The next thing I want to talk about is the accommodation issue in Ningxia. When I was talking about the accommodation issue, the editor thought of the "Westward Journey" a long time ago. This movie can also be said to be a classic. I like it very much. . Accommodation
Stayed at Jinjiang Inn South Gate Plaza Airport Bus Store for four nights, which saves you the trouble of changing hotels and moving luggage. Moreover, the main consideration is to take the airport bus to Yinchuan that night and check in nearby for convenience. Anyway, go to other places. You have to rent a car or take a taxi, and the driver will pick you up, so it doesn't matter. The location is just opposite the Nanguan Mosque, and it's not far from the pedestrian street of Nanmen Square and Drum Tower.
Accommodation in Ningxia is very convenient. This time I visited Yinchuan and Zhongwei in Ningxia. In Yinchuan city, there are many hotel choices. In the city, I stayed at Jinjiang Star, which cost more than 100 yuan. Then you can stay in a nice room; when you get to Zhongwei, live near Shapotou. Most of them are farmhouses with accommodation and food. Accommodation is cheap and can be purchased for less than 100 yuan. Food is more expensive and the taste is average. If you want delicious food, go to Zhongwei City. Travel Notes
Day1: Hangzhou-Yinchuan
Accommodation: Yinchuan Lingwu Huafeng Business Hotel
Address: Qinshui Yayuan Commercial Street, Linhe Town, Lingwu, Yinchuan, near Yinchuan Ancient highway.
It was an easy trip. We were in Sanming the day before yesterday, Hangzhou the day before yesterday, and Nanxun yesterday. All it took was one air ticket for flight CA1925 from Hangzhou, Ningxia to Yinchuan (17:40-20:30)< /p>

It was already past 8 pm when we arrived in Ningxia. I didn’t want to be too tired, so I stayed at the Yinchuan Lingwu Huafeng Business Hotel near the airport. It cost 134 yuan for a standard room. The room was neither big nor small, clean and comfortable. , the guy at the hotel front desk was very enthusiastic, helped us carry our luggage to the room, and even treated us to dates.

Accommodation: Jinjiang Inn (Yinchuan Nanmen Square Airport Bus Store) (former Civil Aviation Building Branch)
< p>Address: No. 456, Changcheng East Road, Xingqing DistrictWhen you come to Ningxia, how can you miss the beef ramen here? You must eat it in Yun Xiao Alley, it is not expensive and delicious, the noodles are 5 yuan, and the beef is 6 yuan Yuan, give me an egg and side dishes.
When we arrived in Ningxia, we chose to stop and go in the urban area. Our first stop was Yinchuan Chengtian Temple. Tickets are 20 yuan. Tickets can be bought on site, but reservations cannot be made online. Chengtian Temple Tower does not have much publicity to the outside world. The government mainly focuses on protection. There are few tourists in the temple and it is very quiet.
What’s interesting is that there are a lot of magpies inside, flying happily. The uncle guarding the tower is very interesting. He always dislikes our bad angle for taking pictures of the tower and teaches us which position is the best for taking pictures.
When we went up to the tower, he advised us to put down all our things and place them firmly with each step. When going upstairs, women should go in front and men should go in the back. When going downstairs, men should go in front and women should go in the back. It was super considerate and refreshing I feel particularly happy.
The tower is 64.5 meters high and has one to eleven floors. It was easy at first and I didn’t care about the floors. But it started to be a bit difficult on the fifth and sixth floors. When I reached the eighth floor, I subconsciously looked for the floor number. , wondering why we haven’t arrived yet, gritted our teeth and stepped on the stairs to the eleventh floor. The light was much better.
When I reached the top, I felt that the whole world was bright and everything became beautiful. The sultry heat and frustration downstairs were suddenly released. That kind of joy filled every cell of the body, and we There are too many times in life, but it is just the last step. The inside of the tower is well preserved, and the scenery outside the tower is very good. Hug the person you like, watch the wind blow your hair, the years are quiet, and I am lucky to meet you

Ticket: 20 yuan
Transportation: Chengtian Temple The tower is located in the center of the old town of Yinchuan. You can take bus No. 19 or 23 and get off at the "Xita" station. If you are in the old town, it is not too far to walk there.
