written in front

Use a bright and cool view to wash away the heat of the city.

May is cloudy and sunny in Shanghai. I just changed my short-sleeved shorts yesterday, and today I put on my jacket and shivered in the cold wind. There are still rumors in the circle of friends, "I have eaten spring bamboo shoots, and I have gone for an outing, cherry blossoms, peach blossoms, and apricot blossoms." I have already competed for beauty, I just took off the short sleeves, and I put on the down jacket again, so it’s almost Chinese New Year.” After laughing, I walked out of the subway station and submitted my resignation report to the company.

I went to Ningxia in 15 years. At that time, the travel talk skills of walking away just sprouted, and the professor was still assigning practice assignments to the courseware. Wechat received a message from a friend to form a team, and he threw a demanding look at his girlfriend. The first In two days, I embarked on a journey of discovery of "Yinchuan on the Silk Road in the South of the Yangtze River". I connected a series of "Tomb Raiders Notes" in the Xixia Royal Tomb, Zhenbeibao Film and Television City, Shuidonggou Scenic Area, and Suyukou Forest Park, because Ji Ji failed to go to Chenghuoshizhai, and left with regret.

I plan to go back to Guizhou to learn my driver's license after I resign. It's probably fate. I'm still thinking about how to travel after I get my driver's license, but I won the bid for the 6-day, 5-night travel experience in Ningxia that I signed up for. Now I'm typing on the screen The characters, but it is like a movie playing back this encounter in my mind, thank you Ningxia, I will live up to the encounter.

Key words

Resignation: that is, to resign from the post, which is the act of the employee to propose to the employer to terminate the labor contract or labor relationship. I have thought about the scene of resignation 10,000 times, but I never thought that it would be so fast and so dull, and the psychological struggle is also a drama. Looking back now, I handed in the resignation report and got a resignation certificate A4 from the personnel department. Paper, ended 2 years of career in state-owned enterprises.

Ningxia: The full name of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region is one of the five largest ethnic minority autonomous regions in China. The capital of the autonomous region is Yinchuan. Ningxia is irrigated by the Yellow River and has formed a long-standing Yellow River civilization. In 1038 A.D., Li Yuanhao, the leader of the Dangxiang clan, established the Xixia Dynasty here. It was the main route of the "Silk Road" in history, and it is known as "the south of the Yangtze River". In October 2015, I visited a few scenic spots in Ningxia with my friends. This time it was the second visit, which coincided with the scenic spots: Western Xia Royal Tombs, Helan Mountain Rock Paintings, Zhenbeibao Film and Television City.

Drama Jing: A catchphrase on the Internet, it was first used as a metaphor for a person who is very good at acting. Dramatists in life refer to acting or imitating behaviors at certain times and places to make people feel like actors in the play, creating the illusion. Friends on this trip, there are dramas inside and outside the drama, and they are really good at acting.

itinerary planning

If you want to have a good time in Ningxia, one week is not enough.

One-swipe route sharing:

Day1: Shanghai→Yinchuan→Drum Tower

Day2: Tombs of the Western Xia Kings → Helan Mountain Rock Paintings → Zhenbei Fort Western Film and Television City

Day3: Yellow River Military Culture Expo Park→Shuidonggou Scenic Area→Mingcui Lake Wetland Park

Day4: Suyukou National Forest Park → Return to Shanghai

The second brush is of course to play something different. Looking at the travel route from Guyuan in the south to Shizuishan in the north, passing through Zhongwei, Wuzhong, Yinchuan, Alxa League and other places, it covers Liupanshan Forest Park, Huoshizhai Geological Park, Sha Potou Scenic Area, Yellow River Palace, Rock Paintings of Helan Mountain, Zhenbeibao Film and Television City, Sand Lake and other classic scenic spots, the whole route is about 508 kilometers.

Ningxia on the tip of the tongue

NO.1 hand-caught lamb

Ningxia people like to eat mutton, which is related to the growth environment of sheep. Ningxia’s Sichuan area has high salinity and the weeds that grow are mostly warming herbal medicines. Along with the growth process of sheep, their own mutton is naturally removed. Fishy smell. The hand-caught mutton here is not simply "caught by hand" literally, but because of the local sheep, local water and local cooking methods. There are three ways to eat it, that is, eat it hot (sliced ​​and steamed in a basket) Dip in sanhe oil), eat cold (dip in refined salt directly after slicing), and eat fried (fry hot in a pan, and eat while frying).

