Yinchuan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Zhenbeibao West Film Art Center Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
The main shooting scenes of domestic classic film and television dramas are two:
Nanhengdian North Town Fort
This time card: Ningxia's Zhenbei Fort Western Film City
Here is a famous film and television work: "Large words Journey to the West, "Red Sorghum" and other hundreds of works, the shooting area
there are full memories of wood
Zhenbeibao Western Film City
Upon arriving in Yinchuan, I headed straight for the Zhenbeibao Western Film City (Tips)
The movie 'A Chinese Odyssey' made the Zhenbeibao Western Film City famous and gave more people a reason to visit Yinchuan🗽
📍Location: Zhenbeibao Western Film City, Yinchuan
The movie scenes were shot in the Zhenbeibao Western Film City, about 20 kilometers from downtown Yinchuan
🚘Transportation: There is a 'Tourism Line 3' direct bus from Yinchuan Railway Station to Zhenbeibao Western Film City, costing 10 yuan one way; currently, public transportation only allows taking a regular bus to 'Bayi Vehicle Yard Station' and then transferring to Bus 57, which costs a total of 2 yuan and takes a bit longer. Here, I must say, as a capital city, the bus fare is very affordable.
🎫Ticket: 80 yuan for adults, not free for tour guides without a group, but if you are a Global Pass user, you can check '*Where' for a surprise, I got a discount and only paid 20 yuan
📌Key attractions: 1⃣ Qing City: The main scene of 'A Chinese Odyssey' and where the character Zixia Fairy gathers, besides the gate, there are also classic scenes like the Bull Demon King's Palace and the Spider Cave; girls, you must dress up when you come here, you'll be the most beautiful in the whole city; 2⃣ Ming City: The main scene of 'Red Sorghum', it's larger than Qing City and easier to stroll around, the 'A Chinese Odyssey' stele is erected here; 3⃣ Old Yinchuan Street: It's a bit like a food and craft street, with many nostalgic elements, worth visiting; 4⃣ There are many other movie scenes waiting for you to discover.
⏰️Visiting time: I didn't take many photos and still spent over two hours touring, if you want to dress up and take photos, reserve half a day to fully enjoy yourself.
After touring the entire Zhenbeibao Film City🎞, I deeply felt the saying 'Culture is productivity'. In such a desolate place, to build a city from scratch and manage it into a 5A-level tourist spot is really impressive. I hope every friend who comes to Ningxia, to Yinchuan, will definitely come here to see it, it's absolutely worth the trip❣️
Ningxia Trip | Checking in at the 'A Chinese Odyssey' Filming Location
| Checking in at the 'A Chinese Odyssey' Filming Location. The movie 'A Chinese Odyssey' made the Zhenbeibao Western Film City famous, and it is the reason many people visit Yinchuan.
The film site is located in Zhenbeibao Western Film City in Yinchuan, about 20 kilometers from the city center.
Transportation methods🚌:
Public transportation: Take a bus from Xingqing District or Jinfeng District to the Shapotou Scenic Area, which costs about 10 yuan per person. Chartered car: You can choose to charter a car to the scenic area, with prices depending on the car model and mileage. Contact local travel agencies or car rental companies in advance. If it's a day trip, proceed as planned (I joined a day tour). Self-driving: You can drive to the scenic area, where there is a parking lot for visitors.
Ticket price🎫: 80 yuan for adults.
Key spots to visit:
1⃣ Qingcheng: The main filming location of 'A Chinese Odyssey', the gathering place of the character Zixia Fairy. Besides the city gate, there are also classic scenes like the Ox Mansion and the Spider Web Cave. Girls, remember to change outfits here, I dare say, you will be the most beautiful in the entire city;
2⃣ Mingcheng: The main filming location of 'Red Sorghum', larger than Qingcheng, offering a better visiting experience. The stele of 'A Chinese Odyssey' is located here;
3⃣ Old Yinchuan Street: Similar to a food and craft street, with many nostalgic elements, worth visiting;
4⃣ There are many other movie filming locations waiting for you to explore.
Visiting time: Besides not taking many photos, I also strolled here for more than two hours. If you want to do makeup and take good photos, you should reserve at least half a day to enjoy yourself.
