Things to do in Zhongwei

The Tengger Desert is one of the famous scenic spots in Zhongwei, Ningxia. It is very close to Shapotou and has beautiful and charming scenery. It is very suitable for family travel. Riding a camel in the desert feels very comfortable and is many times better than the experience of gravel roads. The thrilling desert assault car and the fun of sliding down the sand on a plastic board from the slope are also very enjoyable. Overall, the desert play experience is still good. Pay attention to sun protection and safety, stay with your children all the time, capture the beautiful and happy moments, and embrace nature.

It's not bad. It's my second time in Shapotou. This time I chose the Jinsha Lake Scenic Area at the door. It's smaller than Shapotou, but the experience projects are enough for children to play. It's not bad and worth a visit. However, if you come for the first time, you can go to experience the Shapotou 5A Scenic Area, where there are more things to play and sheepskin rafts.

"Yellow River Homestay" is separated from Shapotou Scenic Area by only the Yellow River. It has restored the century-old ancient village "Dawan Village". Guided by the restoration of the land veins and cultural veins of the South Bank Peninsula, relying on the landscape resources of the Yellow River Bay, it has created a cultural tourism complex that combines local culture and terrain, and created the first homestay cluster in the country by the Yellow River - "Yellow River Homestay". 　　Yellow River Homestay is guided by the restoration of the land veins and cultural veins of the South Bank Peninsula, relying on the landscape resources of the Yellow River Bay, creating a cultural tourism complex that combines local culture and terrain. It integrates homestay clusters with cultural characteristics such as frontier ancient cities, northwest villages, and desert Yellow River, as well as complex functions such as leisure experience. It is also the first homestay cluster in the true sense in China.

Zhongwei Highway 66, located in Shapotou District, Zhongwei City, Ningxia, is on the road from the city to the ancient villages of Nanchangtan or Beichangtan. Because this rural road passes through undulating valleys and runs along the Yellow River, in some places the straight road extends to the distance and you can't see the end at a glance. It is known as Zhongwei's Highway 66! The endless road is full of wildness and excitement. I think of the scene of highway racing in Fast and Furious. Feeling free and feeling powerful, different from the abstract mood in the city, it is very refreshing!

Zhongwei Gaomiao Bao'an Temple is an ancient architectural complex combining the three religions (Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism) located in Zhongwei City, Ningxia, and is a national key cultural relics protection unit. Construction Time: Initially built during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty (1403-1424), it was initially called "New Temple" and has been rebuilt several times due to earthquakes and fires. Protection Level: Designated as a seventh batch of national key cultural relics protection units by the State Council in 2013, and rated as a national AAA-level tourist attraction in 2006.

This area is really busy especially in the evenings and at nights. The Drum Tower is beautiful and there are several things here to do and many clothes to buy. This is my 2nd time here. I recommend it for those who want to experience life as locals

Go to the most primitive countryside to relax your mind Relying on the unique and scarce natural resources of the Yellow River Grand Canyon Clubhouse guest rooms, bonfire square, drive-in cinema, river-viewing courtyard Special dining, self-service barbecue, cultural exploration, Yellow River rafting Wild camping, expansion entertainment, farming experience, rock climbing adventure

Thank you very much to the service staff of Shapotou Tourist Area. My ID card was lost in the scenic area, and the service staff helped to find it in time. Thumbs up for the service staff of the scenic area👍👍👍

This is a relatively off-the-beaten-path attraction, but it's definitely worth a visit. Located at the intersection of desert and grassland, the "Heavenly Horse Pastoral Song" show, though small in scale, allowed me to experience the carefree life of a nomadic people on horseback. At that moment, I felt a sense that the vast desert cannot nurture a narrow-minded soul. I highly recommend the off-road vehicle experience. The 20-minute extreme off-road adventure in the desert takes you to a green oasis deep within the desert. Sitting down with a relaxing cup of coffee is an experience you can't have in the city.

🌄 ‌Zhongwei Museum: Echoes of History on the Bank of the Yellow River‌ Zhongwei Museum, a museum with five museums and one center. It is only two or three kilometers away from the railway station, and is adjacent to art galleries and parks. The three-story exhibition hall is based on the "Civilization Process", connecting the thousand-year epic of Zhongwei. The Paleolithic exhibition area on the first floor displays stone axes and bone needles from the Yiwanquan site, witnessing the fishing and hunting wisdom of the first ancestors on the bank of the Yellow River; the second floor focuses on the Western Xia Dynasty. The top exhibition area uses a light and shadow sand table to outline the transformation of Zhongwei: from a frontier garrison amidst the camel bells on the Silk Road to an ecological new city in the "Selenium Valley of China". The glass cabinet displays wolfberry drying farm tools and photovoltaic panel models, interpreting the industrial revolution of the "Desert Water City"‌