NO.2 pasta

There is a saying in Chinese food that south rice is north. Noodles have always been considered the main diet in the north. Whistle noodles are the most common staple food for Ningxia people. In Yinchuan, there is another saying called rubbing noodles. Whistle and noodle restaurants The difference of our own whistle is: the soup is oily but not greasy, the mutton pieces are big and tasty but rotten, and the noodles should be poured into the noodles carefully, slowly and evenly. The authentic old noodle restaurant recommends: Changjiuyipin mutton noodles.

My favorite dish is oatmeal kneading. Naked oats are ground into powder with boiling water and then kneaded into a ball. After steaming with high heat, the color is white and bright, the strips are continuous, and the taste is flexible. It is served with cooked leeks, cooked spinach or Garlic shreds and other ingredients are eaten, and the taste is exquisite.

NO.3 Pasta

Pasta seems to be getting farther and farther away from the concept of staple food in our life. Ningxia is particularly rich in pasta, such as Wu Zhong Jin Laishun's mother pancakes, Youxiang and San (san third tone) are also traditional pastries of the Hui nationality. Kunmo in Arabia and West Asia is also called baked bun locally. After eating it, you will never forget it. If you are new to Ningxia, you must not miss these traditional folk pastries.

In the eyes of the elders, the warm taste of the characteristic noodles has been achieved. In the hands of relatives, the noodles are kneaded and formed with the warmth of the heart. In the original production process, the traces of history are endowed with maturity.

Accommodation

Traveling abroad, living in peace of mind, this journey is more than half successful. Generally speaking, accommodation in Ningxia is not particularly expensive (of course, it is very likely because we live very cheaply), the average per capita is about 200 yuan per night. It is a commonplace to say that there is one standard for going out: it is safe, clean and hygienic.

Guyuan: Xigang Aviation Hotel

This is the only hotel where we stayed for two nights on this trip, and the breakfast is also the best. It is 11 kilometers away from the airport, and Didi takes a taxi for 15 yuan. Why Didi? Because as soon as the taxi came out of the airport, I thought it was very enthusiastic, but in fact, the drivers opened their mouths to open their mouths, and they got on the car if they could accept it. The taxi master was not happy and said that each person should be at least 15 I only got on the train for a few minutes, and I quickly dripped my hand, and found that there was an express train with a coupon. The express train master arrived at the airport in 1 minute, picked up the 4 of us, and then left this group of masters...

Business standard room (including breakfast) 350 yuan

Zhongwei: Northwest Story Hotel

Two boys live in a love hotel...

Oh, I went astray, staying in a theme hotel, ahem, the kind that treats each other honestly after taking a bath...

Leaving Guyuan, the weather is getting hotter and the air is getting drier, especially in the desert in the afternoon, screaming, running, and dancing against the sky full of yellow sand. Sitting in the car to the hotel, I really want to have a warm water flow from it. The top of my head slid over every inch of skin, washed the fine sand and exhaustion on my body, and then lay lazily on the bed watching the videos and photos taken today. Well, this hotel did not disappoint me.

The appearance looks similar to a regular hotel, but when you walk into the room, you will find something special. Solid wood beds, cobblestone floors, simple decoration, and low-key lighting. The joy of entering the room makes you feel tired after a day. The key is other theme room.

Theme standard room (including breakfast) 378 yuan

Qingtongxia: GreenTree Inn

GreenTree Inn is well-known as an economic chain hotel. The reason for choosing it is that it is close to the tourist attractions (Zhonghua Yellow River Tower) and I want to be lazy. The hotel is quite satisfactory. Fortunately, the data is always unlimited when you go out. My friend found that after checking in, he couldn't find or connect to the wifi...orz..

Standard room (including breakfast) 170 yuan

Sand Lake: Desert Star Tent

If we talk about expectations, the starry sky tent in Shahu satisfies all the hearts and dreams of girls.

Watching the sun set from the mountains in the distance, the afterglow sprinkled on the lake, and eating a self-service barbecue with my friends, the bonfire has been lit aside, and through the popular songs on Douyin, I came into contact with the most down-to-earth desert with laughter. Then I looked up and saw the stars visible to the naked eye. I carried it on the tripod to learn to take pictures of the starry sky. When I came back, the lights in the tent became brighter and brighter. It was like a dream in front of my eyes, and it was also a dream when I lay down.

Ordinary tent 198 yuan/top Star tent 688 yuan/top

 

equipment list

I asked my friends earlier, "When is it more fun to go to Ningxia?", "All the year round."

