2025 Ningxia Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

In northern China lies the autonomous region of Ningxia which mostly characterised by sweeping sand dunes that go on for miles! I’ve been twice (January and June). In January, most of the desert and fresh water is completely frozen over which is quite surreal for a desert. 4X4 cars were able to drive over the oasis because it was so solidly frozen. In the summer, it can become quite warm but still comfortable enough to camp overnight. There are camel rides available although we chose to hike. Away from the same dunes, you can find wine vineyards and pretty mountains. A great place for nature lovers #ningxia #mountainview #deserts #china

The Great Wall of China and the Yellow River is a place that you can’t miss if you are in the city of Zhongwei. The recommended sightseeing time is half an hour or maximum one hour. This place is an impressive archeological gem, its facade is beautiful and its reconstruction from ruin was a total success. Try not to miss out the sunset as this Great Wall has a great panoramic view to the Yellow river. Plan accordingly to get a good spot to take some photographs. This is the kind of places you must feel proud to visit and enjoy in person as it’s part of the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Free access to locals ands tourists so don't worry about tickets. #createwithtrip #holidays #exploring #createwithtrip

Take a sleeper train to the little-travelled city of Yinchuan in Ningxia and explore China’s main wine region, where you can actually find drinkable wine! (Our goal of the trip). The main wineries are Xige and Silver Heights, which also have accommodation. Ningxia also has ancient ruins to explore (Western Xia Tombs and Helanshan) as well as the Tengger Desert where you can sleep in glamping yurts. Bring the wine you purchase at the wineries and make it a party!

Why not a visit to the desert when in China? This dreamy desert resort will definitely not disappoint you. Beautifully curated Moroccan style hotel with various pools and loads of photo opportunities. From here you can access the beginning of the Great Wall of China and also easily reach the desert 🏜😀 #summervacation#urbanexplorer

In the distant Gansu, the most impressive impression is the slightly deserted Gobi Desert in the northwest. Although, I can't say exactly what the Gobi Desert and the Gobi Desert really look like. Just came to Gansu to start from Lanzhou, and showed me a colorful Gansu, because Gansu's geographical span is large, it is actually richer than I expected. This trip will not go too far into the conventional scenic spot, another kind goes deep into Gansu, but today there is still a chance to have a quick contact with the Tengger Desert.

I specially planned a wine estate visit for this trip, and it was chef’s kiss. 📍Stop: Meihe Manor Winery (美贺庄园) 🚗 Getting There: Best to rent a car or self-drive. This European-style castle nestled in a sea of vineyards completely stole my heart at first glance 💒✨ Inside, it’s not just about wine—there are also modern art pieces and well-curated displays that reflect the wine estate’s artistic taste and attention to detail. From the underground wine cellar to the production area and display hall on the main floor, you’ll find racks of aging wine and award-winning bottles galore. The third-floor tasting room offers stunning views of the Helan Mountains as you sip from your glass—pure bliss. In summer, the surrounding vineyards open for tours, with lush green vines everywhere 💚 🌟 Other Must-See Spots Around Yinchuan 🎬 Zhenbeibao Western Film Studio Filming site for classics like A Chinese Odyssey and Red Sorghum.
