In the afterglow, two long figures cast on the silent street, walking hurriedly.
It only takes 40 minutes to take subway line 4 from home to the train station.
Entering the station, security check, the station at night is as noisy as it is during the day.

Gradually fall asleep amidst the rhythmic sound of the rails and wheels colliding, and when you open your eyes again, the vast expanse of fields becomes the scenery on the window.
The distant mountains flashed into our sight, and the grass on the mountains seemed to have not yet turned green, and the endless stretches were desolate and monotonous brown.
Fortunately, the continuous farmland at the foot of the mountain is green in vertical and horizontal rows, and the picture becomes vivid.
The train arrived on time, plugging Jiangnan, here we come.
Looking at Yinchuan Railway Station from a distance, the exterior is stretched and straight, and the shape of the central arch has smooth lines, just like a blooming lotus flower, fresh and gratifying.
There is a beautiful city sculpture on the square opposite the railway station, which is the Malan flower, the city flower of Yinchuan.
Go straight to the convention and exhibition center near People's Square to receive the competition package. Dafang took a physical fitness test in the product display area of Jordan, the sponsor of the marathon, and his endurance is very good.
It coincides with the 80kg class bodybuilder and Miss Bikini trials, and the love of beauty makes gentlemen and ladies stop.
A good figure is born, and a great figure is made.
The great figure is the most eye-catching program at this marathon expo.
The hotel was booked on Ctrip two months ago, and there are no vacant rooms today. The hotel is in a business district, so it is very convenient for eating or shopping.
It is only more than two kilometers away from the starting point of the Convention and Exhibition Center. The price is close to the people, and Ctrip also offers discounts, which is perfect.
It was almost one o'clock at noon, and it was time to eat. According to the principle of proximity, the straight-line distance from the hotel was no more than 500 meters. I found a casserole restaurant that was thriving.
That's it~ Ma Laosan Yipin casserole.
It's so delicious, one pot of mutton and one pot of beef can be eaten up. In addition, Jinhe yogurt in glass bottles is recommended. The sourness and sweetness of Longshun Rong’s plum juice are slightly lighter than those of Xi’an Huifang.
Go back to the hotel for a rest, and in the afternoon, go for a walk near the convention and exhibition center. On Shanghai West Road, I ran into several groups of foreign athletes who were familiarizing themselves with the marathon track. Is this the seed player who is going to win the championship tomorrow? No matter how tall or short, they are all black and thin.
Walking on the red fitness path in Phoenix Park, I saw magpies again. You can see these lovely birds everywhere in Yinchuan.
It turns out that the magpie is the city bird of Yinchuan.
Tall poplar trees surround the Phoenix Column in the center of the park. The surface of the column is decorated with reliefs of phoenixes of various shapes. The most beautiful phoenix on the top of the column intends to spread its wings and fly.
Yinchuan, an ancient city on the top of the plug, was populated by humans as early as 30,000 years ago at the Shuidonggou site. It was the capital of the Xixia Dynasty in history. It is also called "Phoenix City" in folklore, where the Phoenix is as sacred as a totem.
Pass through the central fitness track of Phoenix Park and come to Qinshui Street. Such a beautiful street reminds people of the origin of the name Yinchuan.
(Late Ming and early Qing Dynasty. Some officials and literati used "Yinchuan" to describe the scenery of the water town with sparkling water and sunny water when they chanted the beautiful scenery of Ningxia plain where ditches and ditches intertwined like a net and lakes intertwined. Such as "overlooking Proceed to Hetao with camel bells, and take Yinchuan to Helan from afar."
During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, the word "Yinchuan" gradually had the meaning of a place name referring to a region.
In 1944, the provincial capital of Ningxia, now the site of Yinchuan City, was changed to an official city, officially named "Yinchuan", and the place name is still in use today. )
The Disciplinary Committee of the Autonomous Region is here, and the lake is shining under the setting sun, which is worthy of the reputation of "the south of the Yangtze River".
Running a horse here, will it feel like a phoenix spreading its wings?
Dinner is old Wei's home kneading noodles, the gluten is good, the soup is delicious, and the accompaniment drink ~ Dayao Chengnuo.

Take a look at the horse racing breakfast, which was swept back from the supermarket downstairs of the hotel.
Although it is Dafang's tenth marathon, the anticipation of the horse race is still the same as in the period of passionate love, very excited.
The temperature is around 22 degrees, the blue sky is a suitable weather for horse racing.
In order to cooperate with the candidates for the second-level construction engineer qualification examination to arrive at the examination room smoothly, the starting time was postponed for half an hour, and the race started at 8 o'clock.
My happy run is only three kilometers, and the hydrophilic square at the end is also very lively.
Rhythm and vitality are everywhere, let us scream together.
Say goodbye to the wolfberry dolls on the Yellow River East Road, walk into the Ningxia Museum, and spend an hour to appreciate the ancient Xixia civilization.
Women love to gossip, and secretly took a picture of a gossip bottle in a museum.
This is the People's Square that we walked many times.
Ningxia Museum is located in Chengtian Temple on the east side of People’s Square East Road, Jinfeng District, Yinchuan City. Its predecessor was the Preparatory Office of Ningxia Geological Museum. At the end of 2005, the new museum invested more than 200 million yuan. Ningxia has more than 40,000 years of culture from ancient times to the present. Culture and multiculturalism with great ethnic characteristics are displayed in a space of 3,000 square meters.
With its dignified appearance, novel display and advanced facilities, the new museum is very popular among the audience.
The Ningxia Grand Theater next to it is very eye-catching because of its beautiful lotus shape.
Ningxia Museum, Ningxia People's Theater, Ningxia Library and Yinchuan Culture and Art Center form a beautiful square. This cultural square located on the east side of People's Square is called the "big living room" of Ningxia culture by foreign media.
Congratulations to student Dafang for finishing the race successfully, the tenth half marathon ended perfectly.
Waiting for classmate Dafang in the square of the Convention and Exhibition Center, massage after the game has become a must for him.
At noon, I went to Laomao handchow (Gulou main store), which was strongly recommended by the competition organizing committee, half a catty of hand chow, half a catty of sheep neck, a portion of fried noodles, and a good appetite came out.
In the old city of Yinchuan, check in Yuhuangge, the former "Zhongshan Daily". I like the collection of porcelain plates in Yuhuang Pavilion.
Check out South Gate Square, a miniature version of Tiananmen Square. Yinchuan people's love for the motherland and Beijing is concentrated here.
Punch in the most beautiful mosque in the northwest, the Yinchuan Nanguan Mosque with a history of 400 years.
This mosque covering an area of 20 mu was rebuilt in 2008 and raised more than 7 million yuan. The Arabic architectural style makes it the most distinctive mosque among the seven mosques in Ningxia. The main hall is 26 meters high. It can accommodate 1,300 people to worship, and it is a holy place in the hearts of the Hui people in Ningxia.
Take the train at 8:30 in the evening and arrive home the next morning.
We must thank the volunteers, police officers, medical staff, photographers, and masseuses in the post-race recovery area who served for this marathon.
I even got a photo during the happy run, I feel so beautiful!
