The landscape around Yinchuan, I personally divided them into three categories, 1, natural scenery and historical monuments along the Helan Mountain. 2, wetlands and desert scenery along the Yellow River. 3, urban monuments and cultural landscape. 3, the city's historical monuments and humanistic landscapes.
Helan Mountain in the city to the west, the Yellow River in the city to the east, the city is just built on a mountain and water treasure, generally speaking, a separate tour of 1 or 2 types of scenic spots are to be half a day. 1 type of landscape has a sand lake, Zhen Beibu studio, Helan Mountain rock paintings, rolling bell mouth, the mausoleum of the Xixia Kings; 2 type of landscape has a Ming Cui Lake, water hole ditch, Huangsha ancient ferry and the riverfront avenue; 3 type of landscape has a museum in Ningxia (formerly in the West Tower Museum, now moved to the city). It used to be in the West Tower Museum, but now it is relocated to the east side of People's Square), Banyanshan Park, Yuhai Park, Nanguan Mosque, and Yongning Chinese Hometown Culture Park.
Introduction of accommodation in the three main districts of Yinchuan:
1, Xixia District: the westernmost district, but also the largest district, how big is it? From the railroad all the way to the foot of Helan Mountain is the scope of this district, at the same time this district is also the least densely populated district. It's a large district with a small population, and it's dominated by industry and colleges and universities.
Advantages: quiet, few people, convenient transportation, very lively at night near Ning University, low prices, night market and stalls, lots of snacks. Closer to the train station (now the new train station opened to the Xixia District is a little more inconvenient than before, fewer lines.) Travel closer to Helan Mountain.
Weaknesses: fewer places to stay, average accommodation, far from the commercial center of Yinchuan and the airport bus.
Accommodation: There are a number of small hotels with prices ranging from 60-80. I have not stayed there but I am told that the reliability is fair as many students go there on weekends. There is also the only international youth travel agency in Ningxia, and the better ones are the guest houses of some departments, which are few in number and in average condition. There is a lack of chain hotels and mid-range hotels. It is suitable for travelers and backpackers to travel on their own.
Recommended: Xixia Youth Hostel, location is superb, next to the night market, the door is the bus station, there are direct access to the film city of the bus.
Suggested index: three stars, want to play the economy, like the atmosphere around the campus of the best choice for friends.
2, Jinfeng District: Xixia District and Xingqing District in the middle of a district, belonging to the new district.
Advantages: quiet, forest park, beautiful scenery.
Disadvantages: less business, more inconvenient, far from the train station and the airport bus.
Accommodation: in addition to the Read Sea Hotel (5 stars), Kempinski (5 stars), Days Business Hotel (4 stars), really can not find any accommodation, and the hotel prices are very expensive, night travel is not good taxi.
Recommendation index: one star, unless you have a car, it is not recommended to stay in this district.
3, Xingqing District: the oldest urban area in Yinchuan City.
Pros: lots of accommodation options, from budget to 5-star, convenient transportation, close to the airport bus, lots of food streets, home to the bustling Xinhua shopping district.
Disadvantages: old city, narrow roads, serious traffic congestion problems in the past two years, many roads changed to one-way, extremely difficult to get a taxi in peak season.
Accommodation: Home, Jinjiang Star, Hanting, Speed 8, 7 days, basically a few famous fast hotels have. High-end hotels include Holiday Inn, Hongqiao Hotel, Oasis Hotel, Ningfeng Hotel and so on.
Netizens recommend the most is Jinjiang Star Gulou store and such as home Gulou store, first from the location of these two stores are very close to the Gulou and Xinhua Street shopping district, Jinjiang Star is in the backstreets, quiet and quiet, and the indoor environment of this Jinjiang is also very good, it is recommended to live in Jinjiang Star Gulou store (if the peak season can be snatched, if the) By the way, Gulou around the hotel you can choose there are currently 7 Days! (on the pedestrian street), speed eight (Jinjiang Star can be seen opposite the signboard, but need to detour around the Gulou computer market next to the mouth to enter), a few days ago passed by the neighborhood found that the center of the alley where a Hanting is being renovated, but also in the backstreet, in the future, but also absolutely is a very good choice.
Considering the hot season hotel, if the hotels around Gulou are full, you can also consider the following places to stay:
1, along Jiefang Street: 7 days West Tower store, Gulou 3 stops west (not far away, walk for about ten minutes), Xin and Holiday Inn, speed eight Dakun store.
