Things to do in Wuzhong

The last canyon on the upper reaches of the Yellow River, commonly known as the Lesser Three Gorges of the Yellow River, is a complex scenic area combining natural scenery, Western Xia culture, and modern water conservancy projects. The main attractions are the ten-mile canyon cruise, the 108 Pagodas, and the Qingtongxia Dam.

The experience of visiting the Qingtongxia Yellow River Grand Canyon is very good. During the National Day holiday, you need to queue up for the sightseeing bus to the dam, but it takes time. The arrangement of taking a boat to the 108 Towers opposite is very reasonable, and you can also climb the 108 Towers.

This trip to Hunan was an excellent experience from start to finish. Our tour guide, Mi, was highly responsible and attentive to everyone. When some tourists experienced motion sickness, she promptly provided drinking water and motion sickness medication to comfort them. Even when we encountered a traffic accident and the scene was chaotic, she calmly and effectively calmed everyone down. Throughout the trip, she took excellent care of each tourist, demonstrating dedication and reliability. It was a very worthwhile trip.

Haba Lake is located at the source of the largest shifting sand belt in the central part of the salt lake. Patches of sand willows ripple like green waves in the wind across the sea of ​​sand, while clusters of drought-resistant willow forests on the low-lying dunes resemble overlapping mushroom clouds, appearing and disappearing in the distance. Even more valuable is the preservation of a considerable area of ​​rare natural willow and poplar forests on the southern edge of the Mu Us Desert, forming a unique plant community.

Taohua Creek is a scenic spot in Niu Shou Mountain. This is a corner that will be forgotten if you take the scenic area bus. But it is very beautiful, especially in the spring when the peach blossoms are in full bloom. It is on a small road on the left side of the entrance to the scenic area, and you can see it by hiking. Like Yinlong Lake, it is quiet and ignored but still shining.

The Yellow River Altar is located in Qingtongxia City, Wuzhong, Ningxia. It was built for the purpose of worshiping the Yellow River and is backed by the Helan Mountains. The whole park looks large and imposing, but the materials used in the park’s buildings are average. I hope it will be well maintained and passed down from generation to generation.

The Wuzhong City Museum is the perfect place to visit after morning tea! The building is truly grand, situated in the Binhe New Area with a massive 18,000 square meters of space. The winding Yellow River relief wall in the entrance hall is breathtaking, immediately conveying the spirit of "The Yellow River enriches Ningxia." The museum is divided into four main exhibition halls: "Tracing the Origins of Wuzhong," "Red Wuzhong," "Returning Home to Wuzhong," and "Beautiful Wuzhong." Following the historical thread, you can explore from the ancient history of Lingzhou to the red memories. The museum houses over ten thousand artifacts, with the epitaph of Lady Lü of the Tang Dynasty and the gilded Kaiyuan Tongbao coins being among its treasures. Admission is free, and after your visit, you can go to the nearby Yellow River Tower to see the Great Bend of the Yellow River – a perfectly planned itinerary!

I wanted to go there 17 years ago, and finally got there today. Beautiful brick carvings, friendly church members. Thank you very much.
