Ningxia, as the hometown of Xixia, is a place with a long history, rich culture, and magnificent scenery. It is also a relatively low-key place. In terms of tourism popularity, it is far inferior to Xinjiang and Tibet, which are also located in the northwest. Even Qinghai and Gansu are hard to match. When it comes to food, it goes without saying that it is comparable to the eight major cuisines, and there are not many signature dishes that are famous all over the country. People only know that it is the north, a place where beef, mutton and pasta are eaten. However, when we actually entered Ningxia, we realized that there are many mouth-watering delicacies in every place and every meal here. Taking the Chinese food we ate in Wuzhong today as an example, several delicacies are unique to the local area. And the flavor is unique, Yu Fan took a group of photos casually and shared them with everyone.
