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.

Lanshan Park is undoubtedly the most popular tourist attraction in Yinchuan. The park features a large, shimmering lake. Beside the lake is a standard football field. Surrounding the field on three sides are tall stands. If that were all, it would just be a decent park. The most striking feature is the row of buildings atop the stands. These buildings are decorated in a classic European style. Those who watched Saint Seiya as children will remember the Zodiac Palaces; this architectural style is reminiscent of Greek mythology. Actually, this row of buildings has no practical significance; it's just a long corridor. The focus is on the design, but even that is enough to make it incredibly popular online. #FreePark #Yinchuan #Ningxia #Stadium #Park #CityPark #Stadium #WeekendGetaway #CaptureBeautifulMoments #NingxiaTourism

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.

Visiting Yinchuan during the off-season is so great! Although there are fewer attractions than in the summer, it feels like having the whole place to yourself. You don't have to queue for any of them, making for a fantastic experience.

After visiting Yinchuan, we went to the Huaiyuan Tourist Night Market to sample a variety of delicious food. We were particularly impressed by the one-meter-long skewers, which cost 25 yuan each and could easily be shared by three women. They were incredibly delicious. The grilled lamb chops were 12 yuan a skewer, made entirely of small ribs, and the meat was incredibly tender. We also had freshly skewered lamb shanks, which satisfied our craving for the rich, tender lamb. We also waited in line for spicy noodles, delicious and juicy pan-fried dumplings, and a grandpa's homemade fermented glutinous rice wine with milk and eggs. We couldn't get enough!

Longyu Winery, nestled at the foot of Helan Mountain, is an absolute gem for any Ningxia traveler! Every snapshot is a European-style masterpiece, making you feel like you've stepped into a European manor. The entire experience was a delightful surprise! A professional guide led us through the winery, from rows of aging oak barrels in the underground cellars to the century-old culture of the second-floor wine museum, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of wine. Even checking out our newest vintage wines felt like a special occasion. The tasting and souvenirs included in the ticket are incredibly good value. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Yinchuan!

I went there because of the filming locations for "A Chinese Odyssey," fulfilling a childhood dream. Many scenes are still exactly the same. I owe Stephen Chow a movie ticket, hahaha. It was a great experience, and I'll definitely come again.

白驹幕府过隙

It's completely borrowed from "A Chinese Odyssey" The environment and facilities of the scenic spot are very average, and the road surface of the parking lot is not hardened and bumpy. The scenic spot is roughly divided into three areas, Ming City, Qing City and Yinchuan Retro Old Street. Because of the climate. The wind and sand are very dusty. Just come and go.

Yuanshi Winery is a prime example of the harmonious blend of nature and craftsmanship. Transformed from an abandoned sand and gravel mine, it took six years to "turn decay into magic," reshaping the ecosystem by turning over soil and collecting stones, and building traditional Chinese architecture with distinctly Eastern charm. Amidst red walls and gray tiles, the vineyards stretch like a sea, every corner telling a story of rebirth. Visiting during the harvest season in September and October allows you not only to stroll along the vineyard corridors and sample fine wines, but also to witness firsthand the wondrous process of winemaking, seeing how bunches of grapes transform into a fine wine in your glass. The wine landscape of the eastern foothills of the Helan Mountains extends far beyond this! From modern boutique wineries to secluded cellars nestled in the mountains, each winery nurtures its unique terroir, allowing time to refine its aroma. If you crave the romance of a light buzz and are captivated by the stories behind fine wines, this land will surely make your trip worthwhile—after all, every drop of wine here is brewed from the sunshine and winds of this "Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall."

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.
