About the trip itinerary and trailer
Do you have a dream about the rivers and lakes in your heart;
Have you ever heard the story about the Xixia Dynasty, which lasted only 190 years in history?
This is a self-driving trip and a parent-child trip. Although our whole family is from Xi’an, we don’t eat mutton very much and we have children with us, so this article doesn’t have many strategies for local food; we all chose Sichuan dishes that are more suitable for our taste; I chose the itinerary and chose attractions that are more suitable for children. Some museums that require a deep history are not very suitable for the 5-year-old Berry child.

The Tengger Desert Sees the vast desert for the first time
The morning in Zhongwei City already looks like autumn
Because both my parents have been to Shapotou and they both like it very much. I have always wanted to take Berry (yes, I didn’t think about taking me!) to play once; but when I did my homework before going, I found that Shapotou is not suitable. Children over 60 years old and children cannot play because of water sports such as sheepskin rafts, nor can they play ziplines; the Yellow River scenic area divided into Shapotou is basically impossible; only the remaining desert scenic spots are said to be available for many projects. Play once; and some newly opened smaller desert scenic spots next to it, at least sand boarding can be played unlimited times (as long as you can drag the skateboard)
We were very tangled along the way. We asked a few local people. They suggested that we should go to Shapotou. After all, the tickets for the big scenic spot include insurance fees. Family travel safety first; so we drove to Shapotou

Shapotou actually means "the end of the desert" and is part of the Tengger Desert; but unfortunately, when we came, the desert scenic spot in Shapotou was also closed due to environmental protection (maybe because the number of people in the scenic spot dropped suddenly after the eleventh day)
We finally decided to forget it and just go to a small scenic spot!