After touring the entire Zhenbeibao Film and Television City, I deeply realized the connotation of 'culture is productivity'. It's amazing that such a city was built in such a barren area and even managed to operate a 5A-level tourist spot. I hope every friend who comes to Ningxia, to Yinchuan, will definitely come here to see it, it's absolutely worth the visit.

Helan Mountain National Forest Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Day 2 (Morning) Helan Mountain National Forest Park
1
"To wear out the Helan Mountain passes," Yue Fei considered Helan Mountain as a symbol of his efforts to recover lost territories and reclaim the beautiful rivers and mountains; to geographers, Helan Mountain is part of the 200mm isohyet, marking the boundary between arid and semi-arid regions, as well as monsoon and non-monsoon areas; to the people of Ningxia, Helan Mountain is the paternal mountain that blocks the desert sands and forges the 'Jiangnan of the North'... Early on the second day, we set out westward, venturing into the vast Helan Mountain range.
My mother's hometown is in the Northeast. From the Northeast to the Northwest, the precipitation gradually decreases, and there is a significant change in vegetation. In the Northeast, lush forests cover almost all the high mountains and ridges, forming a spectacular scene of 'a mountain of flowers' when the leaves turn yellow in autumn; in North China (mainly referring to the Yan Mountains and Taihang Mountains), the lush forests are no more, giving way to lower shrubs; further to the Northwest, shrubs are first replaced by meadows, and then by the desert landscape seen in Helan Mountain.
The steep rock walls are mostly bare, with little vegetation, except for a few shrubs and some grass clinging to the ground, stubbornly rooting in the crevices of the barren soil, growing, bearing fruit, and proudly displaying the tenacity of life. Argali sheep can be seen from time to time, their fur color almost indistinguishable from the rock walls, a natural 'camouflage' granted by evolution that makes them—and of course other predators—hard to spot without careful observation. I wonder how they manage to find enough food, can the sparse grass and thorny shrubs on the mountain really satisfy the nutritional needs of their size? Regardless, these 'spirits of Helan Mountain' still roam the mountains today, becoming an indispensable part of Helan Mountain.
Is desolation not beautiful? 'The solitary smoke in the desert rises straight, the setting sun over the long river is round.' On the border of the desert, amidst the vast yellow sand, thousands of miles without a trace of humanity, isn't this desolation? The desert and the long river, the solitary smoke and the setting sun, are spectacular, and isn't that beautiful? When I enthusiastically took in the scenery of Helan Mountain by bus and then by cable car in the Helan Mountain National Forest Park, I gained a deeper understanding of the beauty of Helan Mountain—the beauty of the Northwest. If the beauty of the forests in the Northeast is a gentle 'gracefulness,' then the beauty of Helan Mountain is a rugged 'magnificence.' Looking up from below at the cliffs standing vertically as if cut by a knife and ax, gazing from above at the layers upon layers of bald peaks stretching for miles, one can't help but feel a temperament unique to the Northwest—vast, desolate, magnificent!
Ningxia Helan Mountain Suyukou National Forest Park
Helan Mountain Suyukou National Forest Park is located in the Helan Mountain National Nature Reserve, 50 kilometers northwest of Yinchuan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. The park covers a vast area, with a vegetation coverage rate of 70%, and has a rich natural landscape and unique cultural landscape. The park has towering natural forests such as oil pine, juniper, and spruce, as well as rare shrubs such as cherry, lilac, and Mongolian almond scattered in the valleys and gullies. The depths of the park have a vast forest sea and magnificent cliff landscapes, bringing people a wonderful feeling of returning to and indulging in nature. In addition, the park also has sightseeing cable cars, Cherry Valley Scenic Area, Helan Mountain Museum and other attractions, providing rich historical and cultural connotations and natural scenery.
When in Yinchuan, how can one miss visiting Helan Mountain
When in Yinchuan, how can one miss visiting Helan Mountain.
The Helan Mountain National Forest Park is just a ten-minute drive from Zhenbeibao Film Studio. I think it's one of the most worthwhile places to visit in Yinchuan.
