Ningxia One-Day Travel Guide.

When mentioning Ningxia, people often think of deserts. Let me share with you how to travel in Ningxia—a practical travel guide. Generally, we depart from Yinchuan at around 7:30~08:00 in the morning. Must-see scenic spots along the way: 1. A distant view of the Western Xia Mausoleums (experience the grandeur of the Western Xia Kingdom) 2. Drive over the Helan Mountains (at this moment, you might recall Yue Fei's poem: 'Drive the long chariot to break through the Helan Mountains') 3. Commemorate the Ningxia-Mongolia border at the Three Passes of the Ming Great Wall (built during the Ming Dynasty to resist foreign invaders in the Helan Mountains) 4. Drive through the Alxa Holy Land (here, you will see herds of cattle, sheep, and camels, giving you a true experience of the wilderness) Next, we arrive at the Tengger Desert, an endless expanse of golden sand. Here, you can experience desert surfing, camel riding, sand sliding, and desert go-karting to your heart's content! Then we come to Shapotou, the filming location of 'Where Are We Going, Dad?'. It combines the vast desert and the Yellow River in one place. Here, you can experience Ningxia's ancient water transportation, drifting on a sheepskin raft. For the brave, there are activities like Yellow River bungee jumping and Yellow River zip-lining. If you have more time, you can check out the Chinese version of Route 66, a long road stretching endlessly. Cross the Heishan Gorge and follow the Yellow River to the ancient village of Beichangtan. Every snapshot here can be a stunning photo, ready to blow up your social media at any moment!