#surf car#
The desert surfer is a very simple semi-open truck. Everyone fastened up their seat belts and started surfing in the desert. Surfing is the only word that can describe this driving experience! When I first got in the car, I was still recording the vlog with great interest. Within five seconds, I quickly threw the phone into the backpack, with one arm around Berry, and the other clutching the camera hanging around my neck, and I had to put it on my leg. The backpack on his back, his feet kicking on the bars under the front seat, trying to keep himself stable in the car that was jumping up and down; half of the people in the car were already pale, and Berry laughed loudly, giggling and giggling throughout the desert (Master, please trouble P A subtitle goes up, ha) When we got off the bus, everyone looked at Berry when they passed by us and muttered, this kid is so bold!
No, it's such a surfing car, it feels like it will fly out at any time
The Fast and the Furious for Kids - Sandboarding
let's have a good laugh
In fact, this is not a real slope for sandboarding. The real slope is long and steep. Only my dad tried it once and made a rational judgment: you three...forget it
The staff warmly invited us several times, and we all shook our heads. Finally, the staff pointed to the small slope at the back with a little distaste: Come on, go there and play.
We just slide up and down on this small slope, but we are happy and at ease
Berry enjoys himself, keeps pulling the board to climb up, doesn't cry tired, and doesn't want to help
From one person playing to a group of people and one person left
Bursts of camel bells, go outside the pass
Camel riding is naturally more fresh to us because we experienced it in northern Xinjiang last year
But the camels have to wait for a team of people to start, so we went to the next door to ride horses first.
It may take five minutes to ride a horse around. Yinchuan Hong is very naughty and keeps trying to scare us. He runs fast from time to time.
Next door to the racecourse is the camel area
The camels lie down in a row
caught one yawning
what did you say~
Finally got a team together and we're ready to get on the camels
When a camel gets up, it first stands up on its front feet and then on its back feet. It is the same when sitting down; therefore, when riding on a camel, it will lean forward/fall forward to balance; the camel is still quite tall. If it is not prepared for this, it will not hold firmly when it stands up and sits down. I was really scared; fortunately, my father has experience and greeted us in advance to prepare
Riding on a camel, shaking it, the camel at the tail of the team (dad’s) is tied with a camel bell, a team of camels are walking in neat steps, the camel bells are ringing, walking in the empty desert, I feel like I have arrived in the Western Regions in an instant, mysterious legends, caravans coming and going Teams of camels carry merchants and goods from near to far until they become a small dot in the distance, only the sound of camel bells echoes faintly at the end of the desert
Another caravan of camels set off
Take a photo with our camels
I asked the uncle who led the team: What is our name? He said: Xiaobai~
I thought he made it up, so I asked: What about the white one in front? He answered fluently: It's called Dabai~
I still don't give up: what about the white one in the front? He has no flaws: called Da Zhuang~
ok uncle you win
Just as we were talking, Xiaobai snorted, we were defenseless, I was so scared that I fell back
Dad took the camera and laughed at me Ye Gong is a good dragon
Xiaobai: Alright, alright, stop making trouble
The camels are really funny and have a lot of expressions
Xiaobai fell asleep
Smallest Bike Rider Desert Quad Bike
In fact, there are staff members sideways to help us drive, flying all the way, fine grains of sand are blown on the face, the motorcycle bumps up and down, and the same effect as a surf car, but the route we choose is a little more relaxed. Berry giggles and giggles along the way. reverberates throughout the desert
We were going to ride back, but we asked the staff to put us near the sandboarding area, ready to play with the sand
The flowers that bloom in the desert seem to be yellow-flowered rock pines, clustered in clusters, growing tenaciously in the desert
return date
Encountering Salt Lake, Passing Populus euphratica Forest, Enjoying the Northwest Scenery
Not far from the desert, on the way back, I passed a salt lake
When I was driving in Xinjiang, I passed by a lot, but I didn’t have a chance to go down and take a closer look. This time, hurry up and feel it up close.
Berry opens 100,000 why modes: why is there salt here; can the salt here be eaten; why can't it be eaten...
Populus euphratica forest outside the car window
Live up to the long autumn
Downstairs of the hotel, I captured a beautiful autumn scene. I came back from the desert and decided to go collect the wind~
Madou is very cooperative
Yinchuan Chinese Homecoming Cultural Park
It’s almost noon when I arrived in Yinchuan. I thought about it, “Look at a pile of soil from a distance and look at a pile of soil up close” like the Xixia King’s Tomb. I’m afraid Berry has no interest, so I decided to have a meal and go to the Chinese Homecoming Cultural Park.
What should I say about the Chinese Homecoming Cultural Park, whether you are free or not, there is no need to come
When we came, it coincided with the interior decoration, and a "temporary museum" was built, which was ridiculously crude and perfunctory.
One Thousand and One Nights is pretty nice, but it’s under renovation and I can’t get in
The chapel is very spectacular. Apart from that, there is nothing to see. It’s not that I feel sorry for the 60 yuan ticket. It’s just that it’s so ridiculous to be so perfunctory after the name of “Cultural Garden”
that's all
The folks passing by are peeling corn, and there is a thresher behind it. Berry has never seen it before, and he looks at it with gusto
Nie Yinniang, a cute mixed-race baby version, was born
Eat meat, drink alcohol, are you?
cute donkey
Berry's cosplay is very enjoyable, you have to try it at every booth
There are also handsome ones
Is the play road stuck in the peasant girl?
I'm going to act in a different way
The voiceover of this group is: Performing the momentum of the King of the Mountain
After that, I still didn’t enjoy it and rented a set of costumes (although it wasn’t what we wanted, but Berry was still so happy)
The Heroine and Her Sword
Then enter the Republic of China
I still suggest that you don’t come to pretend to be Zixia. The "Cave of the Bull Demon King" is full of people. There are two Zixias out of ten... There are also piles of Zixias on the road...
After playing for more than three hours, I’m really bored. Berry’s jumping up and down is also enough. I’m going home~
Listen to the roar of the Yellow River
Hui Shiyang, a man of the Ming Dynasty, wrote a poem "Originally from Kunlun and a large stream, Yuguan Nine Turns and a Pot Harvested" probably best describes the spectacular scene of Hukou Waterfall
As the second largest waterfall in China, the largest yellow waterfall; its majestic landscape can only be felt when you are on the scene. The insignificance of human beings and the insignificance of life are really indistinguishable under such a scene.
In summer, the water level is high, the river is rolling, and fine mist is flying; in winter, there are huge ice edges, and there are traces of foxes and other animals walking by. The thickness of the ice layer can be imagined.
The local people from northern Shaanxi wear jackets and lead mules. They dress up in a very local style. Tourists who come and go are also willing to "earth".
Because the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River separates Shanxi and Shanxi from one scene, Shanxi is on the opposite side.
There are also schools that organize students to visit together
Parent-child Ningxia trip experience tips big broadcast
Diet articles
The local food in Ningxia is heavy on the taste. Try to choose some habitual food with children; adults can try something new, and there is no need to get diarrhea in order to taste the local specialties. The gain is not worth the loss.
Attractions
The choice of #Tengger Desert# and #Shapotou#
Shapotou means the end of the desert; in fact, it means the edge of the Tengger Desert; because of where Dad went to become famous; the scenic spot is divided into: Yellow River Scenic Area (zipline, sheepskin raft, etc.) and Desert Scenic Area (sandboarding, desert motorcycles, horseback riding, camel riding, etc.)
Tickets in peak season: 100 yuan / low season: 65 yuan; package tickets range from 60-240 yuan;
Advantages of the scenic spot: large scenic spot with many projects
But the Yellow River Scenic Area basically does not allow children or the elderly to participate
The Tengger Desert is actually the surrounding scenic spots without the Yellow River series (it can’t be done with children anyway, it’s not a shortcoming)
Package: around 260 to play 5 events, unlimited sandboarding, suitable for parents and children, because children are always reluctant to leave
Advantages of the scenic spot: there are few people in the small scenic spot, the items can be played repeatedly and the queuing time is short (we basically monopolize every scenic spot)
Everyone chooses
#Zhenbeibao Cinema#
If you want to have fun, you can prepare your own costumes and props; there are many costumes for adults (from Zixia Fairy to various female heroes, Republic of China soldiers), but there are fewer children's costumes, and there may only be one or two sets for each age group
Price: 20 yuan for 20 minutes, you can actually take a lot of photos
There are many places to rent clothes in scenic spots, so don’t worry; it is recommended to find a background with few people, but as long as you are willing to wait, you can still take a clean background.
I wish you all a good time
