Things to do in Wuqi

Wang Yuanyuan, the tour guide, was extremely professional, attentive, meticulous, and patient. This trip was incredibly beneficial, and she deserves a five-star rating. I highly recommend her to everyone. Thumbs up for her excellent service! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

The Wuqi Revolutionary Site is located at the southwestern foot of Yanwo Mountain in Wuqi County, Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China led the Shaanxi-Gansu Detachment of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army to Wuqi Town in the Shaanxi-Gansu Revolutionary Base. Here, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made a series of milestone decisions for the Chinese revolution, and the Chinese revolution opened a new situation towards great victory.

A trip to Hukou Waterfall with friends is definitely worthwhile! The Yellow River rushes down with tremendous force, its roar audible from afar. Standing on the viewing platform, experiencing the Mother River is truly magnificent. The path is relatively smooth, making it easy for older people to view, but the water mist is heavy, and the wind can easily get your clothes wet, so remember to bring a jacket. The scenery is truly breathtaking, perfect for taking photos and creating lasting memories.

When people mention Zhongwei, Ningxia, many immediately think of Shapotou. This is a rare spectacle in China, where the desert and the Yellow River embrace. On one side are rolling golden sand dunes, and on the other, the mighty Yellow River flows ceaselessly. With the distant Gobi Desert and mountains as a backdrop, the natural scenery is rich and layered, making it perfect for family outings and short trips. Entering the scenic area and standing atop a sand dune, you'll see an endless desert below, with the Yellow River meandering beneath. The stark contrast between the yellow sand and the blue water vividly brings to life the scene described by Wang Wei: "A lone plume of smoke rises straight from the desert, the setting sun sinks round in the long river." Shapotou offers a wealth of activities, balancing relaxation and excitement, with various activities that can easily fill a day. Most people, having made the trip to the desert, will ride camels, traversing the dunes and experiencing the unique, desolate atmosphere of the desert. For thrill-seekers, be sure to try the signature activities. Sandboarding is a classic activity at Shapotou. Sliding down the high sand dunes amidst billowing sand provides an exhilarating experience. Other attractions include Yellow River bungee jumping, desert ziplining, and the "Flying Desert" ride, offering thrilling challenges for the most adventurous visitors. The scenic area also features unique desert-themed architecture with avant-garde designs, perfect for taking photos. The scenic area is divided into two main sections: the desert area and the Yellow River area. It's recommended to explore the desert area first before heading to the Yellow River. At the Yellow River, you can experience riding sheepskin rafts and enjoying the grandeur of the river up close. Along the way, you'll see sculptures of galloping horses and Wang Wei, allowing you to stroll and feel the rich history of Northwest China.

Xiaoxitian Temple in Xi County, Shanxi Province, also known as Qianfo Temple, is an ancient temple built on the summit of Phoenix Mountain during the Ming Dynasty, exuding a rich historical atmosphere! The main hall is filled with magnificent and resplendent hanging sculptures, with nearly two thousand exquisite and lifelike figures, truly a masterpiece of hanging sculpture. Elders who saw it repeatedly expressed their admiration. There are stone steps leading up the mountain, which elderly people with mobility issues should climb slowly. The main hall is not very spacious, and there are long queues during holidays, so it is recommended to avoid peak times. The ancient architectural art is well worth seeing.

It's a bit far from downtown Yinchuan. There weren't many tourists when I went in the summer, so the overall visit was quite comfortable. Perhaps because it's a relatively new scenic spot, the facilities are quite good, but it's a bit sunny.

Wave Valley in Jingbian, Shaanxi, is truly an underrated scenic spot. The scenery is very unique, the facilities are complete, and the large loop is not difficult, making it accessible to most people.

A film and television base. Many films and television dramas are filmed here. Most of the paths in the park are gravel dirt roads, so it's recommended to wear thick hiking shoes, otherwise your feet will protest. Overall, it's quite nice and worth a visit.

I hadn't originally planned to visit the Stork Tower, as it's a reconstruction completed in 2002. However, I came across a travelogue about climbing it, and perhaps the focus for modern people isn't so much on whether it's an ancient building, but rather on Wang Zhihuan's famous line, "To see a thousand miles further, climb one more story." When you reach the top and gaze into the distance—the Yellow River, the Zhongtiao Mountains, the blue sky and white clouds overhead, the wind blowing from Fengling Ferry—don't we feel the same sentiment as Wang Zhihuan back then? Sometimes, even a simple visit can lead to unexpected experiences. The scenic area has set up signature boards for each province, autonomous region, municipality, and region. Surprisingly, this tourist experience made the friendship between Qin and Jin (Shaanxi and Shaanxi) more tangible. The board for Shaanxi Province has already been replaced twice, as it's become too densely packed with signatures from friends from neighboring Shaanxi. The scenic area simply put up a sign at the very front of the signature corridor that reads "Qin People Gather!" It looks like it'll be full soon too.
