Things to do in Guyuan

A great place for hiking, with tons of negative ions! Currently, three areas are open to the public, with Xiaonanchuan as the core attraction. The botanical garden is still under construction and not recommended for now. Liangdianxia is Genghis Khan's summer retreat and doesn't require a long visit. PS: A thorough visit to Xiaonanchuan takes about an hour. It's recommended to enter by water. After reaching the end of the path, climb a short flight of stairs and then hike a little further. You can take a shuttle bus back to the bus stop (ticket price is 10 yuan). The walk down to the bus stop without the shuttle bus is 3km. It's best to visit in the morning.

The Xumishan Grottoes, located on the northern Silk Road route from Guyuan, were first carved during the Northern Wei Dynasty, flourished during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and continued to be built during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Along the Danxia cliff face, they are divided into areas such as the Great Buddha Hall, the Descendant Palace, Yuanguang Temple, Xiangguo Temple, and Peach Blossom Cave. This season, there are relatively few people, the sun is shining, and the mountain scenery is beautiful. However, the attractions are scattered, and climbing can be tiring. Supporting services, such as catering, could be improved.

Huoshizhai in Xiji County is a hidden gem in Northwest China, often overlooked by many! The red cliffs and vast forests create a magnificent and beautiful landscape. The scenic area offers attentive service, a wide variety of activities, and plenty of fun, making for a fantastic overall experience. It's not crowded, quiet, and comfortable – highly recommended!

The sky is high and the clouds are light, I can see the geese flying south. If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero, I have traveled 20,000 kilometers. On the top of Liupan Mountain, the red flag is fluttering in the west wind. Today, I have the long rope in my hand, when will I tie up the blue dragon? --Mao Zedong's "Qingpingle·Liupan Mountain" Travel with poetry, follow the red footprints, walk the Long March again, and check in the last mountain that the Red Army crossed during the Long March, "Mountain of Victory" Liupan Mountain

The canyon where the Lotus Garden Scenic Area is located is also known as "Fragrant Water Canyon," "Wild Lotus Valley," or "Lotus Garden." Located west of Jingyuan County, the canyon is lush with vegetation, including pines, cypresses, red willows, and birches. The wild lotus, botanically known as *Ligustrum lucidum*, is commonly called wild lotus because its leaves resemble lotus leaves. The abundant wild lotus and flowing streams surrounding Fragrant Water Mountain give it a majestic and beautiful appearance. The grassy gully, about 4 kilometers long, is expansive and spectacular, with lush wild lotus growth and towering, opposing peaks.

The Liupanshan Red Army Long March Memorial Hall is located on Liupan Mountain in Longde County, Guyuan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. It was completed on September 18, 2005 and consists of five parts: the memorial hall, the monument, the memorial square, the memorial pavilion and the poetry platform. It is 2,832 meters above sea level, 50 kilometers away from Guyuan City and 14 kilometers away from Longde County. National Highway 312, Provincial Highway 101, and Yin (Chuan) Ping (Liang) Highway pass through the foot of the mountain. It is a red tourist attraction built by the Party Committee and Government of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army's Long March over Liupan Mountain. The Vienna 3 Good Hotel where I stayed at night was also very good, the room was very clean, the service was very good, it was in the new district, next to Guyuan No. 1 Middle School, it is worth recommending!

The location is easy to find, parking is convenient, and you can use the guide for free. It is very user-friendly. The staff are also very enthusiastic, speak quietly, and provide very attentive service. All areas are very clean, and there are rest areas, which is much better than some scenic spots.

The area has a rich historical atmosphere, but the food court inside is truly indescribable! The restaurant selling "jiaotuan" (a type of porridge) in the picture had terrible service; they were slow to take orders and couldn't remember what to order. I was cut in line twice, and both times I told the staff, but they ignored me. Hopefully, the scenic area can improve its management.

Part of the Liupan Mountain Scenic Area. It was my first time in southern Ningxia. It was completely different from what I imagined. I didn't expect there was such a beautiful place with green mountains and clear waters. Braving the drizzle, I walked into the quiet valley, felt the source of the Jing River and the hometown of the dragon, and felt detached and comfortable.

It is worth a visit here, there are glass plank roads and tall jungles
