This is my second time here, this time with my three-year-old. Since we've never seen such a large beach before, we had a lot of fun.
However, for adults, the other activities are all paid, so the value for money isn't quite right.
Today, Ordos is increasingly green, and it's rare to find such a small patch of desert left for tourists to experience. There are plenty of recreational activities, and the service is generally good. My summer trip was long ago, but the dark clouds and lightning over the desert during the thunderstorms remain vividly in my memory.

This film studio is so-so. It mainly relies on tourists from Stephen Chow's movies; it doesn't have any unique features or shows. Right now, it's just stagnating.
Zhenbeibao Western Film City is more like a "dream space," its value far exceeding that of ordinary scenic spots. It uses the most rustic loess and ruins to carry the cinematic memories of generations. Here, you are not just a tourist, but a participant stepping into the stories of the movies. With proper expectation management, this trip will surely become an unforgettable stop on your Northwest China journey.

Ningxia's two most famous mountains are the Helan Mountains in the northwest and the Liupan Mountains in the southeast. The Helan Mountains block wind and snow, creating a vast area of wine grape cultivation on its eastern side—the largest in China—and Ningxia wines are gaining increasing fame and international acclaim. The mountains aren't difficult to climb, but they possess a distinctly Northwest character: deeper colors, steep cliffs, and tall, sparse trees, quite different from southern vegetation. Even in summer, climbing them isn't hot; a cool breeze makes it very comfortable. This pillar of the Northwest is truly remarkable.
The Helan Mountains are majestic and precipitous, stretching as far as the eye can see, like a protective barrier guarding the Northwest. Lush forests, rugged rocks, and deep ravines create a breathtaking landscape. From the summit, one can enjoy a panoramic view of the Yellow River Plain, a truly awe-inspiring sight. Beyond its unique natural scenery, the region also boasts a rich historical and cultural heritage, making it an important landmark on the Silk Road and well worth a visit.

I specifically visited this place because of the opening credits of "A Chinese Odyssey." Seeing Zixia boating among the reeds, accompanied by a melodious tune, brought back memories of thirty years ago.
It takes about an hour to drive here from Yinchuan. The price is a bit expensive; the entrance fee plus transportation costs nearly 200 yuan per person.
It feels overdeveloped, with too many unnecessary facilities added for commercial purposes, disrupting the original tranquility and serene natural beauty. The roaring seaplanes and speedboats, and the incredibly long return trip (from the island to the sand dunes to the pier, it takes about 20 to 30 minutes to walk).
If you're short on time, this isn't a must-see attraction in Yinchuan.
The Shahu Scenic Area is suitable for taking children to play for a whole day. There are cute pet areas, swan and reed areas, and desert areas. You can also take a sightseeing bus and a boat to go there and back. The experience is very good, and there is no particular congestion during the National Day.

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.

I went to the hot springs again, this time with my parents. The hot spring environment is still very good, the water quality is good, the sand therapy is great, the privacy is good, the staff has a good service attitude and is kind. There is a staff member named Chen Shuxia who is very good. She took the initiative to help get towels and serve tea. She repeatedly reminded us to take our mobile phones and valuables with us and make sure they are waterproof. My parents were very satisfied with this hot spring trip
The scenic spot's mini-program is clear and concise, a thumbs-up.
The performances at Fuxing are too high. If you're going all day, it'll be boring. Going around 5 PM is a good idea. The theater, the interactive performances, and the performances are all good. You can watch them until you leave, so it's not too long and tiring.
The service is good; you can get a stamp and then come back in. A thumbs-up.

The tour guide Dopest was very professional. The two and a half hours were full of useful information. The explanation was lively and interesting. He was also very enthusiastic in interacting with the children. He also recommended local delicious and fun things to do.
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.

As a parent of a boy, it was worth taking him here. He loved it and looked at everything. There weren't many entertainment facilities inside, just some retired aircraft and cannons.
This attraction is a great value for money. You can see historical and cultural items like tanks and J-5 trainer aircraft, and they're incredibly authentic. The venue is also quite large. Even more surprising, we even saw Asia's first artillery piece, which was truly spectacular and exceeded our expectations.
I wish the descriptions could be more detailed, or include more historical battle stories about fighter jets and tanks.
Overall, the experience was fantastic. Seeing so many artillery pieces and fighter jets was incredibly cost-effective.

I didn't make an appointment to go to the Ningxia Museum, so I made an appointment to go to the Geological Museum instead. There are three and a half floors, but only two floors can be visited. I think an hour is enough. There are many children on the first floor, which is quite noisy. However, many real objects in the Ningxia Museum are placed for close viewing, which is very good.
The Ningxia Geological Museum is a thematic museum featuring six halls, one area, a 4D cinema, and a geological and mineral culture plaza. It showcases Earth science, the evolution of life, and the geological environment. Admission is free, with reservations accepted or by scanning a QR code on-site, making it a great place for family interaction and scientific learning. The museum also features interactive experience areas (such as earthquake simulations and fossil excavation) and a 4D cinema (at your own expense), where some exhibits are truly impressive.

The zoo is incredibly large, reflecting the grandeur of Ordos. Each animal has ample space to move around. The cage rides were average, as the animals were too lazy to eat the meat.
It's great. It's still necessary to buy a cage car. It's great to see tigers, leopards, lions and bears up close in the park. The car takes an hour to go around. Then you can go see birds and giant pandas alone. It's very necessary for people who don't have enough physical strength.
