This time I went to Shapotou to play, the weather really helped a lot, the sun did not, it did not rain, otherwise I really can't play in the sun. This time I took the children. The children especially liked it, especially riding camels and surfing cars. The key sandboarding is the best fun and can be controlled manually. It is still very exciting to leap over the Yellow River. The weight also needs to be full of 70 pounds to sit, otherwise it will get stuck, so the children did not experience it, but it was really fun. The sand in Shapotou is also very good, very fine, it is really worth playing without the sun and rain. I will take pictures when I play the project. I bought an electronic, 18 yuan, and I can leave a memorial. Wenchuang ice cream is also 18 yuan.

Unfortunately, the children who leap over the Yellow River are not enough to weigh more than 70 pounds. It is a pity. The sand at Shapotou is also very good, very fine, it is really worth playing without the sun and rain.

Zhenbeibao Film and Television City gives 4.8 a very appropriate score! The loess-built city walls and broken city buildings have their own cool and heavy texture. The classic scenes such as "Dahua West Tour" and "Red Gaochun" are retained as they are. Standing in the tower where the supreme treasure confesses, they instantly cross into the plot. There is no over-commercialization here, the adobe houses and old objects have a real sense of age. The narrator is funny and professional, and has revealed a lot of shooting behind the scenes. The only minor shortcoming is that some areas are slightly messy, but the flaws are not concealed, whether it is fans or people who like humanistic photography, can find resonance here.
The film and television base, the big west tour really looks a lot of times and is not tired. I mainly want to punch in the point on the city wall, and I have warmed up the big west tour again. The inside is very large, very sun, very hot, if the weather is cool, you can slowly turn for a day.

At 5 pm, I arrived at the scenic spot. It was still super sun. The scenic spot was very empty. The tomb could not be entered. I could only look at the periphery. There was no explanation. In fact, I could make an external explanation before the stone card introduced. The carriage didn't feel needed. The horse looked very tired. It was between the No. 3 and No. 4 Ling.
During the past few days in Yinchuan, I passed by the Western Xia Mausoleum once during the Five Lakes Crossing and the Helan Mountain Rock Paintings once. So I made an appointment for a tour guide last night and was scheduled to enter the park at 9:30 this morning. I have to see it no matter how high or low it is, and I can't pass it again.
1️⃣ The ticket cost 138 yuan, and the route is as follows: Museum (minibus) → Mausoleum No. 3 (electric car) → Shuang Mausoleum (carriage) → Mausoleum No. 4. Then the ticket includes a 3D or 4D movie and a copy of the rubbing. If you have children, it is recommended to watch a movie + rubbing. The tour guide said that the 3D movie has a storyline, and the 4D one is an animation.
2️⃣ After entering the park and entering the museum, the teacher talked about the entire history of Western Xia. It was established by Li Yuanhao, the leader of the Dangxiang tribe. The territory covered Ningxia, Gansu, Qinghai and other places today, and coexisted with Song, Liao and Jin. In 1227, it was destroyed by Mongolia and the royal tomb was destroyed. It has been about 190 years. The key is that it has not been recorded in history, but it is okay.
3️⃣ Figure 3 is the entire rubbing process, from material selection to the final binding, these steps are presented one by one, which is quite interesting.
4️⃣ Figure 4 is the remains of the Xixia porcelain kiln, which has 4 porcelain kilns and many porcelain specimens unearthed.
5️⃣ Figure 5 is relatively simple, related to Buddhism, and two caves are restored. You can take pictures. The teacher also talked about the lower left corner. He also said that if anyone can hear it, it means that he is a predestined person.
6️⃣ The top of picture 6 is Xixia's own characters. I feel like I'm deciphering the Sherlock Holmes code.
7️⃣ I just took a few pictures of pictures 7-9.
8️⃣ Picture 10, those who bring their kids can come and experience it. The tickets bring 3 pieces of paper and a plastic cover, and then you can find various graphics or characters to rub. On the right is my rubbing of Fu, Lu and Shou, which are Xixia characters + Chinese characters. You can also compare them. And did you notice that there is a small stamp on the lower right corner of the word Fu, which is different from other papers, because that is the paper I paid 5 yuan for.
Today, let's stop here. I'll go to Huaiyuan Night Market tonight and have a look tomorrow.

You can walk a long way along the Grand Canyon. It is fun to take a closer look at the rock painting. The Sun God is a bit steep but the young people don’t have to climb it. The waterfall there is a surprise, but the sightseeing car is a bit tasteless.
The price is very high, it is a city worth visiting. . . . Good, good, good, the scenery is very good, the weather is also very good, it is worth seeing. The scenic spot is very special and the scenery is different. . . .

The overall evaluation is relatively general, the park is big, the package purchased can only be used in one area, the amusement project is like a large farmhouse. The horse riding experience is not good at your own expense. 6 or 7 people follow a coach and go up and down on the dirt road. I feel that the coach and the horse are in a hurry to finish running and get off work.
It is very convenient to drive from the city, and there is no traffic jam. There are not many people in the mid-week scenic spot. There are many projects inside. It is suitable for adults and children. The performance is very exciting. The photos are very good.

The first stop of the Ningxia trip, the park is very large, I bought a package ticket, experienced a carriage, camel car, tractor, sightseeing car, highly recommended Beijiang Tiange, very shocking, Mongolian knight is too cool!
Shuidonggou is very close to the airport. From the airport, the driver can buy cheaper tickets. The Shuidonggou scenic spot is very large, there are various transportations to take, it is a satisfaction, the equestrian performance inside is very good.

