Ningxia 3-day tour - China Travel

I have long wanted to appreciate the beauty of Ningxia, and finally made the decision to go. After a long time of planning with my girlfriends, we finally started our journey to the Northwest.
Ningxia has entered the peak tourist season from the end of April, so our student party decided to take a trip in the off-season. We have pre-booked special air tickets and divided it into 4 days. After consulting most of the information on the Internet, we decided on the shape of our trip to Ningxia. Procedure.

Day 3: West Xia King's Mausoleum, Helan Mountain Rock Painting Town, Beibao West Film and Television City
Day 4: Return

first day

Youth Hotel

Master Yinchuan is very enthusiastic. The first thing to solve on this itinerary is the problem of vehicles and accommodation. Since the scenic spots in Yinchuan are relatively large, I and my best friend don’t want to choose a chartered car because of the constant transfer of boats and cars. If you charter a car, you won’t If you are in such a hurry to visit the scenic spots, the driver will wait patiently for you to finish playing before heading to the next scenic spot, so if you don’t want to be so tired and rush, just choose a chartered car decisively. During our trip to Ningxia, we got along very well with the driver. Harmonious, the master is also very nice, and will recommend us where to eat and where to play.
The accommodation is at the G night youth hostel on Funing South Street. The location is very good. It is very close to the South Gate Square of the Gulou because it is the off-season and there are very few people living here. The decoration is located in a community and there is a cute little yellow dog

The first day: We arrived at Hedong Airport at 12:25 noon. The intensity of ultraviolet rays in Yinchuan is still very high. Dear friends, you must pay attention to sun protection, gauze scarves and masks. You must need them in Yinchuan. The master of the plane will pick us up and we will I went to Shuidonggou without stopping.

Shuidonggou Scenic Area

This is Shuidonggou. The scenic spot is very, very large. It is similar to the site museum. It is more humanistic and historical. It is worth visiting. Here are a series of pictures. Hehe

The fast food restaurant outside Shuidonggou, the dumplings are very delicious, haha, very suitable for our heavy taste in Wuhan, the boss even gave us soup with a smile

Shuidonggou Scenic Area

The Tibetan soldier cave is very good, it has the feeling of the old times

After visiting the Cangbing Cave, it was already around 6 o'clock in the northwest. It was dark at about 8 o'clock, so we went back to pack our luggage. After we came out of the Cangbing Cave, we were blown by the wind and sand because we were not prepared in advance. My face, mouth and mouth are full of sand haha I’ve been full of sand all day, dear friends, you must take protective measures, and if the Northwest is especially dry, you must bring body lotion, wipe your hands and face, and wipe your body. The more the better, because we Without naked skin cracked by dry weather
Decided to go out for food at night and regretted it as soon as I went out! It is the habit of Great Yinchuan! It closes early at night, almost all the shops are closed, and it is the same when walking to the urban area. Later, I was confused and asked the driver. He said that the permanent population of Yinchuan is relatively small and there are few adults, so it looks empty, and the temperature difference between day and night in Yinchuan is very large. It can be fine at noon. Reaching more than 20 degrees in the morning and below zero in the morning and evening, it can freeze our children in the south. It is not easy to find food. In the end, I bought a meat bun on the side of the road and ate it, but the taste is really good.

the next day

Because it takes about 3 hours to go to Shapotou in Zhongwei, so we got up at 7 o'clock in the morning, hehe
I randomly found a breakfast shop and ate the most amazing tofu nao I ate in Yinchuan. Because in Hubei, where I live, our tofu nao is sweet, so I tried their tofu nao. Let me talk about the tofu nao in Yinchuan. What's in it? They are pickled vegetables, coriander, houttuynia cordata and garlic! ! The taste is absolutely amazing. It’s so weird. My best friend drank it a few times and said it’s good, but I’m just not used to the taste of Houttuynia cordata. It’s so weird! But friends who are brave enough to try can go and experience it. Hey, after all, it is a characteristic of the Northwest.

shapotou

Tickets for Shapotou attractions are divided into many types. We chose the 285 package, which includes a lot of transportation, sand boarding, sheepskin raft, camel speedboat, desert off-roading. The most impressive thing is that desert off-roading is really passionate. There will be a conductor sitting on you There are guides next to you, but you are still the one who controls the speed
Then there is sand boarding, which is very fun.