This answer is a bit cool, and then my friend added, "The spring is full of green, the summer solstice is full of fish and birds, the autumn is full of melons and fruits, and the winter solstice is full of snow! Whether it is a profound and long-standing historical background, rich and unique folk customs The customs, or the different natural scenery brought to people by the changing seasons, all give people who live here or come from afar a visual and physical enjoyment.”

Ningxia is located deep in the northwest inland plateau. It has a typical continental semi-humid and semi-arid climate. It has the characteristics of dry climate, strong wind and sand, cold in the south and warm in the north. The average temperature of woolen trips in May is 10 ℃ ~ 24 ℃. Share A luggage list:

1. Personal clothing: thin short-sleeved, sports pants, sweater, thick coat, thin down jacket

2. Sun protection measures: sun protection clothing, sunscreen, sunscreen spray, neck cover, sunscreen hat, sunglasses

3. Shooting equipment: Canon 5d4 24-105, Zhiyun 4 stabilizer, DJI mavir air

4. Men's skin care: facial cleanser, moisturizing lotion, facial mask, perfume, razor

5. Others: diarrhea medicine, cold medicine, charger, power bank, thermos cup, ec travel backpack, sports shoes and casual shoes

Supplement: May is still the rainy season in Ningxia. If there is enough space in the suitcase, it is recommended to prepare an umbrella and a light raincoat; photographers must protect their cameras in rainy days and in the desert to prevent water and fine sand from entering; girls walk barefoot in the desert Pay attention to burns, and prepare a headscarf to avoid excessive wind and sand or sunburn from skin exposure.

The above is the strong output of the strategy, and I want to take a snack to share what I did and felt in the second brush

Part.1 When the red culture "plateau green island" collides with Danxia landform

On the first day of the itinerary, we started from Guyuan in the south. Historically, Guyuan was the main road leading to the Western Regions since the beginning of the Thai and Han Dynasties, controlling the Silk Road. It is not only the "Gateway of Guanzhong", but also the only place to go from Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye, Wuwei to Chang'an. , "Control Wuyuan on the left, Lanhui on the right, Huangliu surrounds the north, Kongtong blocks the south, according to the shoulders of the eight counties, the key points of the three towns", "the road back to the middle is dangerous, Xiaoguan has many beacons", Guyuan is in The importance of geographical location in the past dynasties can be seen.

In addition to the historical background, the natural landscape of Guyuan is also remarkable. In 2017, there were 24 tourist attractions in Guyuan City, including 5 4A-level tourist attractions and 3 3A-level tourist attractions. Liupanshan was chosen for this trip. National Forest Park and Huoshizhai National Geological Park are two 4A scenic spots.

Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region is located deep in the northwest inland plateau. It has a typical continental semi-humid and semi-arid climate. The rainy season is mostly concentrated from June to September. The precipitation in Ningxia is more in the south than in the north, and most of it is concentrated in summer. It is dry all year round and has annual rainfall. However, Liupanshan National Forest Park in Guyuan has a forest coverage rate of over 80%, with an annual average temperature of 5.8°C and an annual precipitation of 676mm. With a relative humidity of 60-70%, it is an important water conservation forest base in Northwest China. 

I imagined countless dry and hot climates, but a rain in Liupanshan gave me a critical blow.

Because my friend arranged an accompanying vehicle, so I will be accompanying the vehicle for the next few days. This north-south travel collection is also a lot of worry-free. It takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes from the hotel to the scenic spot, and I ran into it as soon as I left the hotel. It was raining lightly, and the tour guide was also good at talking: the nobleman went out with a lot of wind and rain, so he arrived at the first scenic spot while listening to songs and chatting.

Maybe I'm still young. I wiped my face with sunscreen and wore an ultra-thin sunscreen jacket. I was hit by a gust of cold wind as soon as I got out of the car. While shivering, I looked at the down jacket of the little girl beside me full of envy. What can I do? ? No way, face must be needed, so I had no choice but to pretend that I was not cold.

Sit in the landscape car and go to the deep mountains. Fortunately, it is not the kind of open air. Shuttle in the greenery, but I think silently: Is this Ningxia? How can it be so cold? There are so many green water and green mountains? ? And will the rain stop. Going forward with an umbrella with my friends, I found wild branches growing wantonly, so I simply gave the umbrella to my companions, put on a hat and a camera, and walked forward alone.

