Our tour guide, Xiao Zhao, was very skilled. The desert crossing was thrilling and exciting, something I haven't experienced in a while. The aerial video was also excellent and highly recommended.
We recommend renting a car for a group of three with a large weight, as it will provide excellent comfort. Weather is also crucial; sunny weather will produce much better photos.
This Northwest-style film and television studio boasts a rich local character, having been used as a filming location for hundreds of films. It's a great place for those who enjoy film sets and take photos. It's also not far from the Helan Mountain Rock Paintings Scenic Area, making it a great place to visit as well.

Visit date: September 18th. Arrived at the scenic area at 10:00 AM and descended to the visitor center at 2:00 PM.
Route: First, take the sightseeing bus from the entrance to Songtao Mountain Villa, then buy tickets and take the cable car up to Qingsongling. From Qingsongling, walk to the canyon cable bridge.
We arrived just in time for the 12:00 PM canyon tightrope acrobatics show. After the show, we returned to Qingsongling and began our descent, following the sign for "Cherry Valley."
Note: The descent was sparsely populated due to the steep incline and gravel sections. Therefore, I saw very few people descending. Since I was traveling with my parents, who are in their 60s, I took extra care, so the descent took a bit longer. However, with fewer people, the canyon was quite quiet.
Tickets for the scenic area:
1) Entrance fee: Free for seniors over 60, so my parents were free.
2) Sightseeing bus: 20 RMB per person. Note: This ticket, like the entrance fee, must be purchased at the visitor center, not inside the scenic area.
3) Cable car and canyon cable bridge tickets can be purchased inside the scenic area.
Because I was traveling with an elderly person, I bought a package ticket for myself, which included an entrance ticket, a round-trip sightseeing bus, and a canyon cable bridge. The price was 110 yuan, which was quite reasonable. I bought the tickets needed by the elderly separately.
The scenery of the northwest is still refreshing for southerners. It is a mountain range connected to the mountain. There are stone mountains that are balder than limestone mountains, but on the other side are pine and cypress trees. There are also unique flora and fauna and fault landforms. Unfortunately, the Golden Summit and Rabbit Hole are not open to the public, so the playability is relatively low.

The vastness of Shahu Lake, its emerald waves shimmering like a dreamlike mist. Swaying reeds resemble the graceful dance of green fairies. Sand and water intertwine, creating a wondrous natural landscape. Stepping into this landscape, your heart follows the scenery, forgetting the hustle and bustle of life, only tranquility and poetry surround you, inviting you to enjoy this idyllic paradise together.
The Shahu Lake is quite interesting and suitable for taking children to play. There are cute pets and swans to feed, and adults can play various amusement projects. The environment inside is also good. But the route is very long. You have to go around in a big circle. If you buy a ticket and don't want to play in the middle, you still have to walk around in a circle before you can go back. The service attitude inside is also average. It's a pity not to come here, but it's a bit so-so after coming here.

It is more cost-effective to buy Line A for this scenic spot. Line B is to take a boat tour of the entire canyon and then go to Dayu Cultural Park, a newly built artificial scenic spot with no cultural heritage, but the 108 towers are quite shocking. You can walk around it and feel the changes of history.
The Qingtongxia Scenic Area is worth visiting. The environment is clean and tidy, and the service is good. However, the tourist resources are relatively few, and more cultural content can be considered. During this trip, Master Xiaotian provided thoughtful service, drove steadily, and waited patiently. It is worth recommending 👍

I went to Kangbashi Museum some time ago, and it was really amazing! As soon as I walked to the front of the museum, I was attracted by the unique architectural shape, which looked like a rock that had been polished by time and had a special sense of history. After entering, the various exhibits were dazzling. There were ancient bronzes, exquisite ceramics, and precious calligraphy and paintings. Listening to the story behind these exhibits introduced by the guide, it was as if I traveled through time and space, and personally experienced the long history and splendid culture of Ordos. I felt very rewarding. I sincerely recommend everyone to go and have a look!
The exhibition design is very attentive, divided according to the natural development context, the visiting route is clear, the transition is natural, and it is not tiring to visit. The lighting and sound effects are also amazing. In the simulated tropical rainforest exhibition area, the lighting is combined with the sound of birds and wind, as if you are in the depths of the rainforest.

This is a truly worthwhile place to visit. There are various NPCs within the campus, interactive games on the Silk Road side, and a performance every half hour or so. It's incredibly entertaining. A 5-6 hour stay is recommended. Be sure to try the costume change experience within the park.
The immersive experience is good, with a variety of live performances. The Helan Festival and Lingzhou League performances are awesome, the NPC interactive games are interesting, and the atmosphere of the wild disco at around 10 pm is great.

The museum is quite large and has many cultural relics. It is very comfortable to visit during the off-season and you can learn a lot. The administrator at the entrance is very good. He did not refuse tourists from entering even if the wrong tickets were booked. He is very humane.
If you want to understand a city, you should start with its museum. Since the bus was late, the guide waited patiently for us and explained the history of Ningxia and various cultural relics to us. The explanation level was average, not interesting enough. Come on!

It's definitely worth it! It's an unforgettable experience! The vast desert is desolate and magnificent. You can have fun in it, drive an off-road vehicle and surf on the sand dunes. The bumps bring excitement, screams and laughter all the way!
The Tengger Desert is China's fourth largest desert (about 43,000 square kilometers). It means "sky" in Mongolian. Its vast sea of sand and numerous lakes form a unique landscape. The golden sand dunes are like solidified waves, and the crescent-shaped and pyramid-shaped sand dunes are interlaced. The Ulan Lake "Heart of the Earth" and Swan Lake and other water towns in the desert add a magical touch12. Here you can ride a camel to experience the ancient charm of the Silk Road, and you can also experience the passion of desert off-roading. The starry sky and the Milky Way at night are particularly stunning45. Despite the dry climate, it breeds drought-resistant plants such as Haloxylon ammodendron and Ammopiptanthus sandii, as well as wild animals such as Goitered Gazelle, showing tenacious ecological vitality.

The ticket I bought online at Ctrip was the same as the one I bought on site, 85 yuan for a round trip. When I went to Haisha Peninsula, the boarding terminal was a bit chaotic. Tourists rushed to the boarding gate wherever the boat arrived, so that the tourists in the front of the line could not get on the boat, while the tourists in the back of the line got on the boat early. I hope the scenic area pier can manage it to prevent the elderly and children from being squeezed and in danger.
It is rare to find such a scenic spot in China that includes deserts, grasslands, and lakes. Hongjiannao is located in Yulin, northern Shaanxi. The parking lot is a bit small and there is no one to direct the flow of cars. At noon, the parking lot was full of cars. Later, the cars did not know and were all circling around in it. Hongjiannao has beautiful scenery and many water activities. It is worth a visit.
