Navigate to the Gunzhongkou Scenic Area in the Helan Mountains of Yinchuan. Without entering the area, follow the road outside the area straight toward Suyukou National Forest Park or the Helan Mountain Rock Paintings. The entire route is beautiful! If you have time, all three attractions are worth visiting; each would take a day to fully explore. There are also many wineries nearby, each with a luxury hotel. You can enjoy the reclining Buddha at sunset, pick grapes, and taste wine. The wineries are also beautiful and can be visited for half a day or a full day.
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.

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.

I am quite satisfied with their service. When I first arrived at the visitor hall, I could taste the original beverage, and then the receptionist would remind me if I needed to go to the toilet. The whole visit took about 20 minutes, and I could go to the tea house to taste tea, and there were some snacks to eat. When I arrived at the store, there were also drinks and water to drink, and there were special people to serve me.
It is a very good science education base. The knowledge about wolfberry here is very comprehensive and detailed. The explanation service is also very good. I learned a lot about the nutrition and eating methods of wolfberry.