There are many places to go, and the scenery will eventually be the same. As a child born in Guizhou, I am used to seeing green water and green mountains, but I have never been able to jump out of the background of Ningxia. How can there be such a lush green island? Avoiding the hustle and bustle, listening to the gurgling water, and hearing the singing of birds, even at that moment, a little nostalgia was aroused.

Speaking of Liupan Mountain, in addition to the natural scenery, it was also the last mountain that Chairman Mao Zedong led the Red Army of Workers and Peasants to climb over in 1935. After the battle, Mao Zedong stood on the top of a huge rock in Liupan Mountain. A song "Qing Ping Le Liupan Mountain": "The sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the geese flying in the south can be seen. If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero, and you can only travel 20,000 miles. On the peak of Liupan Mountain, the red flag is sweeping in the west wind. Today I have a long tassel in my hand, when will I tie it? Live in Canglong?" This is Mao Zedong! He poetized and sublimated war! Then, he humorously said to the commanders and fighters around him: "All of you Red Army soldiers who have survived from Jiangxi to the present are all treasures! You are the seeds of revolution, and you will spread them all over the country in the near future. Blooming and bearing fruit in large areas!"

Walking in Liupan Mountain with a little red memory, the towering ancient trees growing in this soil, wild streams and mountain streams are still full of vitality in the long history of years of change, the rain has gradually stopped, and the sky has become brighter, so grab a companion Freeze a picture for myself, I think, therefore I am.

Waiting for the companions to return from the tour, we went to a nearby farmhouse for a meal.

If it is said that only one rain can discover the truth of Liupan Mountain, the bright sun in the afternoon will bring Huoshizhai back to its true colors.

It’s also fate. When I visited Ningxia in 2015, my friends in Shuidonggou Scenic Area have been recommending it. If I have the opportunity, I should go and see Huoshi Village. But this scenic spot is special because it was closed after the National Day holiday. It is withered and yellow, and it is not easy for tourists to visit when it snows in severe winter or the road is slippery under heavy rain. Wanli is really comforting.

Huoshizhai, famous for its Danxia landform, a monopoly tourism resource in the Northwest, has been approved as a national geological park and a national forest park. Self-driving tour base.

Danxia Landform: Originated from Danxia Mountain in Renhua, northern Guangdong, it is composed of huge red sandstone, conglomerate and other red rocks. It has been subjected to external forces such as crustal uplift movement, erosion, dissolution, weathering, spalling, and collapse and retreat of flowing water. The special landforms such as Danya cliffs and pinnacles are formed by the action. Danxia landform is unique in my country's landscape landforms and landscapes, and is one of the important types of scenic spots in my country.

Everyone will read the information, and not everyone will be able to visit the attractions. Maoxian specially prepared a guide for everyone to visit the attractions in Huoshizhai:

A. Yuntai Mountain

Yuntai Mountain is the first scenic spot in the scenic spot and the first of the eight major landscapes in Huoshi Village. The tour guide said that the origin of Yuntai Mountain comes from the "Xiji County Chronicles". Here, "whenever the mountain rains, it must first be clouded leisurely, even if it is sunny or cloudy." Get together and quickly freeze a picture.

B. Yuntai Pinnacle

Looking at the front of Yuntai Mountain, you can see layers of red and green landscapes here, and the Yuntai plank road is hidden in it. This is one of the eight scenic spots in Guyuan in the Ming and Qing Dynasties: Yuntai emerald green. According to the introduction of Yuntai Mountain in the "Xiji County Chronicle" of the Republic of China Shi said: "The mountains are steep, with deep caves and dangerous bridges, and the mountains are emerald, and the songs are deep." He also said that "the sound of birds singing is faint, the fragrance of flowers is fragrant, enough to entertain the moon, and there are many tourists in summer."

That is to say, you can also see Taoist grottoes - Dingfu Palace here. The grotto culture originated in the Northern Wei Dynasty and flourished in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Several grottoes were built on cliffs more than 100 meters high.

C. Glass walkway

Huoshizhai can also play heartbeat, and the transparent glass suspension bridge and high-speed zipline will make your adrenaline rush.

The length of the "glass suspension bridge" is 268m, and the height between the bridge body and the ground is 118m. The two ends of the suspension bridge are made of wooden structures, and the middle is designed with "transparent glass". It is the first glass suspension bridge in Northwest China; To the excitement of screaming...

The "high-altitude zipline" has a total length of 318 meters and a drop of 30 meters. It is located between the golden summit of the main peak of Yuntai Mountain in Huoshizhai and the opposite Wangxia Pavilion.