Haibao Pagoda: Before we went, people told us that the Haibao Temple garden was not big, but when we went there we found out that the pagoda is in Haibao Park. The park is very big and beautiful, and Haibao Temple can be seen from a distance.
Haibao Pagoda is also called Hebao Pagoda and Black Pagoda. It is located in the northern suburbs of Yinchuan City, 1.5 kilometers away from the city wall. Because it is far away from the Chengtian Temple Tower in the west of Yinchuan City, it is also commonly known as the North Tower. Haibao Pagoda echoes the Chengtian Temple Pagoda in the city. It is one of the eight scenic spots in Ningxia and is known as the ancient pagoda reaching the sky.
There is a quiet atmosphere in this noisy city. The only bad thing is that there are too many people begging. This is a square tower with relatively strong incense, and you can smell the smell of piety in the smoke. It has a history of more than 400 years since it was rebuilt after the earthquake. It can be said to be a landmark building in Yinchuan. Birdsong can be heard everywhere in the temple. They are not afraid of people and can be seen everywhere. Everything makes people feel harmonious and beautiful. I watched people burning incense from the outside to the inside. , always feeling like their prayers will come true.
Out of the gate, you can’t help but look back. It is standing there quietly, waiting for new people to worship.
The restaurant for online group purchase, Fuyu_, is away from Haibao Tower is a few kilometers away, and it costs 8 yuan to take a taxi. In Yinchuan, a taxi is not expensive at all, as long as the taxi driver takes you around. The environment here is very elegant. Many people have afternoon tea and lunch here. The portions are generous and the price is not expensive, only about 30 yuan.
Afternoon tour, Drum Tower - Ningyuan - Yuhuang Pavilion - Nanguan Mosque, all in one line, and it is very convenient to take a car. Yinchuan Drum Tower is located at the intersection of Jiefang East and West Street and Drum Tower North and South Street in Yinchuan City. The base is square and made of bricks and stones. It is now a key protected unit in Yinchuan City, Ningxia.
On the second day after we arrived in Yinchuan, we stayed at the Jinjiang Inn next to the Nanhuan Mosque. Because it was close, we decided to visit other attractions first. When we came back, it was already six o'clock. Drone was completely unable to walk on high heels. He struggled for a long time with just these few steps. Finally, he decided to go and have a look. Because it was close to closing (opening hours: 8:00-18:30), there were only a few steps. Personally, there was actually a small fountain spraying water inside, and he walked calmly through the middle. In the middle of the roof stands one large and four small green domes, with a crescent moon symbol hanging high on the top.
Climb up the curved stairs to the second-floor platform. Between the platform and the main hall is a white marble-veneered double-center circular colonnade. We took pictures from a high point, and the afterglow of the setting sun gave the entire temple a golden glow. By the time we came down from the high point, the fountain had stopped, and we could just take photos of the reflection. We watched him focus on finding the angle on the wet ground. I thought such a serious look was really handsome and charming. When I saw the photo later, I was really shocked. Everything was just right. The light, water shadow, and angle were perfect in my opinion.
I am very glad that I went to see it, neither too early nor too late. You don’t need to be too deliberate in life. You accept everything you encounter happily, face it calmly when you miss it, and always believe in beautiful things. It's about to happen. I'm very happy to meet you at your most beautiful time - Nanguan Mosque.

Day3: King of Xixia Ling—Zhenbeibao Western Cinema
Accommodation: Jinjiang Inn (Yinchuan South Gate Square Airport Bus Store) (former Civil Aviation Building Branch)
Address: Changcheng East Road, Xingqing District No. 456
Xixia Royal Tombs: May to October is the best time to visit. It usually takes three to four hours to visit. You can go to Zhenbeibao Film and Television City in the afternoon. This way you can have a fulfilling day without feeling tired. It’s too late! It was the first stop for us to rent a car and drive ourselves. It was obviously not far away, only 30 kilometers away from Yinchuan city, but because the highway was closed, it took a long time to get there after twists and turns. From a distance, you can see four big characters written on the gate of the scenic spot, which are Xixia characters. Unfortunately, I don’t recognize them. Xixia culture is fully displayed here, and the trash cans are also very Xixia style.