shapotou

There are many amusement facilities in Shapotou. If you want to play all of them, it still takes a lot of time and energy. Hey, we played for about 4 hours, and my best friend felt almost paralyzed. On the return trip, I started to sleep soundly in the car

third day

In the past few days in Yinchuan, I got up earlier than a rooster and went to bed later than a pig. It was another day when I got up early. On the recommendation of the driver, we went to several scenic spots in Yinchuan that most people choose. First, we went to the Tomb of the Western Xia Dynasty.
In fact, the Xixia King’s Mausoleum is really nothing to see. There are 3 tomb piles and there are almost no people when we go there in the off-season. But after reading the introduction of the History Museum, I found that the Xixia Kingdom is still very rich. The tomb of the founding emperor Li Yuanhao has Fengshui and its location It's absolutely perfect. It must be great to be close to Helan Mountain.

Western Xia Royal Tombs

There was a small episode when I was visiting the Xixia King’s Tomb. When I was taking pictures of my best friend, my best friend threw her mobile phone on the ground and forgot when she walked away. Later, when the tour was over, a tour guide asked us what we lost. We have to say that I have been to so many tourist cities. What impressed me the most is the simplicity and kindness of the people in the Northwest. It may be that the harsh environment has created their optimistic spirit or their natural optimism. Walking on the streets of Yinchuan Everyone will go to the store with a smile on their faces to buy things, no matter what age they are, they will talk to you with a smile, which is definitely incomparable in the city I live in. I will always be the first to pay attention to their daily life in every city I visit Living habits in Yinchuan have no night life. The harsh environment has created their strong character. This is the spirit of the Great Northwest.

After visiting the Xixia King's Mausoleum, we went to the rock paintings of Helan Mountain. These three scenic spots are relatively close, so you don't need to be too anxious about time, and you are very rushed, so don't waste this energy to hold the tour, or you will lose the original purpose of the tour. The rock paintings of Helan Mountain are relatively natural places. Helan Mountain blocks Inner Mongolia and Ningxia. Crossing Helan Mountain is the Alxa Left Banner in Inner Mongolia.

Helan Mountain Rock Paintings

There are blue sheep on Helan Mountain. If you are lucky enough, you can see it. Its skin color and the color of the mountain are almost integrated. Haha, a tourist walking in front of me even shouted loudly to attract the attention of blue sheep. They still don't care at all haha

Helan Mountain Rock Paintings

Next is the relatively famous 5A-level scenic spot, Zhenbeibao Western Film and Television City.

Zhenbeibao Western Film and Television City

Do you remember "I'm waiting for my man to come back and pick me up God, since it is arranged that he can pull out my purple and green sword, he must be an extraordinary person. He will appear in a high-profile situation wearing a golden armor and holy clothes feet. Stepping on the colorful clouds to marry me is not crazy, it is an ideal"
"I once had a sincere feeling in front of me. I didn't cherish it. I regretted it when I lost it. The most painful thing in the world is this. If God can give me another chance, I will say three things to that girl. The word I love you, if I have to add a time limit to this love, I hope it will be 10,000 years"
Classics can never be surpassed, no matter how many times I watch it again, I will always be moved to cry

Zhenbeibao Western Film and Television City

As a follower of the fifth generation director, the director style has always been my pursuit. In my early works, I was close to the countryside, and the feudal life tended to be more serious. As a media student at school, hehe, of course I have to make up for the scenes of red sorghum.

This is the end of today's three scenic spots. I will return to Wuhan tomorrow. I decided to have a good meal in the evening, but I have been in Yinchuan for several days! Finally, at the last moment, I couldn't hold on to the cold and vomiting. I have to say that I have to eat mutton despite the pain. The mutton in Ningxia is really good. It is very tender and the price is very low. Haha, if you are a foodie, you must report on time. Here comes a very special big surprise!

Final summary Walking in the Northwest, going to Ningxia. The mysterious and unique beauty of the desert always adds a bit of strength and tenacity to the city of Yinchuan. Everyone waits for you with a smile and welcomes you. Come on, beautiful Yinchuan! you are welcome