Sorry, I'm afraid... I didn't get to write you guys a screaming recommendation.

D. Valley of Love

There are large tracts of birch forests growing in the Valley of Lovers. The birch tree is the national tree of Russia and a symbol of the national spirit of this country. The symbolic meaning of birch is the test of life and death. People who are in love often express their love for each other on the birch bark, and use the tenacity and uprightness of the birch to express their loyalty to love. The birch tree has also become the best proof of the life-and-death relationship between lovers.

E. Optimus Prime

The body of Optimus Prime is a naturally formed cylindrical rock, which cannot be surrounded by dozens of people. It towers into the clouds and goes straight to the sky.

Of course, the splendor of the scenic spot is far more than the above-mentioned scenic spots. Taking advantage of the spring day, picking a good weather to stop with family and friends to take pictures, chat and view the scenery is the best experience.

 

Tips:

1. Tickets for scenic spots are RMB 100,000, which can be purchased in advance on the travel app for more discounts;

2. Pay attention to the weather conditions before traveling, and bring your own raincoat and rain gear;

3. Pay attention to rain protection for camera equipment, and it is recommended to prepare a coat for the temperature difference between morning and evening and rainfall;

4. There are no meals in the scenic area except instant noodles and small snack stalls. You can bring some snacks by yourself. You need to navigate to the farmhouse outside the scenic area for meals. There are many shops to choose from.

 

Part.2 Let yourself fly in the sea of ​​sand in the long river and sunset

Ding! Everyone likes to book a hotel room with breakfast when traveling in wool. One is for convenience and trouble, and the other is to avoid being hungry or having a stomachache due to hygiene problems that will affect the next itinerary, so I choose hotel breakfast.

The focus of today's itinerary is Shapotou Scenic Spot, which is a 5A scenic spot among the top 500 in the world for environmental protection. Wang Wei's song "Lonely smoke in the desert, sunset in the long river" is described here. After breakfast, I sleep all the way to the entrance of the scenic spot. Paddle restaurants.

Sun protection is essential for traveling in Ningxia. It is understandable if you have a particularly rough life and find it troublesome, but it takes 3 hours or a whole day to travel in the desert. My personal suggestion is to be diligent and be good to yourself.

Shapotou integrates the desert, the Yellow River, high mountains, and oases into one place. It has the majestic scenery of the northwest and the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. There is the largest natural sand skiing field in China, the "No. 1 Cable in the World on the Yellow River" across the Yellow River, the ancient waterwheel representing the Yellow River culture, the sheepskin raft, the oldest transportation tool on the Yellow River, and the rare mirage in the desert. You can ride a camel across the Tengger Desert, you can take an off-road vehicle to surf the sand sea, and you can enjoy the wonders of the lonely smoke in the desert and the sunset on the long river.

The main protection objects of Shapotou are natural desert landscape, natural desert vegetation, scientific research results of sand control, wild animals, ancient Great Wall of Ming Dynasty, Shapo Bell Ringing and other cultural landscapes and their natural complexes. At the 2018 Northwest China Tourism Marketing Conference and Tourism Equipment Exhibition, it was shortlisted for the "100 Magical Northwest Scenes" list.

     Riding on the "ladder" to the top, the scenery in front of me can only be said to be shocking and I like it. I like places with water, because water is agile and full of vitality. I also like deserts. The yellow sand flying all over the sky finds myself in a vast expanse. It is also intoxicating, but Shapotou is such a collection, contradictory and unified but not at all inconsistent.

Take a look at the desert off-road vehicle...

The desert camel team also understands...

The desert beauty also understands...

In fact, traveling abroad really depends on who you are with. One person can play alone, and a group of people can also play as a team. Back then, the girls were posing beautifully in the desert. I took off the turban, and I picked up the turban and put it on my body, so I have the following unsightly things...

But the most important thing is to have fun, and I'm having fun.

Do you think it's over after visiting Shapotou? Coco, a group of us went to Tonghu Prairie.

Tonghu Grassland Tourist Area is located in the hinterland of the Tengger Desert at the junction of Ningxia and Inner Mongolia. It is 200 kilometers away from Alxa Left Banner Bayanhot in the east and 26 kilometers away from Zhongwei County in Ningxia in the south. It is precisely because it is not far from Zhongwei that we are in Ningxia On the soil, I felt the Mongolian singing and dancing.

