A group of 4 people (my mother, my husband, my baby, and me)

Yinchuan, Zhongwei, and Xi'an played for a total of 9 days

The specific itinerary is as follows:


Day 1: South Gate Square, Zhongshan Park, Drum Tower, Pedestrian Street

Fly from Changsha to Yinchuan, get off the plane and take a taxi to Yinchuan 101 Express Hotel. The hotel is booked online in advance and is relatively cheap. It is only 358 yuan for 4 nights. The hotel is in the old city, just at Nanmen Square side. The four of us took a taxi for about 60 yuan. The airport bus seems to be 20 yuan per person. If you are alone, you can take the airport bus. Get off at the Civil Aviation Building and walk to the hotel, not far away.

After putting away the luggage in the hotel, I went to the nearby South Gate Square to see the so-called "Little Tiananmen".

I went to see the Nanguan Mosque again, but it was closed due to the epidemic. I originally planned to go to Nanguan Mosque, Chengtian Temple Pagoda, and Haibao Pagoda. Because of the epidemic, all temples cannot be entered, which is a pity. I went to Ningxia Niujie next door to find a restaurant that eats haggis for lunch, and the four of us ordered a bowl of haggis (because it’s the first time I went to Northwest and I don’t know if I’m used to the food, so I ordered a bowl first to try, If you can, place another order) Prove that the decision is correct, I really can't eat it, it's too coquettish! ! ! Seeing the sheep’s head on the table next to me, I had the urge to order it, but I was held back by them: Didn’t I see that their onions are all eaten raw, you can’t eat raw onions and You can't stand the smell of haggis. It's not a waste to order it if no one eats it. Okay~~ I agreed with my mouth, thinking that I must order a sheep's head next time, haha. Yogurt and twist snacks are good~~


After eating, I took the bus to Zhongshan Park (it was not included in the itinerary plan, because it was only half a day in the afternoon, and it was too late to go to other attractions). There is a zoo inside, and the ticket is only 20 yuan! Although the variety of animals is not as good as that of a large zoo, the 20 yuan ticket is worth it, and children like it very much. There is also a square where you can feed pigeons, and the pigeon food is not expensive, only 2 yuan a bag


Taking children is to choose to be more leisurely, don't follow the group, and don't rush the time. After playing in Zhongshan Park, I paid Didi for 7 yuan to go to the pedestrian street, saw the Drum Tower, went shopping, ate snacks, and then walked back to the hotel. I went to the Crane Tower to eat at night, and I was really not used to it. The special dish is hand-caught mutton, and you can't eat it after one bite, the smell is too strong. It's better to go to the Nanmen Square Night Market to eat. The grilled lamb skewers only cost 2.5 yuan a skewer, and the grilled oysters (recommended the first one to enter the door) are delicious and fresh! Sixtieth birthday vermicelli tastes good too. In the evening, you can also watch the square dance in Nanmen Square. . .


Day 2: Zhenbei Fort West Studios, Helan Mountain Rock Paintings

Walk a few minutes from the hotel to the bus station and take the bus (No. 316 fare 1 yuan) to the Yinchuan Tourist Bus Station. The original plan was to go to Shahu today, but there is only one bus to Shahu, and the departure time is 9:30. We went early and arrived at 8 o'clock. We changed our plan temporarily and took Didi (68 yuan) to Zhenbeibao West Cinema (ticket price 80 yuan). It is still good. For the first time to the northwest The place is still quite new. It will take a few hours to walk around in there non-stop. We didn’t come out until noon, and then took a Didi (25 yuan) to Helan Mountain Rock Painting (70 yuan). The scenery on the way is still good, just go to After seeing the petroglyphs in the scenic spot, I felt that there was no need to go there. I was not interested in this petroglyph, haha. Catch the tourist bus at 3:00 pm (15 yuan) and take it back to the city, then take Didi (7 yuan) back to the hotel (you can ask the conductor on the tourist bus to tell you to go to Nanmen Square, and ask her to leave Nanmen Square A bus a little closer will ask you to get off)


The picture below was taken on the way to Helan Mountain rock paintings

Rock paintings (there is a rock painting museum and Han Meilin Art Museum inside, if you are interested, you can go and see, we went in, but we are not interested, just take a look)


Day 3: Sand Lake

After knowing the departure time of the tourist bus station yesterday, I went to Shahu today to sleep a little later and arrived at the tourist bus station at nine o'clock.

Sand Lake is half lake and half sand. First take a boat, pass through patches of reeds and then reach the desert. You can play various projects, sand boarding, desert cross-country, camel, paragliding and so on. Because we planned to go to Zhongwei Shapotou later, we played a sandboarding project (30 yuan). Later, we found out that the sandboarding in Shahu Lake is only suitable for children when we arrived in Shapotou, haha. 3:00 or 3:30 in the tourist bus and then take the tourist bus back to the tourist bus station (20 yuan)

The weather was hotter on the day we went, and the sand was hotter, so you must wear appropriate shoes! There is also that kind of desert shoe cover, which can be bought online in advance and brought there. I didn't buy it, I don't think it's very useful, and I just want to experience it, haha


Day 4: Xixia Style Garden

I originally planned to go to Shuidonggou, because I heard from the locals that Shuidonggou is similar to Shahu Lake, and I planned to go to Shapotou, which is also sand, and the items to play are the same. There is no need to go to Shuidonggou again. So I temporarily changed my plan and went to Xixia Customs Garden (ticket price 60 yuan). Just take the bus directly (brt1 at the entrance of the hotel to Fuzhou Street, turn directly to 108 at the place where you get off and take the first and last bus stop in Xixia Square), the journey is relatively long, it takes 1 hour and 50 minutes, but it is cheap (2 yuan) ,Ha ha

