Liz is right. During the peak season (May-October) every year, a large number of "migratory birds" fly from the sultry south to escape the heat.

I personally divide the landscapes around Yinchuan into three categories: 1. Natural scenery and historical monuments along Helan Mountain.

2. Wetlands and desert scenery along the Yellow River.

3. Urban historic sites and cultural landscapes.

Helan Mountain is to the west of the urban area, and the Yellow River is to the east of the urban area. The city happens to be built on a treasure land surrounded by mountains and rivers. Generally speaking, it takes more than half a day to visit Category 1 or Category 2 scenic spots alone.

Category 1 landscapes include Shahu Lake, Zhenbeibao Cinema, Helan Mountain Rock Paintings, Rolling Bell Pass, and Western Xia Royal Tombs; Category 2 landscapes include Mingcui Lake, Shuidonggou, Huangsha Ancient Ferry, and Riverside Avenue; Category 3 landscapes include Ningxia Museum (

It used to be in the West Tower Museum, but is now moved to the east side of People's Square), Lanshan Park, Yuehai Park, Nanguan Mosque, and Yongning Chinese Homecoming Cultural Park.

An introduction to the accommodation situation in the three main districts of Yinchuan: 1. Xixia District: The westernmost district and the largest district. How big is it?

This district covers the area from the railway to the foot of Helan Mountain. At the same time, this district is also the district with the smallest population density.

Large in scope and small in population, this area is dominated by industry and universities.

Advantages: Quiet, few people, convenient transportation, Ningda is very lively at night, prices are low, there are night markets and street stalls, and there are many snacks.

It is closer to the train station (it is now more inconvenient to go to Xixia District after the new train station is opened and there are fewer lines.) Traveling is closer to Helan Mountain.

Disadvantages: There are few places to stay, the accommodation conditions are average, and it is far away from the commercial center of Yinchuan City and the airport bus station.

Accommodation situation: There are many small hotels with prices ranging from 60-80 RMB. I have never stayed in one but it is said to be reliable because many students stay there on weekends.

There is also the only international youth travel agency in Ningxia. The better ones are the guest houses of some departments, which are not large in number and have average conditions.

There is a lack of chain-type express hotels and mid- to high-end hotels.

Suitable for self-guided travel by tourists and backpackers.

Recommendation: Xixia Youth Hostel, the location is great, next to the night market, the bus station is at the door, and there is a direct minibus to the film and television city.

Recommendation index: three stars, the best choice for those who want to play economically and like the atmosphere around campus.

2. Jinfeng District: A district between Xixia District and Xingqing District, which belongs to the new district.

Advantages: quiet, forest park, beautiful scenery.

Disadvantages: There are fewer businesses, it is more inconvenient, and it is far from the train station and the airport bus.

Accommodation situation: Except for Yuehai Hotel (five stars), Kempinski (5 stars), and Days Business Hotel (4 stars), there is really no place to stay, and the hotel prices are very expensive. It is difficult to take a taxi when traveling at night.

Recommendation index: One star, unless you have a car, it is not recommended to live in this area.

3. Xingqing District: the oldest urban district in Yinchuan City.

Advantages: There are many accommodation options, ranging from budget to 5-star, convenient transportation, close to the airport bus, many food streets, and the bustling Xinhua business district is located.

Disadvantages: The roads in the old city are narrow. Traffic congestion has been serious in the past two years. Many roads have been changed to one-way. It is extremely difficult to take a taxi in the peak season.

Accommodation status: Home Inn, Jinjiang Inn, Hanting, Super 8, 7 Days, basically all the famous express hotels are available.

High-end hotels include Holiday Inn, Hongqiao Hotel, Oasis Hotel, Ningfeng Hotel, etc.

The most recommended ones by netizens are Jinjiang Inn Gulou and Home Inn Gulou. First of all, in terms of location, these two stores are very close to Gulou and Xinhua Street business district. Jinjiang Inn is located behind the street, so it is quiet in the bustle.

The indoor environment of this Jinjiang hotel is also very good. It is recommended to stay at Jinjiang Inn Gulou (if you can get it during the peak season). By the way, there are currently 7 Days Inn (on the pedestrian street), Super Eight (Jinjiang) available around Gulou.

You can see the signboard opposite the Star, but you need to go around the entrance next to the Gulou Computer Market to enter). I passed by there a few days ago and found that a Hanting in Zhongxin Lane was being renovated. It was also on the back street. It will definitely be a very good place in the future.

s Choice.

Taking into account the popularity of hotels in the peak season, if the hotels around the Drum Tower are full, you can also consider the following accommodations: 1. Along Jiefang Street: 7 Days West Tower, 3 stops west of the Drum Tower (not far away, about ten minutes' walk)

, Xinhe Holiday Hotel, Suba Dakun Branch.

2. Along Zhongshan Street: such as Zhongshan Store, 7 Days Inn Zhongshan, HNA Park Hyatt Hotel. The advantage of staying on Zhongshan Street is that there are many delicious food around and it is close to the tourist bus station.

If you live around Gulou, then whether you go to the train station, go to Nanmen (airport bus) or go to Nanmen Long-distance Bus Station (it used to be in Nanmen, but now it has moved to a place further south, everyone is still used to calling it Nanmen Bus Station)

), you can take the great bus No. 1, which is also the bus line that ends in Yinchuan at the latest, until midnight.

If you want to go to Yinnan area, Zhongwei Shapotou, you must go to the South Gate Bus Station; if you want to go to Shahu, Yinbei Shizuishan, and Inner Mongolia Linhe Wuhai area, you must go to the North Gate Tourist Bus Station.

If you unfortunately go to the wrong station, we also have the relief bus number 3 that can take you to another station at any time.