Tips:

1. Be sure to pay attention to fine sand blowing into the camera equipment, and the SLR party should take protective measures;

2. It is recommended to take a desert off-road vehicle, but be sure to fasten your seat belt and prepare to scream;

3. I have experienced the Camel Shuidonggou in the desert, and I feel that the one in Shapotou is more expensive, so emmm does not recommend it;

4. Remind another 10,000 times for sun protection. Sandboarding feels too slow, so take the cable car downhill.

 

Part.3 The weather is not good, but it does not prevent you from meeting the real Ningxia

I hope every trip is good weather, of course, I hope.

Yesterday was really fun and satisfying, but I woke up this morning and it was a different day...

I originally planned to go out in shorts and short sleeves and go back to my room. After breakfast, I went to visit the Yellow River 108 Tower in Wuzhong City with my friends. It was a windy day and it was still raining. The light rain still had some temper. I landed wrapped in fine sand, so I went out to play with a backpack, and found that the backpack was black when I got in the car.

Ningxia Qingtongxia 108 Towers Qingtongxia is located at the last gorge of the upper reaches of the Yellow River in central Ningxia. It is a group of orderly and extremely regular towers. There are 108 towers in total, all of which are made of bricks and plastered with white ash. It is one of the existing large-scale ancient pagodas in China. Silk scripts and Buddha statues inscribed in Xixia script were unearthed under the base of the pagoda. It may have been built in the Xixia period as a solid Lama-style pagoda group.

After the tour, I posted a picture on Toutiao today: "The ancient pagodas are lined up with clouds, and the long river is filled with waves." As the twelve sceneries of Zhongwei, the 108 pagodas in Qingtongxia not only have a shocking shape, but also nestle against the turbulent waves. The Yellow River, however, can give people an extraordinary experience of tranquility and tranquility.

Thanks for the interactive reposting by local netizens. Another person pointed out that this scenic spot is not Zhongwei, but Wu Zhong. I checked some background information carefully, and replied like this:

"In the 21st year of Qianlong, Huang Enxi, a native of Yunnan, served as the county magistrate of Zhongwei. In order to promote the development of local culture in Zhongwei, he changed the old ten scenes to the new twelve. I chose Wuzhong City as the location, if there is any inappropriate expression, please also ask Haihan."

It is this kind of collision of knowledge and common sense that makes me like traveling more and more, because it allows me to know more about the folk culture of a place, feel the natural scenery and be infected by humanistic customs.

 

After brushing the 108 Tower, the tour guide suggested that the wind and rain are too heavy to go back to the hotel to rest, and then go out to visit the Yellow River Tower in the afternoon.

There are Yellow River Chinese History and Culture Exhibition Hall, Yellow River Ningxia History and Culture Exhibition Hall, Yellow River Impression Exhibition Hall, Yellow River Cultural Performance Hall, etc. in the China Yellow River Building. It is a museum that comprehensively displays the splendid civilization of the Yellow River for 5,000 years, an important carrier of the Yellow River culture in Ningxia, and a well-known tourist attraction in the west and even the whole country.

The overall style of the Yellow River Tower imitates the ancient buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The main colors are Chinese red and rich yellow. Its roof is crossed and double eaves with local style. You can take the elevator directly to the 8th floor on the top of the building, climb up to watch the rolling water of the Yellow River, feel the magnificent scenery of the rushing river, and think about the feelings of the past and the present. Inside the building are the Yellow River History and Culture Exhibition Hall, Ningxia Customs and Customs Exhibition Hall, and tea art halls and activity rooms with their own characteristics. Ningxia's unique Yellow River culture, Xixia culture and desert culture will be vividly displayed here.

If you think it’s just a visit, then it’s even more naive. We also took pictures of Young and Dangerous…

The plot of the story was originally about a few friends traveling together, wanting to take some interesting photos, and suddenly found that the funny comparisons of the colleagues were very interesting, and suddenly the mentally retarded brother and the handsome younger brother appeared in the script. I can't stand it anymore, I said I want to try it, big brother...

The next thing is what everyone saw above. That night, my circle of friends all had the same copywriting:

"Yellow River Tower, in front of Xuanwu Gate, the year when I was young and frivolous"

On the second day, the tour guide told us that this video has exploded their Ningxia tour guide circle, of course they are happy, because there are too many scenic spots, but not many memorable ones, and this video of the Yellow River Tower , at least I will always remember.

