Yinchuan Yellow River section, the shadow of camels in the desert meets the most beautiful sunset

If you ask which scenic spot in Xingqing has the highest cost-performance ratio, I personally think it should be 'Huangsha Ancient Ferry'. This is the place where Kangxi crossed the Yellow River during his western expedition against the Dzungars, and it was also the ferry where Wang Zhaojun left for the frontier in ancient times. The cultural and historical atmosphere is strong. The tower is right by the Yellow River wetland. From the top of the sand dunes, you can overlook the Yellow River and gaze at Helan Mountain, making it the best place to watch the Yellow River sunset. You can take a bamboo raft to navigate the wetlands and watch birds, or you can take a sheepskin raft to experience traditional Yellow River drifting. Alternatively, you can take a speedboat to feel the thrill and excitement. What is rare is this small piece of desert. The banks of the Yellow River used to be all desert, but now the greening has been managed very well, and this remaining small piece of desert has become a rarity. Here you can experience riding camels in the desert, driving off-road vehicles through the sand, or driving ATVs across the sand. There are also more stable activities like sand sliding and zip-lining. In Yinchuan, you don't have to go hundreds of kilometers away to the desert to enjoy all the activities you want. Isn't it very cost-effective? In fact, Huangsha Ancient Ferry also has a museum for folk customs protection, preserving the production and lifestyle of rural areas along the Yellow River in a quaint farmhouse courtyard. It allows children to remember the hardships of the past and experience a different kind of old life. The entire scenic area is paved with millstones of various shapes collected from all over the country. Walking on them feels like reminiscing about the history of thousands of years of agricultural civilization. What impressed me the most is that the prices in the scenic area are not expensive, almost the same as in Yinchuan city. This is also rare in scenic areas. The entrance ticket to the scenic area is 30 yuan, but because it is very large, the extra cost for the electric shuttle cannot be saved, otherwise, you won't be able to walk through it all. Other entertainment projects depend on your personal preference.