It is one of the largest existing imperial cemeteries in China with the most complete ground ruins. It is also the largest existing Xixia cultural site. It is also the only scenic spot composed of a single imperial mausoleum among the 119 national key scenic spots in China. The scenic area is quite large! It covers an area of ??53 square kilometers and consists of the Xixia Cemetery, the Xixia Museum, the Forest of Steles, and the Xixia History and Art Museum.
There are nine imperial tombs distributed, and there are 254 tombs of princes and relatives. There is also a Xixia Museum inside. What is interesting is the Xixia History and Art Museum, which uses scenes to show the development of Xixia and Destruction, allowing you to easily understand the past of Xixia and feel the changes in history. The museum, history museum and Forest of Steles are all very close, making it very convenient to visit.
A little further away from the mausoleum, the sunshine in the north is extremely strong, the sky is extremely beautiful, the blue sky and white clouds are clear, which will make you feel that everything in the world is quiet and beautiful. Wearing stilettos and carrying a drone, you are approaching the royal tomb. At that time, I walked very slowly on the gravel road, and the wind blew my hair and wrapped it around my body. This is a very tempting place. From the high tower, at a glance, Helan Mountain is like a huge screen across the northwest, the Yellow River is like a crystal jade belt passing around the city, and not far away is the fertile Hetao Plain beyond the Great Wall in the south of the Yangtze River. Historically, this place was the focus of competition between northern ethnic minorities and the Central Plains dynasties, the most legendary of which was the Xixia Dynasty.
Okay! I am narcissistic. Here, the whole person is empty. Those worldly worries instantly dissipate in the wind. In many places, there is really magic and can bring us many differences. The feeling will shock our hearts! In fact, at that moment, if there was no one, I would want to dance there!!!
We are all puzzled as to why these tombs can be maintained without any obstruction around them. It was preserved in the wind and sand for such a long time. (When I came back and looked up the information, I found out that because the surface was covered with gravel and coarse sand, the foundation had a large load-bearing capacity, poor water retention, and good natural drainage conditions, the Xixia Mausoleum successfully survived the historical crisis in the northwest region. Many major earthquakes and low rainfall are beneficial to the overall protection of the cemetery. )
Looking at this product of superb construction technology in ancient times, I suddenly wanted to see the pyramids in Egypt. The Tombs of the Western Xia Dynasty are also known as the Pyramids of China! I don’t know what kind of feeling the pyramids of Egypt will bring to people, so I am looking forward to it! No matter how many roads I have walked or how many scenery I have seen, I am looking forward to seeing you. Let’s go together to see the beauty of this world

Day 4: Yellow River Tower - Qingtongxia Yellow River Grand Canyon - Qingtongxia 108 Tower
Accommodation: Zhongwei Tongjia Eden
Address: Shapotou District Vacation Travel No. 21, Nongjia New Village
I have known my old friend Xici Yellow Crane Tower since I was a child. If I had not come to Ningxia, I think I would never have known that there is a Yellow River Tower. It was built by Ningxia's excavation of the Yellow River culture. A series of landmark buildings, seen from the parking lot through the branches of trees, are already very imposing. There is an unearthly beauty in this vast plain, as if they are the only ones left in the world, allowing people to take a closer look. desire.
The main building of the Yellow River Tower is composed of three parts: the underground, the city platform, and the pavilion. The architectural style is Ming and Qing Dynasty antique architecture. The main building is a concrete frame-shear structure, the outer eaves are steel structures, and the brackets are all made of aluminum and magnesium. It is made of alloy and decorated with "Hexi Painting". The top is designed as a local-style double-eaves cross ridge, and the roof is paved with golden glazed tiles. The overall style is grand and grand.
Maybe it’s not publicized enough. Maybe most people like us don’t know there is such a place, so it’s not busy inside. You don’t have to worry about someone grabbing your shot. You have to cross a bridge after entering the gate. , at the end of the bridge towers the twelve zodiac totem poles.
When I climbed up the steps step by step and approached the Xuanwu Gate, did you know? It seemed like I had traveled through time and space, and I felt like I was about to ascend the throne and become emperor. When I turned around and took a look, the world was at my feet. This is the plain. The advantage is that as long as you stand a little higher, you will have the feeling of overlooking the heroes, which is very different from us in the south.