Part.4 If Zhenbei Fort is used as a memory, Shahu gave me a whole summer

As I mentioned before, the trip to Ningxia in 2015 coincided with the Xixia Royal Tombs, Helan Mountain Rock Paintings and Zhenbeibao Film and Television City. I will not hesitate to recommend this classic route to friends who come to Ningxia for the first time. If you do it for the second time, of course, there will be a trace of nostalgia for things that are right and wrong, and the enthusiasm and joy of visiting again will not change.

There is an incisive summary of the Xixia King's Mausoleum. When you look at a pile of soil from a distance, you can see a pile of soil at a close distance.

This is the fact, concise and to the point, anyway, the tour guide said it 3 times before I straightened my tongue, and the little science is online:

The Xixia Royal Mausoleum is the tomb of the emperors of the Xixia Dynasty. It is located at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain. In the mausoleum area with a radius of 53 square kilometers, there are nine imperial mausoleums and 253 burial tombs. It is the largest existing ground site in China. One of the most complete imperial cemeteries. Standing at the foot of the desolate Helan Mountains and looking at the Xixia Royal Tombs from a distance, flocks of crows and sparrows land on bare stones and dead branches from time to time, but no birds or beasts are ever seen resting on the royal tombs, and they never make trouble on the royal tombs. . Does everyone know that the authority of feudal emperors cannot be offended?

After visiting the museum and the Xixia Mausoleum, we rushed to Helan Mountain Rock Paintings, because we wanted to spend a lot of time in Zhenbei Fort. The Helan Mountain Rock Paintings are a national key cultural relics protection unit and a national 4A-level tourist attraction. , Uyghur, Tubo, Dangxiang and other northern minorities live and multiply in places where they live, nomadic and hunt. They chiseled the scenes of production and life on the rocks of Helan Mountain to express their yearning and pursuit of a better life, and reproduced their aesthetic views, social customs and life interest at that time. In the hinterland of Helan Mountain, which is more than 200 kilometers long from north to south, there are more than 20 remains of rock paintings. Among them, the most representative ones are Helankou Rock Paintings.

In addition to the special rock paintings, if you are lucky, you can also meet blue sheep, such as us.

In the past, people who climbed Helan Mountain hoped to see blue sheep, but there were not many people who could see the "beauty". However, according to the tour guide, under the protection and care of the local government, blue sheep are increasing at a growth rate of 10.54% every year, and the total number has reached more than 35,000. The larger the number, the easier it will be for people to go up the mountain to see blue sheep.

Two beautiful photos were captured, let's see what they really look like.

After a simple lunch, we set off for Zhenbeibao Film and Television City, which everyone is thinking about. . .

Ningxia Zhenbeibao Western Cinema (now commonly known as Zhenbeibao Western Cinema), known as "Oriental Hollywood", is located in Zhenbeibao, the western suburb of Yinchuan, Ningxia. The original site was a frontier defense castle in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Among the many film and television cities in China, Western Studios is one of the three major film and television cities in China and the only famous film and television city in the west of China.

So far, "The Wrangler", "Red Sorghum", "Yellow River Ballad", "The Yellow River", "The Old Man and the Dog", which won international and domestic awards, as well as the famous films "Journey to the West" and "New Dragon Inn" have been filmed here. ", "The Cold Against the Water", "Qiao's Courtyard", "Old Persimmon Tree" and nearly a hundred film and television dramas.

The old photos from 15 years ago were deliberately dug out to suppress the shock...

This trip is mainly because of my friends who are good at acting, and I hope to use the scenes of Journey to the West to try my hand at remaking a series of micro-movies that connect scenic spots. That is to say, you have to forgive me for not taking many photos.

Sunset, castle, yellow sand, lovers.  

Seriously injured Zixia said in Zhizunbao's arms, "My lover is a hero of the world, and one day he will step on the colorful clouds to marry me. I guessed the beginning, but I couldn't guess the ending." The heart-warming Zhizunbao watched Zixia slide towards the sun, but he could do nothing. 

Young people all have a dream of being a hero. For this reason, they will not hesitate to give up many things, even if they may regret the price of giving up for the rest of their lives. 

I read a film review earlier: We have already known the story of "A Chinese Journey to the West" and we are so familiar with it, but we are still willing to watch it again, just because human beings are not grass and trees, no matter how we grow up and be harmonious, we will always be happy. Can't be ruthless. People with love, it is inevitable that they will never forget, and they will know the old love by reviewing the past.

When I came out of the scenic spot, I still had some emotions. The tour guide was very happy, hurry up, we still have a fun place.

