In the eastern part of Helan Mountain (Ningxia part), there are rock paintings left by nomads thousands of years ago (Helan Mountain petroglyphs); there is also a forest park (Suyukou National Forest Park), which is rare in the arid areas of Northwest China, with endless trees. It is also a good place to enjoy the snow; there are also the remains of the ancient Xixia Pagodas (Twin Pagodas at Baisikou), the palace of Li Yuanhao, the founding emperor of Xixia (Rolling Bellkou), and the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty (Sanguankou).