This is the plain. The advantage is that as long as you stand a little higher, you will have the feeling of overlooking the heroes, which is very different from us in the south.
It doesn’t look spectacular when taking pictures, but it still looks majestic, maybe because the building is thicker! The Yellow River Tower was only completed in 2012, so it describes the development history of the Yellow River very well. Comprehensive, it can fully demonstrate the "Yellow River Culture" to us. The building is 108 meters high and the construction area is even more amazing.
There is a Yellow River Museum inside. You can watch the 3D demonstration quietly, or slowly pass by each item that contains the history of the Yellow River. There are also simulated scenes that allow you to experience the past and present lives of the Yellow River.
I like traveling, and I like to be exposed to different customs and cultures. I am curious about all the unknown. Different places always open up a new world for me. It’s so wonderful! There is an elevator in the building that can go directly When you climb to the top, you really feel like you have a panoramic view of all the small mountains. The view is excellent, but you don't see the rolling water of the Yellow River, nor do you feel the majestic scenery of the rushing river. When we came down, a group of old people rushed up the stairs, saying it was a good idea to exercise, which was embarrassing.
This place is really suitable for people who are interested in the history of our ancient Chinese country. If you are interested, you can come and find out. It is almost halfway between Yinchuan and Zhongwei, and it is very suitable for self-driving!
Qingtongxia Grand Canyon: There are Dujiangyan in the south and Qingtongxia in the north. When I came to Ningxia and visited many places, the biggest feeling I felt was that there were few people in the scenic spots. The development and promotion of the scenic spots were lacking. No one, no one! If there are too many people, it will be crowded, but if there are too few people, it will be crowded. , you will also feel that the atmosphere is missing! The route for this day is to start from Yinchuan and destination Zhongwei, first to the Yellow River Tower, and then to here, all on the way!
The biggest difference between this place and other scenic spots in Ningxia is that , the sightseeing bus is super cheap, available on call, only 2 yuan, while other places are 25 or 35 yuan, it’s really not worth it. We didn't take the sightseeing bus when we entered, and just passed by Jiuqu Square casually. It is said that it is not only a sculpture, but also the epitome of bronze style. In front of it is the Qingtongxia Water Conservancy Museum. I saw the sheepskin raft for the first time. At first, I thought it was a bulging bag made of many piglets tied together. I pressed it and found that it was very soft. I was very curious. What is filled in the middle?
Can you imagine? I went back to Baidu and found out that it needs to be blown by someone to make it full, and this is where the saying "bragging" comes from. When local people see someone boasting about Haikou and talking big words, they often taunt him with "please go to the Yellow River", which means asking him to blow a sheepskin bag or a cowhide bag. I gained a lot of experience during this trip and discovered many allusions.
There are also many introductions about water conservancy in the museum, which made me eager to see the Qingtongxia Dam! It was built in the 1960s, and at the same time it was built as the only gate-pier type dam in China. The hydropower station has formed a canyon-shaped reservoir with a capacity of 6 million cubic meters and a backwater of five kilometers. There is a bridge on the dam, and it is super beautiful when taking pictures. You must take it if you go there!
I have been to many places, but I don’t know anything about Ningxia. I didn’t do any homework before setting off, and I didn’t even think about it. I would come to see the Yellow River, and really stroll along the Yellow River, as if I was in a dream. This was my dream many years ago. I didn’t expect that my dream suddenly came true, and I felt very moved. This section of Qingtongxia Dam can only be walked, so you can see the dam in all aspects.
After passing the dam, there will be a ferry taking us to the 108 Tower. The waves set off by the ferry slap the reeds on the shore. The Yellow River and the dam under the blue sky and white clouds have a different kind of beauty.
The ferry leaves on the hour, and one hour is enough to visit. The One Hundred and Eight Pagodas are a rare group of pagodas at home and abroad. Buddhism attributes the troubles of life to 108 bells. In order to eliminate troubles, it is stipulated that 108 beads should be worn, 108 chants of sutras should be chanted, and 108 bells should ring. The purpose of building 108 pagodas is to eliminate them. Worries, it is said that people who come here to visit can eliminate their worries and bring good luck as long as they worship the tower.
