In winter, people often think of ice and snow, cold wind blowing, but today's Helan Mountain is very quiet and beautiful illuminated by the warm sun in winter.
Different from the scorching heat of summer, the warm sun of this winter will make people feel comfortable physically and mentally. Strolling at the foot of Helan Mountain, overlooking the mountains with multiple peaks, one or two naughty blue sheep occasionally run past behind them. In the blue sky, Birds fly by in pairs, just such a picture makes people feel very satisfied and at ease. Such a happy and contented day makes people feel full of joy.
1. Icefall scenery
Today's Helan Mountain petroglyphs are a world of ice scenes. Walking in the ice scenes of different shapes, you can enjoy the winter scenery that belongs to Helan Mountain alone. The 100-meter-high ice waterfall pours down, the ice waterfall hanging on the mountain and the bare mountain body It looks unusually harmonious. At this time, I thought that if I could revel in the mountains, it would be a worthwhile trip. I suddenly thought of the scene of playing and skating with my friends on the ice when I was a child. The happiness at that time was so simple.
2. Thousand-year rock paintings
In this mountain, there is not only a lingering feast of ice scenery, but also mysterious rock paintings that have survived for thousands of years. The ancient rock paintings on both sides of the Helankou mountain in Helan Mountain are like a comic book, silently telling the story of primitive human production and life here. . In the tens of thousands of years of time, the history that we have never understood is vividly displayed in front of our eyes, waiting for us to explore slowly.
In ancient times, Helan Mountain was the place where the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turkic, Uighur, Tubo, Dangxiang and other northern minorities lived, lived and multiplied. 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.
Helankou is more than 50 kilometers away from Yinchuan City. It is located in Jinshan Township, Helan County, in the middle of Helan Mountain. The mountain is high and steep, with an altitude of 1448 meters. The scenery of the mountain pass is elegant, with strange peaks and barriers, and gurgling springs flowing out of the ditch. There are more than a thousand petroglyphs with individual graphics distributed on the rock walls of the mountain stretching for more than 600 meters on both sides of the valley. The art form of the picture is rough and vigorous, the composition is simple, the posture is natural, and the realism is strong. Portraits of people accounted for more than half of the total. Followed by cattle, horses, donkeys, deer, birds, wolves and other animal graphics.
The portraits of people are simple and strange. Some heads have horns, some have feathers, and some wear pointed or round caps. The petroglyphs depicting women, some wearing headdresses, and some wearing hair buns, are elegant and elegant, reproducing the ancient women's pursuit of beauty thousands of years ago. Some have big ears, high noses and hairy faces, some have bones in their mouths, and some have striped or curved lines on their faces. There are also several facial features resembling a standing human figure with bent arms, legs spread apart, and a long knife at the waist, showing the image of a totem witch.

The ancient culture needs to be inherited and carried forward by human beings from generation to generation. Even after tens of thousands of years, it is still unforgettable.
