There is a kind of encounter called to go out for a walk. If you walk, your vision will be wider; if you walk, your mind will be calmer; Each style has its own unique historical context and cultural heritage. They have become branches of the mighty Chinese civilization. However, our understanding of the Northwest is still too superficial. Except for a few important fulcrums (scenic spots), the vast Northwest gives people the impression of desolation and roughness. The images in our classical poems are mostly deserts, lone geese, camel bells, Qiang flutes... Most of the images in our memories are gold and iron horses on ancient battlefields, full of historical sighs, full of pride for defending the country, and breathing out the grievances of homesickness... Come to Ningxia for a walk-and-go tour, and redefine the Northwest style.