The pagoda follows the mountain top and is arranged in twelve rows according to the odd numbers of 1, 3, 3, 5, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, and 19, totaling There are one hundred and eight towers, forming a huge group of towers with a triangular overall plane. It is named after the number of towers.
This time I was carrying a heavy load (carrying a drone), but I still felt extremely happy and happy inside. I always felt that happiness came too fast and too suddenly. Slowly I discovered that there is no place in this world that dreams cannot reach, only if you forget to dream and smile. Did you know? If you have seen the most beautiful scenery, there will definitely be more beautiful ones ahead
Counting one tower can eliminate a kind of trouble. If you can count all the towers in one breath, you can eliminate them all. Trouble in life, many tourists have to count the towers at this point. Oops, they were just taking pictures and forgot to count!!! Climbing to the highest point of the tower is really difficult, but the moment I look back, the breeze blows gently on my face. , there are a few tourists walking around in the square, the Yellow River not far away is quiet, the mountains and the blue sky in the distance connect the city, this is the most beautiful picture, people can't help but marvel!
All the way Driving towards the central defender of the setting sun, poetry and the distance lie ahead.
I stayed at Zhongwei Tongjia Eden, just next to Shapotou. The accommodation is casual, like a farmhouse, and the price is cheap, 65 yuan a night. The room is pretty good, but the food is more expensive. , 128 yuan for a set meal, you can also order your own dishes, the price is not cheap.

Address: No. 21, Holiday Tourism Farm Village, Shapotou District
Before departure, I had always heard about Tonghu Grassland. When I was driving almost a few kilometers from my destination, I saw the border of Inner Mongolia, which broke my heart! I arrived in Inner Mongolia. I was so excited. Then I found out that Tonghu Grassland is in the Tengger Desert. Well! I felt like I was hit by happiness. This is the holy land of my dreams. I don’t know how many surprises this trip will give me. , as soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw many boys and girls wearing ethnic minority costumes riding horses. A beautiful girl had her hair neatly pulled up, and was wearing a long white skirt. The hem of the skirt was spread out on the horse, becoming a Incredibly beautiful scenery.
Half is desert, half is lake, and half is grassland, Alxa Tonghu Grassland.
The lake is smaller than expected, but there are many fish in the water! The reflections taken are quite attractive. There is no one in the grassland. If it were not on the edge of the desert, no one would probably see it, but the sheep walking around in the distance and the horses grazing at will give it a different style. Take a battery car to the desert.
There were so many people riding camels and off-road vehicles. There was no loneliness as expected in the desert. We chose to walk. The shoe covers we rented were very beautiful and red, perfect for taking photos. Only by walking by yourself can you feel more. The weather in late September is still very sunny, but it is much softer than midsummer. The sand is not boiling hot. Sitting on the ground, it feels very soft.
It seems that I am just a small piece of gravel in this world. At this moment, I couldn’t help but post it on WeChat Moments, eager to tell the world that I arrived in Tengger and realized another dream. , accept your envy, jealousy and hatred! God’s reply is: Is there a signal in the desert?
Start to fly the drone, I will take photos next to it, the drone is in front, and two overweight SLRs are placed in the bag On the road, the sound of people in the distance has disappeared. From time to time, you can hear the screams of people riding off-road vehicles rushing into the sand. The whole world has become quiet, and time seems to have slowed down.
Taking pictures in the desert is so beautiful, and the shadows you take are different from other places! You may not know that Longmen Inn and Ciling were both shot in Tengger!
p>Have you ever seen the swings and seesaws in the desert? They are placed next to Ciling Inn. If you have time, sit on the swings and watch the sunset in the desert. Will you feel that the years are peaceful and your heart is quiet? Will my softness be touched? I want it to last forever!
It’s really tiring to drive and hike with heavy loads! But when you see beauty around the corner, you feel that everything is worth it

There is no food in Tonghu Grassland. In the scenic area, you know, it is expensive and not necessarily delicious. I found it online and ate at the Hongliang Farm Donkey Meat Restaurant in Zhongwei City. I couldn’t help it. I recommend it to everyone. The boss is super nice. We ordered the set meal and added another pound of hand-caught mutton. He said we wouldn’t be able to finish it. If you want, just eat half a pound. It tastes great and the price is affordable. There are also dates you can pick.
