    "I can only say that it looks much better than Danxia. It feels like there may not be much publicity here, but it is not lost to any attraction. It is worth coming to play. The villagers are too enthusiastic to sell fruit. The bus driver also tells us where to fly the drone is the most beautiful. The overall experience is full."

    "The environment is very good, a total of three floors, it should be said that the history of Ningxia is very comprehensive. The first floor is the most distinctive rock painting exhibition in Ningxia. After seeing it, you can feel the yearning and efforts of the ancients. The general history museum on the second floor shows the history of Ningxia. The most distinctive thing is to copy the ancient chariots, which can give everyone a very intuitive understanding of the ancient chariots. I asked for an explanation on Trip , and Guide Yang spoke very well. I can see that he is very knowledgeable and speaks very well. I went deep and shallow."

    ""See Helan" Performing Arts Center, because it is a weekend, there are crowds inside. During the performances, there are a lot of shows, and you can't see them at all (some of them are held at the same time in multiple venues, so it is impossible to see them all at night), you can only pick the key points to see, and it will pass in three and a half hours. Especially the Helan Mountain Festival, which is the main show in the entire performance center, is the only performance that needs to pay extra for tickets at night (there is also a big circus during the day to buy tickets separately, these two are only items that need to be paid separately), but it is great value."
