老马家羊杂碎店

I searched for this popular Ningxia snack, mutton offal. I decided to try it after searching for this popular shop. The shop is located on a street-side street, and there's some parking right in front, but it's limited. I recommend avoiding driving, as it's difficult to find. Parking on the street is another matter entirely. There's a counter at the entrance for ordering. The specialty is noodle lung (a traditional Xinjiang Uyghur snack made with lamb lungs stewed in flour batter, resulting in a delicate and tender texture). There are also mixed mutton offal and mixed mutton. The prices are a bit high, but even the small bowls are generous. If you don't like spicy food, just let the owner know, and they'll serve it accordingly. The shop is very clean and tidy, with an inner and outer dining area on the first floor, and seating on the second floor. The food was served quickly, and the mutton offal had a rich flavor without any mutton smell. The triangular pancakes complemented the mutton offal soup even better. Northwestern Chinese people have strong palates, so the soup base is slightly salty and savory.

Let's go! A must-try in Zhongwei, Ningxia: Tengger Desert stargazing camping + Route 66 road trip + Huaiyuan night market food – grab it now on Ctrip! As a travel blogger who follows the "Let's Go Now" travel guide, Zhongwei's "desert + highway + night market" combination perfectly captures the romance of Northwest China! This guide thoroughly details exclusive Ctrip packages, camping pitfalls to avoid, road trip routes, and must-try night market foods. Follow this guide for a safe, budget-friendly trip – act fast! 🌌 1. Tengger Desert Stargazing Camping: Book via Ctrip to avoid disappointment - Booking Tips: Search "Tengger Desert Stargazing Camping" on Ctrip. Prioritize packages that include pick-up and drop-off + dinner (save 80 RMB/person compared to booking separately). Choose "Five Lakes Crossing Camp" (1.5 hours drive from the city, less crowded and clearer starry sky; the campsite featured in variety shows is too crowded). Book 3 days in advance, as weekend rooms sell out quickly. - 3 Must-Try Things: ✅ Sunset Desert Dinner: Sit on the dunes at dusk, enjoying hand-pulled lamb and stir-fried eggs with sand onions (included in the package, no extra charge), watching the sunset paint the desert golden red—10 times more delicious than in a restaurant! ✅ Nighttime Stargazing Photography: After 10 PM, on clear days, use your phone's night mode to take photos of the starry sky and tent silhouettes. Free tripods are available for rent at the campsite. If you don't know how, ask the staff for help (they're very helpful). ✅ Early Morning Desert Trek: A 1-hour guided hike at 6 AM (free), where you can walk on untouched soft sand and listen to the wind whistling through the sand – even more therapeutic than during the daytime hustle and bustle. - Avoid these pitfalls: Don't buy "cheap camping packages" (below 200 RMB/person), as they often come with drafty tents that will keep you awake at night; bring sand-proof shoe covers (available at campsites for 15 RMB/pair, sometimes included in Ctrip packages), otherwise sand getting into your shoes will be a huge hassle. 🛣️ 2. Route 66 Self-Drive: One Route to Explore the Wilderness of Northwest China - Route Planning: From the city center → Navigate to "Zhongwei Route 66 North Starting Point" (1 hour drive), drive south for 20 kilometers to the "Yellow River Viewpoint". The entire route is paved and can be driven by a regular sedan (don't drive an SUV, it's unnecessary and wastes fuel); - 3 Must-Shoot Spots: ✅ U-shaped bend in the road: 10 kilometers from the starting point, stop in the safe area on the side of the road (don't block the lane, you'll be asked to move by the traffic police), and take a picture of "the road stretching into the distance". Wear a denim jacket and Doc Martens, stand in the middle of the road and take the picture (shoot quickly, be aware of oncoming traffic); ✅ Red road sign: There is a small hill next to the "Route 66" road sign. Stand on the hill to take the picture, avoiding crowds, with only the blue sky and the road in the background, maximizing the wildness; ✅ Yellow River Viewpoint: The viewpoint at the end of the road. Take a picture of "Yellow River + Gobi Desert + road" in the same frame. The light is soft in the evening, so you don't need a filter to get a good shot; - Ctrip Perk: When booking a camping package, you can add 30 RMB to receive a "Self-Driving Emergency Kit" (including bottled water, tow rope, and sun hat), saving half the price compared to buying it separately. 🍢 3. Huaiyuan Night Market: A local favorite for affordable food - Transportation & Time: A taxi from the city center to "Huaiyuan Tourist Night Market" costs 10 yuan (open from 18:00-23:00; don't go early, all stalls open after 20:00); - 5 Must-Try Dishes (50 yuan per person, eat your fill): ✅ Grandma's Spicy Rice Noodles: Choose "mild" (Northwest China is known for its high spiciness), cooked with bean curd sheets and wide rice noodles, 15 yuan/serving, incredibly fragrant with sesame sauce, worth the 20-minute wait; ✅ Ding Tiemin's Cold Noodles: 8 yuan/bowl, chewy and flavorful, add a side of beef tendon noodles (5 yuan), locals always order this; ✅ Roasted Eggs: 3 yuan/each (both chicken and goose eggs are available), sprinkled with cumin and chili, incredibly fragrant when eaten hot, don't buy from tourist areas, they're twice as expensive; ✅ Mugwort Noodles: 12 yuan/bowl, a Zhongwei specialty, fresh soup and smooth noodles, the most authentic is "Lao Ma's" at the end of the night market; ✅ Milk and Egg Rice Wine: 10 RMB/cup, freshly made and sold, with raisins and peanuts, warm and comforting to relieve spiciness; - Avoidance Tip: Don't buy the "overpriced trendy juice" (25 RMB/cup) at the entrance; the 10 RMB/cup freshly squeezed goji berry juice further in is more authentic. 💡 Blogger's Pick: 3 Days 2 Nights Itinerary (Included in Ctrip Package) Day 1: Arrive in Zhongwei at noon → Afternoon drive along Highway 66 → Evening visit to the night market → Stay at a hotel in the city center (booked through Ctrip near the night market, 5-minute walk); Day 2: Morning camping in the Tengger Desert → Daytime desert activities → Evening at the campsite for stargazing; Day 3: Morning desert trek → Enjoy a bowl of wormwood noodles before heading back at noon. The romance of Zhongwei isn't about trendy spots, but about the starry desert sky, the wind on the highway, and the lively atmosphere of the night market—Ctrip packages are still available, don't wait for peak season price increases, go now! #A Song Like a Song #New Era, New Youth, New Tourism #Places That Get Asked About All Over Social Media #Scenery Along the Road #Niche Discovery Society
