Helan Mountain is a north-south mountain range located in the boundary of Ningxia and Inner Mongolia which is an important geographical boundary in northwestern China. It stretches 220 km (137 mi) from north to south. We took the cable car up and down. Not expensive and you get stunning views on the way. These mountains are unique and you can spend the whole day looking at the deers and watching the mountain tops. #helanmountain #yinchuan #ningxia

Location: Yinchuan city, Ningxia province. Chinese name: 阅海湾水上公园 English name: Yinchuan Water Park This park has a beautifully large lake that is stunning with the reflections of the buildings and flowers. I went several times at sunset to see the wonderful colours in the early summer evenings. Getting there: This lake is located in the center of Yinchuan city. Yinchuan is easily accessible via fast train and plane. #yinchuan #ningxia

Ningxia museum is a great place to check out to get a sense of the history of the area. There are tons of statues and pottery which have unique charm and history. I especially liked the cow/bull head. Pretty cool You can spend an hour or two here and soak it all in before continuing you're exploration of the area. Definitely a place to visit #yearofrabbit #newyearadventure #tripblazers #china #museum

It happened to be Christmas when I went to Yinchuan. I had originally signed up for a tour to Vietnam, but the group was not available, so I had to go to Yinchuan, Ningxia, which is located on the banks of the Yellow River. It turns out that in addition to its rich natural scenery, Yinchuan also offers visitors the opportunity to visit the Western Xia Historical Park, participate in exciting games, and experience a city full of Hui customs. You can ride a camel in the vast yellow sand of the Tengger Desert. You can go sandboarding on the high sand slopes. You can also take an exciting surfing car ride. You can also cross the Yellow River with a steel rope in the desert (only in summer) It's like an amusement park built in the desert. Then you can go to the Helan Mountain Rock Painting Scenic Area to see the glaciers. You can visit the civilization left by the ancients on the walls and the magnificence of the glaciers. After visiting the sights, it’s time to learn some history. Visit the Western Xia Folk Culture Garden and learn about the glorious deeds of Li Yuanmin, the founding emperor of Western Xia. Finally, I had to go to Zhenbeibao Western Film City to make a pilgrimage to the most famous scene of Journey to the West, where I saw Supreme Treasure and Fairy Zixia standing on the top of the city, which brought endless intriguing imagination. An unpopular tourist attraction brings endless memories. #Yinchuan #Helan Mountain #

We came to Yinchuan to go to the desert. Having an extra day to spend in the city I found this winery: it looked gorgeous and so European that we couldn't miss it. We took a taxi from our hotel (less than 20yuan), ticket cost 80yuan. We were almost alone! (mid August) First you visit the museum part (all written information is in Chinese and English) and then go to the degustation part (2 wine glasses and a small bottle of cognac were included) After visiting the manor house we went to the vinery, too. It was 💯 % worth visiting. Otherwise I'd never know Ningxia was such a famous wine region. 🥂 地址：银川市西夏区经济技术开发区六盘山路359号 #银川旅行张裕摩塞尔十五世酒庄 #yinchuan

Normally I travel on my own but sometimes it's much better to have a group tour. My friend and I bought a Chinese tour starting from Yinchuan and never regreted (our Chinese is rather basic but sometimes there are English speaking travel mates in such groups). It was a walking tour, about 52km totally (and this was the only regret 😂) , so on the 2d day we rented camels and rode 12km on camels (I'm a rider, it was OK for me, but you'd better check if it's ok for you with a small ride in advance 🤭) During the trip we saw a few lakes (I'll make another review of the red Swan lake) and all colors of the desert as the weather changed throughout the trip from sunny to rainy. The accommodation in Mongolian tents was OK, in the tents - quite basic, but definitely one to remember 😊. Overall it was a very bright experience (which due to covid restrictions is difficult to have on your own now) In Yinchuan we lived in Yihe hotel and some Labor hotel which accept foreigners.

Chinese wine is underrated! Ningxia province hosts some of the best wines in the country. You can have the opportunity to visit various wineries around this wine-filled province. ✨Make sure you make an appointment with the winery that you end up choosing. ✨You can rent a car or grab a Didi to the destination and talk with the driver to arrange the way back to the city as well. ✨You don’t have to go all the way to Europe for a unique wine tasting experience.