Not just for the name Helan Mountain, which is closely connected to history, but also for the different high mountain landscapes, the special strata of address rocks, and the rock sheep running all over the place.
Yes, there are a lot of rock sheep, and they are very easy to spot.
Once you enter, the sightseeing car takes you deep into the mountains, where you can either climb by yourself or take the cable car. The cable car looks scary but is actually quite stable, and the scenery is also very good. After going up, it is recommended to climb to the Century Tower. On the way to Rabbit Hole, there is a lookout point where you can see some very peculiar rocks. Rabbit Hole itself is not much to see, and you can skip it.
The scenery can be described as magnificent, with a touch of desolation. There are also small animals, suitable for climbing or taking a walk with children.
The desolation that is barren in the eyes of others is the home I think about day and night
How can you miss "Helan Mountain" when you come to Yinchuan
Not for anything else, just the name of Helan Mountain that is closely connected with history, it is worth a visit.
Besides, you can see different mountain landscapes, special address rock layers, and rock sheep running all over the ground.
Helan Mountain is the boundary mountain between the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region,
It used to be the natural barrier of the Central Plains dynasty, blocking the invasion of the northwestern nomadic tribes.
In ancient times, northern minorities such as the Huns, Xianbei, Turks, Uighurs, Tibetans, Dangxiang, etc. grazed and hunted here, multiplied and thrived, and it is still a multi-ethnic mixed living area for Han, Hui, Mongolian, Manchu, etc.
Helan Mountain is majestic and desolate, the rock sheep with protective colors all over their bodies are agile, their bodies are strong, their vitality is vigorous, under the second level of protection, the rock sheep are all over the mountains and can be seen everywhere‼️
Scenic spot
✅Helan Mountain Ba Si Kou Twin Towers Scenic Area opens:
Open from February 13, 2024:
Opening hours: 9:30 to 17:30
Tickets🎫: Free
Ba Si Kou Twin Towers is about 50 kilometers away from the city of Yinchuan. It is the most complete preserved Xixia Buddhist pagoda in China. It has a history of about 1,000 years and is a rare art treasure in the history of Chinese Buddhist pagoda architecture.
10 kilometers west of Ba Si Kou, in the Ba Si Kou Gully, there used to be a four-sided thirteen-story square tower. In 1991, the Ningxia Archaeological Department organized experts to clean up the ruins of the Ba Si Kou square tower. A large number of small mud towers, small mud Buddhas and dozens of precious cultural relics such as Xixia and Han Buddhist scriptures and documents were unearthed. Especially the Xixia Buddhist scriptures "Jixiang Bian Zhi Kou He Ben Xu" that were unearthed caused a sensation at the time. This sutra is the only printed butterfly-bound Xixia Buddhist sutra in China. It is the earliest wooden movable type printed object discovered in the world so far. The discovery of this cultural relic has advanced the invention and use of wooden movable type in our country by nearly a hundred years, that is, from the traditional Yuan to the Xixia, thus ending the history of our country in the Song Dynasty only having movable type printing records but no physical evidence, and strongly proving that one of our country's "Four Great Inventions" "Movable type printing" originated from the fact of the Song Dynasty in China.

Ningxia Shuidonggou Tourist Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
The Lingwu attraction is a great choice for educational and fun family activities
The planning of the scenic area is really good, you must buy a package ticket, which includes all transportation and entertainment projects. It's a great experience for children, combining education, entertainment, and hands-on activities all in one. You can enjoy it from start to finish, and it takes about six hours without any performances and with minimal queuing. The price of 170 yuan is a bargain. Inside the scenic area, there is a huge collection of transportation vehicles... You can ride horses, camels, ox carts, horse-drawn carriages, camel carts, tractors, off-road vehicles, amphibious vehicles, pleasure boats, bamboo rafts...
Shuidonggou
The discovery of Shuidonggou has epoch-making significance, which makes the West recognize that China has prehistoric civilization in the Paleolithic Age. The off-season Shuidonggou has fewer commercial entertainment projects, but I prefer it because the value and core of Shuidonggou are prehistoric civilization, the boundary point of farming and nomadic, and Ming history. Ningxia is indeed not big, if you drive a little further, you cross into Inner Mongolia, 'He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man', this is written about the Great Wall of Ningxia.
