There is a kind of encounter, called to go out for a walk, walk around, your vision will be broader; walk around, your mind will be calmer; walk around, your thoughts will be richer...

Every part of the world has its unique geographical features, its own unique historical context and cultural heritage. They have become branches of the mighty Chinese civilization. However, our understanding of the Northwest is still too superficial. Except for a few important fulcrums (scenic spots), the vast Northwest gives people the impression of desolation and roughness. The images in our classical poems are mostly deserts, lonely geese, camel bells, Qiang flutes... Most of the memories are golden and iron horses on ancient battlefields, full of historical sighs, full of pride for defending the country, and breathing out the grievances of homesickness... Come to Ningxia for a walk-and-go tour, and redefine the Northwest style.