You can pretend to be in Byzantine Castle in Ningxia! Ningxia's most worthwhile winery list is definitely the Changyu Mosel XV winery. 2018 China Northwest Tourism Marketing Conference issued a heavyweight: "Magic Northwest 100 Scenes" list, 17 scenic spots in Ningxia, one of them is Zhang Yuning Xia Mosel 15th Winery. () Featured recommendation: () Ningxia Changyu Moss 15th Winery, designed by Lanyu Culture. The entire winery has invested nearly 790 million yuan. In the end, it was built with magnificent momentum, like the medieval Byzantine castle. (sweet) can be pretending to be abroad here, no wonder it has become the most popular tourist destination in all Ningxia wineries. I met the newcomer who took a wedding dress here, and I feel that it has become a wedding photo carding spot for Ningxia people. (Cool) There is also a wine museum; the entertaining wine museum uses interactive games such as cutting-edge technology augmented reality to unveil the mysterious veil of wine in the play. (Love) The constant temperature and humidity underground cellar is the palace of sleeping wine, the winding labyrinth, let you get close to the wine beauty. It is said that the wine produced here is only exported abroad. (Kiss) Not only is the castle popular among tourists, but the winery has always been striving for excellence in the winemaking process. The excellent quality of the wine not only impresses every wine lover, but also attracts the attention of the world's tourists.

The main shooting scenes of domestic classic film and television dramas are two: Nanhengdian North Town Fort This time card: Ningxia's Zhenbei Fort Western Film City Here is a famous film and television work: "Large words Journey to the West, "Red Sorghum" and other hundreds of works, the shooting area there are full memories of wood

If you say that Ningxia Yinchuan tourism has to go to an attraction, it must be the "West Xia Ling". "Xi Xia Ling" is located in the west of Yinchuan City, Helan Mountain, is the tomb of the ancient "Xi Xia Kingdom" emperors. Many people used to call it the "Western Xia Imperial Tomb", which is actually inaccurate. The correct statement should be "Xi Xia Ling". Because in the ancient Chinese tradition, the status of "king" was lower than that of "the emperor", and the "Western Xia Imperial Tomb" was suspected of being "degraded." "Xi Xia Ling" is now a national 4A-level tourist scenic spot, a national key cultural relics protection unit, a national key scenic spot, and was listed in the China World Cultural Heritage Pre-list in 2012, and many experts believe that the "West Xia Ling" is likely It will be China's next world heritage, what do you think?

Everyone should have been on the subway train, but do you know that there is a special "cloud track" in Yinchuan, Ningxia? "Cloud Track" Line 1 is located in Yinchuan Flower Expo Park. It is an overhead loop for rail transit. It is an air tour loop of Huaboyuan. The clearance is 6-8 meters, the total length of the line is 5.67 kilometers, and the train speed is 15 kilometers/hour. The interval runs for 30 minutes. The train departure station is built on the south side of Huabo Park in the south gate of the exhibition island. In order to better let passengers overlook the Huabo Garden from the air, the Cloud Track line along the line is in the islands. There are 8 interchange stations for major venues and attractions. Yinchuan Huaboyuan Cloud Track construction project was built by BYD Company. It took only 4 months from construction to operation, and it also created the most Yinchuan rail transit.

If you want to find a sentence to describe the Western Xia Imperial Tomb, then this sentence is a good fit.

The tomb is a little farther away, the sun in the north is extremely strong, the sky is beautiful, the blue sky and white clouds are distinct, and you will feel that everything in the world is quiet and beautiful, wearing stilettos, carrying drones, stepping on gravel when approaching the tomb. On the road, I walked very slowly, and the wind blew my hair and wrapped it on my body. Ok! I am intoxicated. Here, the whole person is empty, and the troubles of the earth are instantly dissipated in the wind. In many places, there will be magic powers that can bring us many different feelings, which will shock our hearts! In fact, at that moment, if there is no one, I would like to dance there! ! ! We are very puzzled as to why these mausoleums can be kept in the wind and sand without any cover and maintenance for so long. (After returning the information, I know that because the ground is covered with gravel and coarse sand, the foundation has large bearing capacity, poor water retention, natural drainage. The conditions are good, so that the Xixia Mausoleum successfully passed through many major earthquakes in the history of the Northwest, plus less precipitation, which is conducive to the overall protection of the cemetery.) Looking at the products of this ancient architectural technique, suddenly said that I want to go to Egypt. Look at the pyramid. The Western Xia Imperial Tomb is also known as the pyramid of China! I don't know how the Egyptian pyramid will bring people's feelings, and I am also looking forward to it! No matter how many roads I have traveled and how many scenery I have seen, I look forward to walking with you to see the beauty of this world... In 1920, after 190 years, the Xixia Dynasty, which had been on the side of the Chinese earthquake in Chinese history, was ruined. The family has also disappeared since then. Only the tall earthen mausoleum under the Helan Mountain, the Xixia Mausoleum, remains silent.