2, along Zhongshan Street: Home Zhongshan store, 7 days Zhongshan store, HNA Park Hyatt Hotel, live in Zhongshan Street, the benefits of the surrounding food is more, and close to the tourist bus station.
If you live around the Drum Tower, then from whatever to the train station to the South Gate (airport bus) or to the South Gate coach station (formerly in the South Gate, now moved to the south of the farther south, we are still accustomed to call the South Gate bus station) can take the great 1 bus, which is also Yinchuan closes the latest bus line, to zero point.
If you want to go to the Yinan area, Zhongwei Shapotou, you must go to the South Gate Bus Station;
If you want to go to Shahu, Yibei Shizuishan, Inner Mongolia Linhe Wuhai area, you must go to the Beimen Tourist Bus Station.
If you are unfortunate enough to go to the wrong station, we have the relief No. 3 bus to get you to another station anytime.
Again, for transportation from the airport to the city and back, for those who get off the plane, you don't have to worry, there are airport buses available at the exit of the arrival hall of the airport for 20 RMB. But if you want to go from the city to the airport, you have to be careful, if you take the 11 am flight, it is better to catch the 9 am bus. Then BS about the airport cab, to the city only a dozen kilometers away actually want to price 80, is really damaging the image, it is best to get together three or four people to carpool together. From the city to the airport can ask for a meter, counting the round-trip highway fee (do not listen to the driver fooled that to charge double, from downtown Yinchuan to the airport round-trip highway fee as long as 12 yuan), fifty or sixty yuan enough.
Food:
Liberation Street's old Mao hand grabbed the Drum Tower store basically crowded with tourists, praise and bad reviews rose simultaneously, from the netizens feedback on the situation generally have a poor service attitude, late lamb cold and other problems, the old Mao hand grabbed a very famous, the taste is really good, but you do not have to squeeze to the store to go Oh, Yinchuan City, there are many outlets it. The specific location on the please Baidu it.
The Delong Building next to Lao Mao is getting more and more famous in the past few years, and its copper pot and charcoal-fired shabu-shabu are both excellent in terms of flavor and quality of the ingredients, but the price is also quite good, so if you want to go and have a good meal of high-quality meat and sun rolls, be prepared to pay 100 yuan per person.
Along Gulou North Street to the north 100 meters to Culture Street, this street has three stores I highly recommend, one of which is the Shahu Hotel, really eat breakfast in the mecca ah, because there are too many people lead to a lot of people do not want to go, but every morning is still super, the price is a little more expensive than the rest of the place, but the varieties are extremely rich in pasta, braised meat, a variety of congee, pancakes, small dishes, brine, beef, and often can not grab a large amount of meat. Beef, and often can not grab the big doughnut. Here you can eat authentic Ningxia braised snacks, inside the cabbage cake and eight treasure congee recommended.
Shahu Hotel diagonally across from the Li Zi Ramen, the reason why recommended because this is a Ningxia special beef ramen, compared to Lanzhou ramen green garlic, green onions, radish, this is put into the tomatoes and tofu, but the flavor is exceptionally good, ramen control should not be tried.
Additionally recommended two in the haggis, the original Yinchuan two now changed to fifteen, just across the high school in the southeast direction, there is a home in Nanjing Securities next to a not very big face, you can not find it can try to use your nose to sniff the smell of haggis soup, or try to find a place where people are always in and out of people out of the people with a napkin wiping their mouths, and there it is la. Online everyone recommended the famous A Ye haggis, in fact, this local than A Ye famous, where at least ten years, the taste is better than A Ye, suitable for tourists living near the Drum Tower to taste. As for the flavor of the haggis can not accept can only say that depends on personal preference.
Ningxia's home cooking, generally eat pickled mutton, roasted eggplant, shredded potatoes, seemingly ordinary can be said to be extremely underground rice, a meal can be taken out two bowls of rice, generally in the "Yonghong" this inconspicuous tavern, the northeast corner of the Yuhuangge charcoal fire home cooking is also good, it is best to go to the tavern hung with a halal signboards, big restaurants! The dishes inside are missing a bit of homemade flavor.
Sheep neck, can be said to be the lamb inside the best, both the tenderness of the hand-meat, but not so greasy, and inside the more bones, the meat is very fine. There are places that sell hand-me-downs, but you have to go early, and they are usually sold out in the afternoon. Or go to Fu Ren noodle shop, old papaya rubbing noodles inside can eat.
