Things to do in Yongning

Excellent, definitely worth seeing. Watching the performance taught me about the strong support the people of Fujian have given to Minning Town. It's a very immersive performance with a strong patriotic theme.

The building is grand and the facilities are good, but the introduction of the value of key cultural relics needs improvement. The museum should strive to leave a deeper impression on visitors.

Shuidonggou, an ancient secret hidden in the border region. With its crisscrossing loess gullies and unique, rugged landscape, it was not only a habitat for Paleolithic humans 30,000 years ago, but also a military wonder containing hidden Ming Dynasty troop caves. The entire journey is connected by boat, camel cart, and other modes of transportation, allowing you to traverse millennia in a single step. Touching ancient traces in the wilderness, witnessing the loess canyons, and feeling the weight of history, it's a wonderful destination that combines natural beauty with rich cultural heritage.

I booked free admission for Mondays, but I still needed to buy a shuttle bus ticket, which didn't apply to the number of tombs I visited. Normally, you first visit the Western Xia Imperial Tombs Museum to learn about that period of history, then walk along a rather long path to take the shuttle bus. Generally, you visit Tomb No. 3 first, then take the shuttle bus and horse-drawn carriage to Tomb No. 4, and then take the shuttle bus back to the starting point. The overall route was smooth, and the shuttle bus service was quite timely. However, the distance from the entrance to the shuttle bus station is a bit far, which might be inconvenient for disabled or elderly tourists. Overall, it was a good experience.

Sanguankou was one of the main passages for Mongolian cavalry to enter the Helan Mountain area. The Ming Dynasty built a border wall and fortress here. Now this area is the border between Ningxia and Inner Mongolia. The terrain is dangerous and only a few low-rise ruins of the Great Wall remain. From a distance, it is indeed a one-man defense.

The lake is vast, lush with aquatic plants and home to numerous waterfowl. A smaller version of Sand Lake, the lotus flowers are a highlight. However, it has a science exhibition hall and an 11th-floor observation deck with a wide view. Well worth a visit.

This stay was very pleasant. Xiao Lin at the front desk was exceptionally friendly and responsive during check-in, patiently and meticulously answering all my questions. She was also very efficient. The hotel was quiet and clean overall, and the rooms were spotless and comfortable. The location was convenient for getting around, and the overall value for money was excellent. Xiao Lin's thoughtful service greatly enhanced my trip, and I would definitely choose this hotel again if needed. I also recommend it to everyone.

Perfect for taking photos. Very close to downtown Yinchuan. The restaurant has delicious food, and you can freely tour the vineyards. The cultural exhibition hall teaches you about the winery's history; highly recommended. The environment is elegant and quiet.

The moment the accelerator was pressed, the speedboat, nicknamed the "Ferrari of the water," shot off like an arrow, slicing through the mirror-like surface. The wind whistled past our ears, and tiny waves gently grazed the hull, leaving smooth white trails. Our vision unfolded along the expansive water, the outline of Lanshan Park gradually becoming clear along the shoreline. The dark green mountains, shrouded in lush vegetation, reflected in the shimmering water, while pavilions nestled among the trees added a touch of tranquility. The entire journey was seamless; the speed of the speedboat cutting through the waves blended perfectly with the breathtaking scenery, every second filled with exhilarating joy. A sea breeze carrying a light mist brushed against our faces, and the next stop was slowly approaching along the channel. This water journey, combining speed and magnificent scenery, was a truly fulfilling experience.

We visited the Drum Tower first, and then stopped by the Jade Emperor Pavilion. The two places are only a few minutes apart, and you'll pass a park frequented by locals on the way. The Jade Emperor Pavilion was built between the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty (during the Zhengtong era), and was originally a watchtower. The pavilion itself isn't very large, and the main hall is currently closed for security reasons. A quick stroll around the pavilion won't take much time, and you can visit it after the Drum Tower.
