It is far away from the city. It's easy to get there, but you can. When you come back, I don't have a car. It is recommended to go by car.

The red brick village buildings surrounding the main building of the International Artist Pavilion are very modern and it wins the day not to waste your trip.

Yinchuan Han Meilin Art Museum

If you don’t Idon’t sell tickets separately, you need to buy a pass to the Rock Art Museum, but it is worth the price. The two exhibition halls include outdoor rock painting tours in Helan Mountain.

The art museum is located at the foot of Helan Mountain. If I were to talk about the most beautiful art museum in China, I would definitely choose it here. The quality and quantity of Mr. Han’s exhibitions are worthy of everyone’s attention and are suitable for all ages.

It is recommended to drive by yourself, the road conditions are great and there are considerable mountain views along the way.

If you are lucky, you will encounter blue sheep.