Can not be exempted from saying hand grabbing, in fact, in Yinchuan each family's flavor is similar, some small stores are also very good. If you have the conditions or go to Wuzhong to eat hand-me-downs, if Ningxia lamb is the best in China, Wuzhong lamb is the best in Ningxia, that traditional flavor is still retained, it is really tempting.
Stir-fried lamb, are playing the signboard of Huangquqiao, if you are interested in personally go to Huangquqiao to eat, the location of the 109 national highway past Pingluo to the north about 7 kilometers by the roadside, there are several, every family is similar, may be because of the reason of the quality of the water there, the lamb fried out especially tender, is now eaten to be done, the waiting time is a little bit longer. Yinchuan City, many families are lamb cooked first and then fried, obviously not enough flavor inside, or a little worse. Zhenbei Castle Studios near a few small stores sell, the flavor is also quite good.
Ramen, everywhere, Ningxia people's favorite breakfast, it is not easy to say which is the best, today said that the place may be a few days after the closure, to the residential areas to explore their own bar, the early rise of the place of the people is certainly not bad, the two years and the popularity of pickled vegetables ramen, it is worth a try.
Rubbing noodles, I think the most fragrant type of noodles, noodles and very chewy, famous is the old papaya and Xinhua Street, a product, the former branch but the level of the level of difference, the latter a little more expensive, but the taste is as good as ever.
Wild mushroom noodles, the aroma is no less than the rubbing of the noodles, all over the street, either Xiao Jian or Xiao Fei, I do not know who is the master, but the taste is quite good.
Zhujia pickled fried knife-shaved noodles, Yinchuan rare Han meal noodles, pork pickled noodles, fried and braised two kinds of fried and braised amount of addictive, braised soup taste more acidic a little bit, but also all over the street, all in the name of the train station Zujia, the store also sells marinated meat, suitable for wine.
Bowl steamed mutton, if the hand grasp many people can not accept the words, bowl steamed mutton absolutely won all the foreign tourists who have been praised, tender meat, soup fresh, properly seasoned cover the mutton stench and keep the flavor, three Yixuan is the most famous, the store address in Xingqing District, Jiefang East Street, and Jinfeng District, Minsheng Garden door.
Spicy explosion series, previously from a small store selling spicy explosion of small chicken began, and then we have imitated, these years is also the fire all over the street, as long as it is a barbecue store are sold, spicy explosion of chicken, spicy explosion of crayfish, spicy explosion of snails, spicy explosion of chicken claws, pattern is quite a lot.
Barbecue, Yinchuan barbecue prices and some big cities than up on the expensive side, a lot of friends back in the field are very surprised that the same dollar a string of barbecue meat how to only so little, but here is generally sold in the store are real mutton, or more reassuring. Famous barbecue store quite a lot, but generally reflect the level of ups and downs, or do not recommend a specific place, the same is the door is full of people, full of beer bottles of the place can go. Highly recommended grilled tendons, tender and delicious. Others can add some leeks, vegetarian chicken, potatoes and so on, and grilled cakes, the flavor completely into the cake, very tempting.
The following and then introduce some Han meal, is to sell pork restaurants, generally to Sichuan, Hunan cuisine, which sells some Ningxia-style dishes, generally go to the big diners, Jin Dingxuan (not Beijing that oh), small stone stove, full of Han restaurant, Ruifeng and Guifaxiang was once a red-hot, a long time do not go do not know what is now. Yinchuan slightly larger Han restaurant, in addition to the general Sichuan and Hunan dishes, but also sell pickled mutton, spicy pop lamb these, but also quite good. The most enjoyable is a big copper pot dish, with charcoal shabu shabu lamb kind of pot, inside full of strips of meat, dried vegetables, meatballs, tofu, vermicelli, etc., the amount is relatively large, only the number of people more than three people dare to order.
Lastly, let's talk about the snacks: the spicy hot pot, the girl's favorite. Cumin fried meat sandwich, especially delicious, you can put the outside of the bun fried, taste more crispy. Xie Kee mutton with buns in the West Tower, mutton control can not miss the food.
Yinchuan (Shuitonggou, Sand Lake, Zhenbeibao western movie city, the Mausoleum of the Western Xia Kings, Helan Mountain petroglyphs, Suyukou) three days
