When I was a child, I always had a dream, that is, when I grow up, I will travel around the world and visit every corner of the world. Everyone says that traveling can heal your soul. When did I start to like traveling? After working for about a year, with the boring life day after day and the numerous "work injuries" of the workers, I decided to visit a different place every year to relax and relax. My travel plan this year is to go to the vast and vast Inner Mongolia, to see the Northwest, to see the scenery I have never seen before.

Itinerary:

The first day: At eight in the morning we drove from Yinchuan to the town of Aolunbulag, more than 300 kilometers, and arrived in three and a half hours. We booked the hotel in advance (there are no big hotels in the town, and the environment is not recommended), and after a good rest, we went to the first scenic spot of this trip at 1:30 in the afternoon - the Western Fantasy Grand Canyon (ticket 60 yuan/person) . The canyon is made of deep red sandstone, which has been eroded and washed by thousands of years of wind and rain, forming wonderful gullies and lines. Come here to play and take pictures. It is recommended not to wear flowers in clothes. Solid colors are the best. We played here for about two hours before leaving, went back to the hotel to rest, and went to Ejina Banner Desert Populus euphratica Forest the next morning.

The next day: drive from the hotel at 6:00 in the morning for more than 6 hours, more than 600 kilometers, and arrive at the Populus euphratica Forest Scenic Spot in the Desert at around 12:00 noon (ticket: 120 yuan/person) After a good lunch, we first went to the tourist reception center, here It is currently the largest tourist distribution center in Ejina Banner, with an area of ​​5027 square meters. Then we visited Ruoshui Riverside, Taolinur Lake and Hongliu Bay, and went to the desert station to play the desert surfing car. Friends who like thrills must try it (80 yuan/person). We also participated in the experience of making cheese, milk skin, milk tofu and yogurt. We lived in the yurt in the scenic spot at night. It was amazing to live for the first time.

Day 3: Leave the Populus euphratica Forest Scenic Area at 12 o'clock in the morning, and drive for 20 minutes to reach the Heicheng ruins. You can eat and perform there, and you can take photos here. Standing on the steps to take pictures is very good. The Heicheng site is the most complete and largest ancient city site on the Silk Road. Don't miss the strange forest in the afternoon, you can take silhouettes against the light.

In the evening we found a random inn in the town to rest, and drove back to Yinchuan on the fourth day.

1. Populus euphratica forest in the desert is recommended to visit in September-October. The golden Populus euphratica forest is more beautiful. It will be very cold at night, remember to bring thick clothes.

2. The strange forest in Heicheng is suitable for afternoon play, and the strange forest at dusk is full of phantoms and grotesque.

3. The ultraviolet rays here are very strong. Remember to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, lip balm, cold medicine, and gunpowder.