I came here on the last day of my trip. I was quite tight on time because of the last minute change in plans that day, but I still had an immersive experience of the Helan Mountains. I plan to hike a bit when I have time in the future. After being used to the mountains and rivers of Jiangnan, I found the Helan Mountains very spectacular. I also met mountain goats on the way, which made me happy.
It's a super fun scenic spot. There are precious fragments of various animals, various man-made attractions, and what else can be done. The hike along the way is very comfortable. The weather is cool. There is a breeze blowing on the rocks in the whole valley, which makes people feel happy and comfortable. There are all kinds of strange terrains on the roadside, especially when the road surface is 40 degrees, you can see all kinds of scorching sun running, which makes people linger.

The weather is good and the Helan Mountains are very beautiful! The Swan Island wetland is also very beautiful and very comfortable. The weather in June is not hot, and it is particularly relaxing to walk. The only bad thing is that the desert area must pass and cannot be skipped. Because we have already played desert projects in Shapotou, we don't want to go to the desert area anymore, but the design of the scenic spot must be passed (maybe because the desert project has to be paid separately and the cost is not low), and we have to go a long way to get to the pier to take the boat off the island. This is very bad. Discount the entire scenic spot.
Half of the yellow sand is written in a vast, and the lake is gentle. Shahu has both the magnificentness of "the desert is lonely and smokey" and the gentleness of "the Jiangnan Water Town". Tickets are not expensive, but the price of transportation (boats and cars) is high.

Oops, the Yellow River Grand Canyon in Qingtongxia is so interesting! The Yellow River is flowing, and it is particularly spectacular. When I was sitting on the sheepskin rafting, I was nervous and mentioned my throat, but it was particularly exciting. The mountains on both sides looked like in the painting, old and old. When the sun is about to go down, the whole river is shining, so beautiful! This place is really more and more like it, I will definitely come next time!
It is worth a visit to the attractions, the B package is chosen, the whole itinerary is very good, you don't have to worry too much, just follow it. The scenery of the Yellow River is very beautiful, and the Ningxia Water Museum and Tallinn Museum have also learned a lot. In short, a very good experience.

There is a large performance site inside Manpu. As soon as we entered, we watched a dance show. All the actors were there and they were quite passionate. After the show, we took photos with the NPCs. We took photos with almost everyone. Then we went inside and had various interactions to earn money, such as gambling, throwing darts, playing games, etc. My children liked it very much. They almost participated in all of them and refused to leave.
Manpu·See the real experience of Helan Performing Arts Town ｜ Is the immersive journey worth rushing? 🌟 The overall experience summary The performing arts town that was swiped into the circle of friends finally punched in! Stayed here all day, there were amazing high-light moments, and also stepped on a few small thunders. The sisters collected this real evaluation ～ ✨ must praise the flash point 1. The immersive performance ceiling 20+ live performances are seamless! "Xiaguxing" in the darts and the wall of the martial arts fighting superbly, "Lingzhou Huimeng" ancient costume group drama directly dragged me into the Shengtang! The most amazing thing is that the NPC will interact randomly. It was really a surprise when the "Ancient Princess" took a photo. The evening's main show "Helan Mountain Festival" was a special effect. Sitting in the audience felt like watching a movie blockbuster! 2. The seven theme blocks with a 100% film rate have their own characteristics! Under the ancient city wall, the atmosphere is large, and the lantern-filled Diannong Ancient Street is super suitable for wearing Hanfu to shoot the night scene. I specially wore a cheongsam to the light and shadow promenade of the wine museum, and I asked the address in the circle of friends! 3. One-stop holiday super worry-free hot spring hotel package is superb, tired to play directly to relax; non-legacy block can experience hand-made He Lanxuan, give girlfriends with gifts super suitable; Sisters with children can store the children in the children's play center, and go to the wine tasting hall to take a micro-check of the ～ ⚠️ Avoid the pit guide 1. Remember the performance time! Some popular venues need to occupy seats in advance. It is recommended to take the performance schedule to plan the route first, otherwise it is easy to miss the program you want to see. 2. Weekend people in the crowd! If you want to take pictures comfortably, try to choose a working day or a staggered peak in the morning, and the experience of the tour group gathering after 3 pm will be discounted. 3. The park is large in size and wear comfortable shoes! Although there is a shuttle bus, it is inevitable to walk 20,000 steps to the food red and black list. Must eat recommendation - Huaiyuan Sightseeing Night Market Snacks: Huaiyuan Night Market, which is re-engraved in Yinchuan's super-fire, is in the park! Rolled cold skin sour and hot appetizer, spicy strips wrapped in roasted bran skin to lame feet, rose bran milk flavor is strong, dessert control closed eyes! - Helan Mountain Wild Mushroom Noodle: Fresh eyebrows soup base! The mushrooms are tender and chewy, the noodles are full of soup and super flavorful, and the portion is super large for two people to share food ～- Xixia roasted whole lamb: a must for dinner! The outer skin is roasted golden and crispy, and the secret cumin is fragrant to the bones. There is also a Mongolian girl singing and dancing on the spot to help the fun, and the sense of ritual is full! Try carefully - some snack stalls are too expensive, it is recommended to compare a few more before starting; Individual net red punching shops take pictures, but the taste is general, avoid following the wind and stepping on the thunder ～ 💌 intimate Tips for girls ✔️ Wearing Hanfu/cheongsam to make more films. There are rental shops in the park but the holiday style may not be complete. It is recommended to bring your own ✔️ with makeup! The night view lighting is super beautiful, but sweating and dissemblance will affect the value of the petal bath ball in the hot spring area. When you are in the bath, remember to find the staff to collect it. The atmosphere is directly full! In general, if you want to experience the romance of crossing the millennium, or if your girlfriends group to shoot blockbusters in ancient style, it is definitely worth rushing! It is recommended to enter the park at 3 pm, go shopping during the day, take pictures, watch the show at night, unlock
