline, and pulled her over. At this moment, I understood again that it makes sense not to be able to play this event if the weight is less than 35kg.

The daughter glanced back at the Yellow River, with a hint of depression on her excited face, and said, "Dad, why did I stop? The overflight failed!" I patted my daughter's head, smiled, and pointed to the buffer wall Said: "You weigh too little! Your father bumped his head against the wall and stopped. Let's go, we are going to fly back, I guess you have to use a hook to get back."

This time, my daughter set off first, and I watched from behind. I saw my daughter soaring into the sky, flying like a sword, crossing the natural danger, and pointing directly to the north bank of the Yellow River. I followed closely, and a miracle happened again. I hadn't flown to the other side, so I stopped. Watching the staff flying out the hook along the steel cable to hook me, my daughter who had already flown to the north bank of the Yellow River laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up. "Father, who said I can't fly over the Yellow River? I've already flown over the Yellow River! You're so heavy, why did you stop halfway?" My daughter yelled at me. I hung on the steel cable and thought, "Yeah, who said that a small person can't fly the Yellow River?" I still don't understand what happened.

Shapotou, the sound of camel bells, the long yellow sand, and the turbulent Yellow River. It catches the footsteps of quicksand. This is a model of "the Yellow River in the world is rich in Ningxia". The desert and the Yellow River meet here. Wei Ningping has become an oasis because of the nourishment and irrigation of the Yellow River. The Yellow River is feeding this area like a mother's milk. Magical land.

Shapotou is the last stop of our trip to Zhongwei. The moment I drove away from here, I still couldn't help but look back and take another look. This scene is unforgettable and memorable! ——In Shapotou, where the solitary smoke is straight in the desert and the sun is setting in the long river, we are "flying yellow and flourishing".

The big river rushes, surrounded by sand mountains, forming a different chapter.

The Great Wall stretches, and the lonely smoke in the desert is just an ordinary scene.

Grabbing the quicksand, the Jiuqu Yellow River enriched Zhongwei Ningxia.

Flying yellow and flourishing, the golden wings spread their wings and passed down through the ages.

At noon, depart from Zhongwei and go to Yinchuan along the northern line, passing through the boundless Gobi of Alxa League in Inner Mongolia, another kind of desolation and magnificence. I was thinking - why does this land far away from the Central Plains embrace mountains, rivers, wetlands and deserts? And why did the legend of "half Jiangnan, half desert" be written?

Why is Ningxia, which includes "mountains, basins, plains, terraces, canyons, wetlands, loess hills, deserts, plateaus..." so incredible, and has been a place of contention between farming peoples and nomadic peoples since ancient times? We will go to the Yinchuan Plain at the foot of Helan Mountain to continue looking for answers.

Day05: 2021/5/4——Journey to the desert and the Yellow River (Xiao Zixia from the Western Studios of Zhenbeibao)

It was yesterday evening that I first met Zhenbeibao Western Studios. As the sun set and the dusk gradually approached, the scarlet letters of "Zhenbeibao Western Studios" were particularly eye-catching on the seven camel skins. The dilapidated city wall is full of desolation; the Helan Mountain in the distance is majestic and majestic. The night wind gradually picked up, the flags on the city wall were still flying, and the tourists in the city wall gradually dispersed. Looking in through the gate against the flow of people, it is desolate, dilapidated, simple and folk, without pavilions, palaces and other gardens, neither gorgeous nor exquisite, but more integrated with the characteristics of the Northwest, but Chinese movies start from here to the world.

It was early this morning to enter the Western Studios of Zhenbei Fort. As the sun rises and the morning light gradually emerges, the streets of Qingcheng, Mingcheng and Old Yinchuan take us from modern times to history, and from reality to the screen. More than a hundred classic films have been born here, and my daughter loves "Journey to the West" alone. Last night, my daughter specially watched the movie "A Chinese Journey to the West". She liked Fairy Zixia's generosity and beauty, playfulness and frankness. It was a pity that Supreme Treasure wearing a golden hoop could not be with Zixia. She couldn't figure out why Supreme Treasure had to follow her. The long-winded Tang Sanzang went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, and he half-understood those classic lines——

"My ideal person is an unrivaled hero. One day he will step on the colorful auspicious clouds to marry me. I guessed the beginning, but I can't guess the ending..."

"I once had a sincere love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. I didn't regret it until I lost it. There is nothing more painful than this in the world..."

Qingcheng is my daughter's favorite. There are Westward Journey and Zixia Fairy here. Entering the gate of Qingcheng, the daughter is dressed in red, with a red belt and hair tied up, transforming into a little purple cloud, and walking across the world with a sword. The quaint streets, decorated with lanterns and festoons, are bustling and bustling; the sandy city walls, with banners fluttering, show a desolate spirit. Under the city gate is the place where Zixia expressed her love to Supreme Treasure in the market, and Fairy Zixia shed a tear in Supreme Treasure's heart; At the same time, the soul of the Supreme Treasure made the warrior and Athena Zhu Yin stay close to each other. In the familiar but strange, strange but familiar scenes, I feel like I am in the movie.

