Fly from Harbin in the northeast to Yinchuan in Ningxia in the northwest~
Traveled more than 1800 kilometers~
The lonely smoke in the desert, the sunset on the long river!
The winding earth Great Wall, the site of ancient humans in the Stone Age~
The reeds in the Reed Flower Valley sway with the wind~
Precipitous cliffs, mysterious caves of Tibetan soldiers~
The trajectory of human life 30,000 years ago~
It was my first time to go to Yinchuan, so I felt very excited. I prepared clothes and equipment before departure, because I was full of anticipation. It is very convenient to fly from Harbin in the northeast, and fly directly to Yinchuan Airport.
On the first day, I checked in Zhenbeibao Studios-Zhihuiyuanshi Winery-Zhongwei-Shapotou Grand Ceremony
Zhenbeibao Western Studios is known as Oriental Hollywood. Many film and television crews come here to shoot scenes. It is one of the three major film and television cities in China and the most famous film and television city in western China. The very classic Westward Journey was shot here. . Haha, so I will also play the role of the goddess Zixia in my heart~~
Haha~ Please ignore my appearance~
Actually, I think I look good, but~~but~~
After playing the role of Zixia, she just broke down and didn't dare to take a selfie.
In the afternoon, at Zhihui Yuanshi Winery, Ningxia's grapes grew particularly well due to the large temperature difference between morning and evening. The wine at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain is also world-renowned. Sit down with a glass of wine, chat with friends, and enjoy this beautiful autumn afternoon.
As for my drinking capacity, I just have to taste it, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep here for a long time~ You know
Shapotou Grand Ceremony
After dinner, I went to Zhongwei City to watch "Shapotou Grand Ceremony", which tells about Shapotou's past and present, and the performance is interactive, and every scene is very interesting. The love story of the hero and heroine also moved me deeply.
To be honest, this performance is still worth watching, but it is not recommended for very young children~
In the evening, we also stayed at the Jinshahai Train Hotel, which is indeed the train in the desert, and the scenery is super beautiful.
It was dark at night, so I got up early and took two pictures.
Day 2 Shapotou - Helan Mountain Rock Paintings - Rock Painting Ancient Village (Stargazing)
shapotou
Shapotou is a 5A-level scenic spot and a very popular travel destination in Ningxia. You can see deserts, the Yellow River, mountains, and oases. It has both the majestic scenery of the northwest and the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.
It was fun to ride a camel for the first time, the camel is really cute. It will be very sudden when I come down, (●'◡'●) Welcome to feel
I also experienced sand boarding. If you are timid, don't try it. In fact, it is not scary at all.
Continue to take another means of transport, the ancient means of transport on the Yellow River, sheepskin rafts
The first time I sat, I drifted slowly, but the process was quite fun.
Helan Mountain Rock Paintings
This is a national key cultural relic protection unit and an art gallery of Chinese nomads. The natural scenery is magnificent, and it also preserves the rock murals that these nomads began to paint and carve on stones thousands of years ago, recording the ancient frontier northern minorities at that time. The life scene of grazing, hunting, living and multiplying.
Stargazing Experience
After dinner, I usually rest and have nothing to do, so I made an appointment to go to [Rock Painting Ancient Village] to look up at the starry sky. Ningxia is the hometown of stars. The foot of Helan Mountain, the banks of the Yellow River, and the desert are all great places for stargazing. Be sure to choose a good weather, but I am very lucky, the weather is very good these days. But the season of October is autumn, and there is a big temperature difference between morning and evening in Yinchuan, so remember to wear more thick clothes when watching the stars at night.
The starry sky at night is really beautiful. There are so many stars in the sky. You can never see such a starry sky at night in the city. Look, there's also the Milky Way. And shooting stars. I saw 4 shooting stars haha, and quietly made 4 wishes, I hope they can come true. (●'◡'●) I won’t tell you what I wish, I won’t tell you-(●'◡'●)
Day 3 Xixia Mausoleum - Shuidonggou
Xixia Mausoleum
Hearing the name Xixia Mausoleum, I am full of curiosity about it. It is one of the largest and best-preserved imperial cemeteries in China. With curiosity, go to explore ancient times and experience the mysterious Xixia culture in Ningxia.
Afterwards, I went to the museum. I really like visiting museums. I can see a lot of cultural relics and various objects left over from history. There are also tour guides in the museum who will give explanations. You can learn a lot without knowing it.
That's right, I'm here to learn more, haha.
shuidonggou
Shuidonggou is quite a big place. Before I came here, I thought there was only one cave for Tibetan soldiers, and there was nothing else to visit. In fact, it is not. There are Luhua Valley, the ruins of the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty, and the cave of Tibetan soldiers.
There is no going back the whole way here, and you can experience different means of transportation every time you go to the next scenic spot, which feels very meaningful and unique.
Walk through the Luhuagu plank road to the Hongshan Lake Wharf. The Luhuagu is really beautiful here.
There are also cute ostriches, deer, camels, haha~ so cute
The Cangbing Cave is like an underground labyrinth. The lights inside are relatively dim, so I didn't take many photos. The inside is much bigger than I imagined, and there are traps set up by people in the past. If you touch it, you really have to~~Think about the bridges in the movie, and imagine carefully~~~ Haha, just kidding!
The last day
Huangsha Ancient Ferry - Sand Lake
First we went to the Shahu Lake, which is very big and the scenery is very beautiful. This season is neither hot nor cold, and it feels pretty good. There is sand in the lake here, and there is a lake in the sand. Looking around, there are all kinds of yellow sand and lake water coexisting, as well as dense reeds.
Then I took a boat to see the Bird Paradise, to see them wandering freely in the water and soaring in the sky.
Huangsha Ancient Ferry
It gave me a very deep impression. It has wonderful scenery outside the Great Wall, and it is also a good place for original ecological self-guided tours. And its name is Huangsha Gudu Original Ecological Tourism Scenic Spot.
When you walk inside, you have a very desolate feeling at first, but you are gradually attracted by the scenery here. Every frame is very different and worth admiring, as if you have walked into the picture in a movie.
Another very worthwhile place to come here to play is that you can take various means of transportation, ancient sheepskin rafts, primitive desert boats, camel rides, Yellow River dragon boats, and exciting sand sea surfing. I feel that Ningxia is really too It's fun.
In fact, I don't know how many kinds of rides I have taken, but there must be ones that you haven't experienced, and they are definitely worth experiencing.
The westerly wind blows, and autumn is strong~ In the coming summer, I look forward to coming to Ningxia again to experience the beauty of the desert and get to know you!