The Xixia Style Garden is actually not big, the only thing worth seeing is the horse show (11:00 am, 4:30 pm), we were lucky to catch up with the 11:00 am show, and after watching the show, we can experience horse riding (30 yuan ), I experienced it, and I specifically told people to ride faster and want to ride more handsomely, but the result was slapped in the face, and I felt like I was about to be knocked off the horse. It was bumpy, if it wasn't for the tight grip, it would have really fallen off. But it's pretty good to experience it. The key is to participate and feel it, haha. The children experienced pottery, and the fee was 30 yuan. There is also a place to eat inside, and the taste is okay. There are also wineries, where you can taste the wine and see the vineyards where the wine is made. There is nothing else to go shopping, and many shops are not open, so I came back early in the afternoon.


Day 5: Zhongwei Gaomiao Baoan Temple, Tonghu Grassland in Alxa Left Banner, Inner Mongolia

Book a train ticket one day in advance, from Yinchuan to Zhongwei

Xiangshan Xiushui Hotel booked one day in advance (next to the train station)

I rented a car one day in advance and picked it up at Zhongwei Railway Station

It’s raining, just walk for 1 minute after getting off the train, arrive at the hotel, put your luggage, and then rest and have a meal. I found a gnawing beef bone shop - Su Lai’s special gnawing beef bones. Their gnawing beef bones are very good, and you can’t eat scallions. Get used to it (too much vinegar), eight treasure tea is too sweet! After dinner, I went back to the hotel to take a nap and then went to the Gaomiao Baoan Temple. I could go inside, but the temples inside were not open because of the epidemic. The scenery inside is quite good. After picking up the car at 4 o'clock, we drove directly to Tonghu Grassland. It was the first time I saw the grassland, seeing cattle, sheep and horses grazing, not to mention I was a little excited~~ Tonghu grassland also has deserts, and then I mainly watched that performance at night (by the way, Tonghu grassland plus performances can be booked online one day in advance The ticket is 150 yuan, and it is 180 yuan if you don’t book in advance) I watched a lot of performances, and it rained again, so I feel that the performance is average, but it has a bonfire dance, you can go up and dance around the bonfire, and feel it atmosphere.

(Note: It’s best to rent a car. It’s very late after watching the show, and they all come back by bus or car. The road is very empty. If you are traveling independently and don’t rent a car, you may find it difficult to get a taxi back)

There are yurts inside, places to eat, hot pot buffet or order. We ordered grilled lamb chops and pangasius etc. Grilled lamb chops are better than hand-caught lamb, at least grilled, not so showy~~)


Day 6: Zhongwei Shapotou

Because I have already gone to Shahu Lake and Tonghu Grassland, I have already seen the desert, so it is not so novel. It's just because Shapotou was popular about where Dad went, and it was difficult to come once, so we had to go and see.

There are many packages in Shapotou, you can buy different packages depending on what you want to play. Our online reservation in advance is 285 yuan including tickets, speedboat kayak combination, sand boarding, desert surf car, desert camel, battery car, glass bridge, shuttle bus, desert ladder.

In fact, the items that can be experienced are: speedboat kayak combination, sand boarding, desert surfing car, desert camel

The other glass bridges are meaningless. The desert ladder is just an escalator to go up or down, so you can save yourself from climbing.

If you are young or not a child under one meter, you don’t need to use a battery car at all, just take a speedboat and go back on a sheepskin raft.

After playing in Shapotou, return the car at the train station (put the luggage in the car when you return it in the morning) and then take the train back to Yinchuan. Book the Ruihao Theme Hotel (Yinchuan Drum Tower Pedestrian Street Branch) in Yinchuan in advance. There is a pedestrian street near the hotel, where you can go shopping eat. Because the plane flew to Xi'an early the next morning, I went back to the hotel to rest without shopping.


Day 7: Xi'an Datang Paradise, Datang Everbright City

Flying from Yinchuan to Xi'an in the morning (because there are relatives in Xi'an, so I live in relatives' house) after arriving, I took a rest and had lunch before I started to visit Datang Furong Garden. It is free now, and you need to make an appointment in WeChat~~ The inside is very big and the scenery is very good . If you are interested, you can watch the evening performance of Datang Furong Garden (it is quite expensive, the ticket price is more than 300 yuan, and the good area is thousands of dollars). We did not watch it. The Datang Everbright City (Xi’an Pedestrian Street) at night is very It looks good! pretty! This building, this light. . . It's so awesome! Among the cities I have been to, apart from the seaside places, if I still want to go inland, one is Chongqing, and the other is Xi'an!


Day 8: Terracotta Army, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Muslim Street

Buy tickets online one day in advance to see the terracotta warriors and horses. Many people say that they regret not seeing the terracotta warriors and horses when they come to Xi’an, and they regret it even more after seeing the terracotta warriors and horses. Haha, indeed, for those of us who don't understand, there is nothing to see. Big Wild Goose Pagoda can go to see, recommended! Huimin Street is for food

Day 9: Seoul Lake Park

On the day I was going to come back, I went to Hancheng Lake for a walk, that is, I went to the park. My mother and my cub took a photo of ancient costumes at Hancheng Lake.

Nothing else, just a casual walk. After eating lunch outside, I came back to sleep for an afternoon, had dinner in the evening, and flew back to Changsha.

The food in Xi'an is Roujiamo, rice skin, Bibi noodles, steamed mutton, gourd chicken and so on. The taste is so-so, I'm not used to it.


How about my trip? Give you the eyes of my baby, experience it yourself, haha