In the backyard of the Niu Mansion, by the wall of the Vermilion Courtyard, under the Ziqing Sword, there was the most "exciting" lie of the Supreme Treasure, which will also be the most painful lie in the future. We impromptuly posed for photos with great interest, the little Zixia must show her sharpness, and the big Zhizunbao is full of naivety. When Zhizunbao said the words of loving you for ten thousand years, the first time he said it was to lie to Zixia, and the second time he said it was from the heart. In the face of fate, fate also seems so vulnerable. God didn't give him another chance. He stepped on the colorful clouds to save Zixia, but he had to put on a tight band and walk on the road to learn Buddhist scriptures.

Qingcheng shows the bustling and prosperous scenery of the Yinchuan Plain, and Ming Dynasty embodies the primitive and desolate appearance of the foothills of Helan Mountain. On the high hillside, the daughter drew her sword against the wind and sang Yue Fei's "Man Jianghong". The sword pointed directly at Helan Mountain——

Angry, resting in the rain. Lift our sight, the sky and shouts, grand, vehement. Thirty fame and dust, eight thousand miles of road, cloud and moon. Don't wait, the boy's head is white, empty and sad.

The shame of Jingkang is still unsettled; when will the hatred of courtiers disappear? Drive a long car and step through the gap in Helan Mountain. The aspirations eat the meat of the Hulu hungry, and laugh and talk about drinking the blood of the Huns when they are thirsty. Be from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, overturned Que.

The simple, rough, desolate and primitive town of Zhenbeibao West Studios in the desert was originally a frontier fortress in ancient China. Now, the Chinese stories from ancient times to the present written and directed by the directors, under the watchful eyes of the mighty Helan and accompanied by the camel bells, have created an immortal legend of Chinese screen film and television.

postscript:

If you want to experience the grandeur of China's geography in the shortest possible time, you have to go to Ningxia.

With only 66,000 square kilometers of land, Ningxia is one of the smallest provinces in China, where China's three major climate zones meet and transition—Ningxia spans the eastern monsoon region and the northwest arid region, and the southwest is close to the Qinghai-Tibet alpine region. The unique geographical location makes Ningxia one of the most colorful places in China. Deserts, rivers, grasslands, mountains, plains, canyons, hills... almost all types of landforms can be seen here.

In addition to enjoying the mountains and rivers, another great pleasure of walking in Ningxia is that as long as you have a little knowledge of geography and history, you will always sigh "so it is here" in Ningxia - the "Great Wall" spanning various historical periods in China ", Wang Wei wrote Shapotou where "the desert is solitary, the long river is full of sun", Yue Fei longed for the Helan Mountain that a long car would break through, and Fan Zhongyan's relegation to Yueyang was also related to his defeat in Ningxia...

"Ningxia has two peaks, and the Yellow River is on the east and Helan Mountain is on the west." Although Ningxia is small, it plays an extremely important role in China's geographical space and historical axis. Connected, with one river (Yellow River) and two mountains (Helan Mountain, Liupan Mountain) as the basic background, it outlines the most exciting and special Ningxia story. The Helan Mountains keep out the cold and the Yellow River irrigates. Helan Mountain prevented the Tengger Desert from engulfing the land and weakened the cold air of Siberia going south; the Yellow River water became gentle and plump after passing through the Heishan Gorge and entering Ningxia. A set of riches" first flows eastward through the Weining Plain, then turns north through the Qingtong Gorge, and enters the flat and wide Yinchuan Plain. The Yellow River has enriched the Weining Plain and the Yinchuan Plain, and the Yellow River has become a natural link between Ningxia and China. Half of Jiangnan and half of Mobei bloom on the land of Ningxia in another form. There is me in you, and you in me. Here, there is a combination of barren and green everywhere.

Ningxia, which is suitable for both agriculture and animal husbandry, has aroused the yearning of various ministries for fertile aquatic plants, and at the same time, it has also brought wars and disturbances. The competition for water and soil between nomadic tribes and agricultural peoples made the ancient Great Wall in Ningxia almost coincide with the iso-precipitation line. The Xixia Dynasty was very prosperous for a while, until Genghis Khan was born, and the overlord of the Northwest ushered in the end-thousands of miles were almost desolate. Today, only the bare wreckage of the Xixia King's Mausoleum stands in the wilderness. And a generation of Tianjiao also fell on the road to conquer Xixia and died of illness in Liupan Mountain. The Mongols took the meaning of "peace and tranquility in the summer land" and set Ningxia Road, and the place name of Ningxia appeared in history for the first time.

Zhongning's goji berry and Yinchuan's wine seem to have become the most unique touch of Ningxia red in Helan Mountain. Ningxia returned without eating sheep, which is the most powerful explanation for Ningxia mutton.

Ningxia is not big, but it grabs the footsteps of quicksand and slows down the speed of the Yellow River.

Ningxia is not big, but it has the most beautiful desert in China;

Ningxia is not big, but it has the most beautiful starry sky in China;

Ningxia is not big, but it has the first line of the Yellow River in the world;

Ningxia is not big, but it has the most Great Wall in China;

Ningxia is not big, but it has China's Route 66.

Ningxia is not big, so you may be able to finish it after driving for a day;

Ningxia is very large, with a history of 5,000 years, and it is impossible to talk about it in a lifetime.

Meiyu flawless backgammon.
