Someone said, "Only when a person is traveling, can he hear his own voice. It will tell you that the world is wider than you think. Your life will not have no exit, and you will find that you have a pair of wings, and you don't have to go through any People can fly with their consent." My work was affected, and the little monster in my heart was ready to move. I was confused and at a loss. I thought that if I didn't push myself to a desperate situation, how could I be reborn. Resolutely resigned from the job that he had worked for for almost 2 years, and left the place where he never had the courage to leave. The older you get, the more lonely you become. There is always one body and soul on the way. So, I started a journey without any worries and plans. Why do you say there is no plan, because this is something outside the plan, and it is also the freedom that I have always yearned for. I spend a lot of time on the road, and this kind of departure without considering the return date is not a few days ago. Dare to hope. Many people feel that the climate in November should be like a bird flying back to the south in search of warmth. Maybe I am a southerner. Although I did not grow up in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River, I also grew up in the beautiful mountains and rivers. In this way, I once had a special liking for the desert scenery in the northwest. So, even though it was already cold in the northwest, I stubbornly set out on the road.
Traveling alone is more quiet. Wandering on the street, not going anywhere, not seeing anything, not saying anything, not thinking about anything. On the first day in Yinchuan, I chose to go shopping in the city. The temperature in Yinchuan in November is a bit low, and a little wind blows, and it feels biting. But the sky is blue and white, and the sun is shining. Really unexpected warmth. Walking in unfamiliar streets and alleys, not knowing where the next intersection will turn, I am full of curiosity about this strange street scenery. For a road idiot like me, walking so blindly will sooner or later get lost. Therefore, I selected a few destinations selectively in advance, starting with the most distinctive Great Mosque in Yinchuan, to Chengtian Temple (also known as West Tower) recommended by many people, and then to the representative Drum Tower and Pedestrian Street, South Gate Plaza, the last stop went to Zhongshan Park.
D1——One-day tour in the city:
Nanguan Mosque, located on the west side of Yuhuangge South Street, Xingqing District, Yinchuan City, was built in the late Ming Dynasty. The current Nanguan Mosque was rebuilt in 1980, covering an area of 2,074 square meters. It has obvious Islamic architectural style and distinctive national characteristics. This is a place that many people would recommend, but it is much smaller than expected, but the first time I saw this kind of Islamic architecture, I was quite shocked.
In November, which is as cold as winter, there are still small flowers blooming in a small corner of the courtyard, which adds a lot of beauty. I, who always like plants, will be inexplicably moved~!
After leaving the mosque, there are small Muslim shops outside. This kind of shop can be seen everywhere in Yinchuan. I wanted to go in and buy some small things as souvenirs, but I found that there are things related to religion. The connotation is too deep, and there are really no random things to buy~!
A few streets away, you will see another mosque. Perhaps this is the characteristic of Yinchuan.
Arriving at the bustling pedestrian street, the fashion sense of business suddenly hits. But the building still has a little Islamic style~!
There are also words on the street signs. There are many aunts selling corn on the trail, and I happened to get lost at that time. When I was buying corn, I asked for directions, and she told me in a dialect that she couldn't read. I don't know the way. . . . .
This is Nanmen Square. Before I went there, I really didn't expect it to be a place similar to Tiananmen.
Sita among the trees. The tower is more than 20 floors high.
One person worked very hard to climb more than 20 floors in the tower. Before going upstairs, the uncle who guarded the tower told me that climbing up was very tiring, otherwise you should not climb up if you are a girl. How can this stop me? In fact, I made the right choice. The scenery above proves that I really did not climb in vain. Climb the pagoda and look far away. The last time I climbed was in the Zhao Gongming God of Wealth Temple in Xi'an.
Although Yinchuan is as cold as winter in November, the scenery is as drunk as autumn. If you don’t believe me, keep looking down and you’ve blinded me. Hehe~!
Beautiful autumn golden leaves, sprinkled all over the ground, sitting on a chair in the small temple, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon, it may be the off-season, and there was almost no one else in the temple except me. In an unfamiliar environment, such a scene made him extremely powerful.
There are a lot of pigeons in the square. I bought pigeon food and fed them leisurely, as if in a fairy tale. In the evening, I ate local specialties near the Bell and Drum Tower. Although I didn't eat a bite, the eight-treasure tea was still very good.
The traffic in Yinchuan is commendable. BRT is also convenient.
D2——China Homecoming Cultural Park
Before I came to Yinchuan, I saw some pictures of netizens on the Internet, and only a few pictures attracted me. On the second day of going to Yinchuan, I couldn't wait to set off to recall the Cultural Park. During my trip to Yinchuan, what impressed me the most was the convenience of local transportation. Whether it is a bus, a taxi, or a CMB coach, there are always too many people on the bus, and I can’t squeeze the bus in Xi’an all the year round. I take a taxi and join the RP. This makes me feel extremely satisfied. It is convenient for a person to travel freely in different places. Checked the route online and set off.
Take the No. 302 bus directly from Yinchuan Nanmen Square, pay 1 yuan, and you can take a seat at the starting point. The end point goes directly to the gate of the Chinese Homecoming Cultural Garden, and it is only when we reach the end that we find out how valuable the 1 yuan fare is. The Cultural Park is located in Yongning County below Yinchuan City, next to the Yongning Exit of the Beijing-Tibet Expressway. I have to praise the bus for being so convenient~! ~! Next to it is a very old and famous Najiahu Mosque, and nearby is the Najiahu Village with strong Hui customs. This is the only tourist attraction in my country with the theme of Hui culture. As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the scenic spot, I was shocked by its atmosphere~! It is a characteristic building full of Islamic decorative charm. In the park, there are the Great Unity Performing Arts Square, the main gate tower, the Holy Square, the Hui Museum, the Folk Village, the Golden Etiquette Hall, the Performing Arts Hall (Aisha Palace), the Muslim restaurant (Mansour Palace ). Among them, the Hui Nationality Museum is the largest Hui Nationality Museum in the country. In the museum, you can visit the exhibitions of the Hui Nationality's history and culture, appreciate the Hui Nationality's characteristic cultural relics, and feel the Hui Nationality's innovative spirit of advancing with the times. The tour guide will explain it very carefully, as long as you listen patiently , can gain a lot of things. There are too many words and it is annoying to look at, dear friends, let’s just look at the pictures~!