Ningxia Zhongwei Tengger Jinsha Island Leisure Resort is located on the southeastern edge of the Tengger Desert, the fourth largest desert in China, and complements the Tengger Lake. The entrance fee is 60 yuan and the sightseeing car is 30 yuan.
In fact, it has passed its most beautiful time in late September, but fortunately, there are still large tracts of verbena, which are purple like lavender and are also extremely beautiful. If you look around, you will be amazed. What I love about it is that it has no fragrance at all.
While flying the drone, an old man asked me to be his model and told me how to pose without showing my face. His friend told him to leave quickly, so he hurriedly took a few pictures. Then I said goodbye and started taking photos happily with my camera. Unexpectedly, the uncle came back again and asked me to pose with the camera for him to take pictures. He stood and squatted for a while with his mobile phone, looking at various angles. I was still wondering in my mind whether the photo was good or not! In the end, I didn’t think to take a look at the effect. It was so stupid!
Sorry! Unfortunately, this area is a no-fly zone, and after a long time of searching, it was still impossible to take aerial photography. I want to say that I have seen the desert, the grasslands in the desert, the lakes in the desert, and the gardens in the desert on this day. Let’s take some photos here to make them look pretty, haha.

< p>The last stop today is Shapotou, the filming location for Where Are We Going, Dad? It has two entrances, the main entrance is the entrance to the Yellow River, and the side entrance is the entrance to the desert. This is a place that is half Yellow River and half desert, and we will be there today Watching the sunset in the desert, but entering from the entrance of the Yellow River, it was a bit tragic, but also a surprise, because I watched the sunset on the Yellow River first, there was the solitary smoke in the desert, the sunset in the Yellow River, and the sheepskin rafts floating in the water. .To be honest, in such weather and such turbid Yellow River, I don’t have the courage to sit on it. The 3D Glass Bridge over the Yellow River under the setting sun also has a sense of isolation and independence. Everyone we meet is walking back, but we have just arrived.
It’s easy for me to hike with weights now, but I didn’t expect that the sandy slope that the staff said could be easily climbed in five or six minutes would be a big hurdle for me. It was almost 75 by visual inspection. At an angle, people were playing happily next to me. My legs were almost weak from fear. I didn’t even look back. I just stared at the road in front of me. However, there was too much sand in my shoes to fit my feet, and the bag on my shoulders was already there. It was so heavy that it dragged me backwards, but I still couldn't see the end ahead. It was never there yet. Why was it not the end yet? I couldn't hold on for a while, and I couldn't take the last step. I stopped to take a breath, and still Well, there is an end. When I climbed to the top, I applauded myself in my heart, and then poured out a few kilograms of sand with my slippers!
Shapotou - southeast of the Tengger Desert in the west of Zhongwei City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region edge. There have been many touching stories in this desert. Here, Fairy Zixia said, "Whoever can pull out the sword in my hand is my sweetheart"; here, Zhizunbao looks at Fairy Zixia's retreating back; here is the beginning of the story, with Fairy Zixia An unpredictable ending.
And this was just near the entrance to the desert area, and I saw that the sun was almost setting. After finally arriving at the destination, I found that today's sunset was not very beautiful, but I put down my bag and felt like I was about to fly. I took off my shoes, the sand was very soft and did not hurt my feet at all. I sat there and watched the sunset disappear little by little. It was not so What does beauty have to do with it? The artistic conception is enough now, the fatigue is gone, and this walk has made me grow, and the most beautiful sunset remains in my heart.
The camera was taking time-lapse photography. We took out water and biscuits to satisfy our hunger, and looked at the bright moon of Qin Dynasty on the iPad until all the light disappeared. We were wondering if there would be stars tonight, and the temperature dropped quickly. , we had to pack up our things and walk back. We were the only ones left on the huge sandy slope. It was still the same steep sandy slope, and the light from the mobile phone could only shine in front of us. We walked down one step at a time, but we didn’t feel anything at all. Scared, but also fun, the speed is much faster than before.
It took nearly an hour to go out. Such a quiet night, that period of time and space that only belongs to you, you will smile unconsciously when you think about it many years later! There is no place in Shapotou, you You can definitely bring a tent for camping, watch the sunset and watch the stars, watch the stars and watch the sunrise