The place he was talking about was Shahu Lake, which was rated as one of the first batch of national 5A-level scenic spots in 2007. In 1994, Shahu Lake was listed as one of the 35 ace scenic spots in the country. The sand lake is dominated by natural landscapes. The organic combination of sand, water, reeds, birds and mountains constitutes a unique and beautiful landscape. There is also the beauty of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which is known as a "rare in the world" cultural tourist attraction.

Maybe I was lucky. I just arrived at the scenic spot and caught up with the sunset, and the sunset was beautiful.

The cruise ship slowly slid between the reeds, and the staff of the scenic spot sang local songs on board to express their warm welcome. The companions in the same boat were already fascinated by the scenery of the lake and mountains. It was this sunset that made everything just right.

 

Then, I met the most beautiful scenery in Ningxia during this trip...

The herons all over the sky are returning to their nests, flying around the cruise ship, sometimes fluttering their wings, sometimes jumping for joy, as if they understand our purpose of coming, and are welcoming us in response. All the people who are traveling with us are taking pictures and feeling the beauty of being close to nature.

Wave after wave of surprises, I found the BBQ self-service barbecue area provided by the scenic spot as soon as I landed. Then I turned around and saw that the tent has been set up, and there is also an Internet celebrity starry sky tent. I heard from the staff that this tent was only opened to the public not long ago. The tourism experience project that is open for trial operation, of course, Curious Baby Yarn will help you find out.

The climax of the evening started with the music rhythm of the host’s call for friends and companions. The bonfire was lit, barefoot, followed the dynamic beat, and danced in the night. Maybe everyone was tired, and they were on their way for the past few days. The exhaustion of the schedule disappeared in the cheers of each other. Maybe everyone was really high, holding each other's hands and conveying joy with their voices.

After the bonfire was over, the scenic spot prepared an open-air movie of "A Chinese Journey to the West", and we climbed to the top of the distant mountain to find a quiet starry sky.

Tips:

1. Today’s itinerary is relatively fast, and it is more convenient to charter a car. It is recommended to plan the route reasonably;

2. There is also a museum in the Xixia King's Mausoleum to learn about history, culture and local customs. It is recommended to go there;

3. Zhenbeibao Film and Television City is divided into several areas. It is recommended to plan the time reasonably and make a strategy before traveling;

4. Shahu tents need to be reserved in advance, and the carry-on luggage should be as small as possible. You can simply wash and charge, and you cannot take a shower. The temperature is very low at night and in the morning, and the temperature of the tent is not high. It is recommended to prepare a down jacket.

Part.5 bid farewell to Ningxia with a sunrise, live up to meeting

Well, the tent at night is still quite cold. I went to sleep at 2 o'clock and woke up at 3:30.

Although I was holding back my urine, I was afraid, hahaha, and focused on listening to see if the friends around me were in the same situation, so I finally connected with Brother Kai who was in the next tent at 4.10 am.

After taking the photo, I just sat there foolishly with my companions. It’s been a long time since I got up so early, and I haven’t felt such a peaceful state of mind for a long time. I watched the sun slowly climb up the mountain and walked towards the distance.

Then I had breakfast with my friends, took a cable car, played sandboarding, took a cruise ship through the reeds, and finally visited the Bird Island and returned to the entrance of the scenic spot. The beauty of the sand lake is a kind of delicate indescribable. Yes, camels, herons, birds, and animals are all alive, from dusk to dawn, just feel that there is not enough time, that's it.

I haven't had a good feeling yet, the trip is coming to an end,

I really want to cry when I write this, but it is really not easy to be a travel experiencer.

From the gathering on the first day, transfers, delays, luggage loss to the hotel at 2:00 a.m., and then set off at 7:00 a.m. the next day; from rain, wind, and sun exposure, friends in the same company transitioned from down jackets to shorts and slippers, and roommates caught a cold I got sunburned and knelt on the ground the next day to take pictures of the starry sky; from the time when the camera was out of battery to when the plane flew to the top of the mountain, I took pictures of the starry sky at 2:00 and lay down for a while and got up at 4:00 to watch the sun with my friends, but it was really I am happy, because the stories belong to others, but I met them who are lovely and created some unforgettable memories in this land of Ningxia, and most of them were moved.

I have thought about the scene of resignation ten thousand times, but I never thought it would be so plain and sudden;

I thought about 10,000 travel destinations, but never thought about going back to Ningxia;

I thought about the most unremarkable itinerary, but I was so lucky to meet a group of actors.

In the quiet summer, the sky is full of stars, and finally I can also plug in the earphones and miss secretly...