This is the extremely shocking main gate building~!
In the process of walking along the historical corridor, you can appreciate the long history of the Hui nationality and the extensive and profound culture of the Hui nationality. The museum is divided into five exhibition halls: Exhibition Hall No. 1 is "Historical Origin of Hui Nationality in China"; Exhibition Hall No. 2 is "Contribution of Islamic Civilization to World Civilization"; Exhibition Hall No. 3 is "Formation and Customs of Hui Nationality in China"; It is "Hui nationality's contribution to the history of Chinese civilization"; the fifth exhibition hall is "Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region".
Below is the golden etiquette hall, which is high-end and upscale, and the inside is also resplendent. Slippers are required to enter the hall, and women must wrap their veils~!
Folk Village
After leaving the Cultural Park, the Guzhen Street next to it
The Najiahu mosque is smaller than expected. But it has a long history, and the old ones can't be said~!
D3——Mingcui Lake,
It has been said that Shahu and Shapotou should choose one to go. For the two scenic spots, the time in November is very embarrassing. After all, it is a tourist attraction in summer. The sand lake is for watching birds, flowers, and playing in the water. Compared with the larger deserts, I still choose Shapotou. Just because Shapotou is far away, I made it the last stop. It is inevitable to regret not going to swim in a lake, so I checked some information on the Internet. It turns out that there is a relatively famous lake not far from Yinchuan City—Mingcui Lake. It is the largest natural wetland reserve in the east of Yinchuan City, and it is also a historical relic of the ancient Yellow River moving eastward to the west edge of the Ordos Platform. , the grass and trees are smoky, the birds are flying together, and the fish are jumping among them. From a distance, the water herons are flying together, and the wind and the lotus are always turning up close." This is the evaluation on the Internet. So I checked the route and took the No. 10 bus at the South Gate. That day was the most difficult day for me to go to Yinchuan. When I arrived at the South Gate, I searched all the bus stops near the South Gate, but I couldn't find the No. 10 bus. In the end, I planned to give up, so I took a taxi and took a turn if I wanted to. After getting in the car, I asked the driver by the way, and the master said that it would cost less than 30 yuan to take a taxi~! I still didn't want my plan to fail, so I went directly. The sad thing is that I was stuck on the road in the suburbs as soon as I walked out of the city. Encountered a serious traffic accident ahead, and was blocked for more than an hour. It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived. After all, it is the off-season of tourism, and the entrance of the scenic spot and the inside of the scenic spot are under construction, presumably to prepare for spring and summer. Off-season tickets are 20.
I was the only tourist in the lake, and there was no sun that day, and it was windy, so it was very cold. All entertainment facilities and restaurants inside are closed. Reeds, dead grass, residual leaves, and distant birds chirping from time to time. Walking around alone, admiring the desolation of the land. It's really touching the scene, the loneliness of being alone hits instantly~! The weather was bad, and the filming was not satisfactory. But this place is still worth going~! Still have to go in spring and summer~!
D4——Western Film and Television City
Before I had no impression of Yinchuan, I already had a special impression of Western Film and Television City. You can see a lot of pictures about the Western Film and Television City on the Internet, but only when you look at it yourself, you realize that it is actually far richer than the pictures. It is worthy of being 5A, and it is worthy of being called "a must in China." It is really a strange, majestic, desolate, tragic, dilapidated, decaying and undefeated scene.
The bus to the Western Film and Television City is also very convenient. You can take the bus directly to the Western Film and Television City next to the Nanguan Mosque. It takes 8 minutes and the ticket is 7 yuan, which is very convenient. When you come back, you can sit at the entrance of the scenic spot~!

10 Old Yinchuan Road
I took a lot of pictures here, because it was too fun, so many of them were portraits, but I didn’t take many landscapes, but most of them are still there, so I won’t introduce them one by one. Check your seats and see if you can deny it.
D5——Shapotou
Since I was in school, I fell in love with Sanmao. After reading the Sahara described by her, I felt a desert plot in my heart, and I longed for someone like "Jose" to accompany me on adventures. Shapotou is located 16 kilometers west of Zhongwei City, Ningxia. It takes more than three hours to drive from Yinchuan to get here. It is part of the Tengger Desert. Since I was a child, I have memorized the two lines of poems "Long smoke in the desert is straight, the sun is falling in the long river", but it was only after I arrived in Shapotou that I realized that Wang Wei wrote the famous lines through the ages while standing in Shapotou.
Friends who have watched "Where Are We Going, Dad" must be familiar with Shapotou. Let's go to the picture~!
Departing from Yinchuan early in the morning, the beautiful sunrise reflects a good mood. . . The joy of the journey and the expectation of the beautiful scenery are still unforgettable.
Shapotou Scenic Area is divided into the Yellow River area and the desert area. The desert oasis here in the Yellow River area, watching the mother river, playing sheepskin rafts.
Go through the culvert into the desert area. The highest point is the Wangwei Observation Deck. and sandboarding.
There are many activities in the desert area. Camel riding and desert surfing are highly recommended. Many of them are not opened in the off-season.
This pleasant trip to Ningxia is over! Looking forward to seeing you again in this beautiful place in the future!