Shuidonggou Zhangsan's Small Shop: The Intersection of History
In Shuidonggou, Ningxia, Zhangsan's small shop is highly regarded in the archaeological world for its unique historical background. This seemingly ordinary shop carries a profound history. A century ago, it was the base for French scientists De Rijin and Sang Zhihua to explore the Shuidonggou site, where they left valuable archaeological materials.
To commemorate these two great archaeologists, Zhangsan's small shop has specially preserved their daily necessities, photos, and manuscripts, and their statues stand in the courtyard. These objects silently tell the story of their hard work and passion for science. This Zhangsan's small shop is a relocated version, its original location is close at hand, silently telling the glorious history.
cassia_serenity_valentine Step across two provinces, happy for a whole year
In the vast land of China, there is such a unique place, it is not only a witness to history, but also a bridge between two provinces - the Ming Great Wall Hedong Wall. This ancient city wall, which once served as an important barrier against the Mongolian cavalry in the Ming Dynasty, now stands quietly there, telling the vicissitudes of history.
What's even more amazing is that it has now become the boundary between Ningxia and Inner Mongolia. Standing here, you just need to take a light step to cross two provinces and feel the unique customs of the two regions. This unique experience, as if people are at the intersection of time and space, can both feel the heaviness of history and appreciate the cultural integration between the two provinces.
Some people say, 'Step across two provinces, happy for a whole year.' Here, every step is full of surprises and expectations. Why not come and experience it, feel that unique happiness and satisfaction!

Prehistoric humans painted a sun god on Helan Mountain, confirming it as the Sun Father | A must-visit in Yinchuan
Visiting Yinchuan, it's impossible not to see the Helan Mountain rock paintings. They rank at least second to none. Helan Mountain is the father mountain of the Yinchuan people. In terms of cultural traces, besides temples, palace ruins, and mansions, there are the rock paintings. In fact, the Helan Mountain rock paintings are scattered throughout many gullies and ravines of the mountain. However, the most exquisite and representative ones are at Helan Pass. The scenic area is really considerate, placing a small red dot next to the location of the paintings.
-
🌟Highlights:
❶ The most representative must be the ubiquitous sun god painting. It is drawn anthropomorphically, representing the Sun Father. There are 24 rays of light above its head. 24 is an interesting number, as there are also 24 solar terms and 24 hours in a day. Ah, the prehistoric people probably didn't understand this. Is the sun god nearsighted? Look, isn't there a circle outside its eyes? Hmm, it seems there are no glasses frames though~
❷ There are also many human figure paintings, and they are all different; handprint paintings are also a feature here
❸ There are Ming Dynasty stone carvings, and the beacon towers of the Great Wall from the Ming Dynasty, right at the mouth of the gully.
❹ Rock Painting Ancient Village, where there are no people living anymore. There are a few old and dilapidated cottages left. The rest are newly built cafes and the like. Outside the scenic area, there is also an Embroidery Ancient Village, but it also lacks signs of life.
❺ Helan Yinchuan Han Meilin Art Museum, worth a visit
-
📙Background Knowledge:
Rock paintings are generally prehistoric, dating back to as early as 40,000 years ago. However, the age of the Helan Mountain rock paintings is not clear. There are more than ten methods used by the academic community to date the Helan Mountain rock paintings, but none has been universally accepted. The mainstream view is that they date from 10,000 to 3,000 years ago.
-
🅿️Navigation Parking:
There is a large parking lot, but overnight parking is not allowed, and it costs 5 yuan each time.
-
🗺️Recommended Route:
❶ The whole journey can also be done on foot, with a one-way distance of 1 kilometer, and along the way, you can see many rock goats.
❷ Walk counterclockwise, first to the Rock Painting Museum, and on the way back, visit the Art Museum.
❸ After entering the gully, first go to the north side, where the sun god rock painting and some human figure paintings are concentrated. At the end, cross the stream and walk up for a short distance to reach the Helan Waterfall. This is actually man-made, and after the National Day, there is no water, and thus no waterfall.
❹ On the way back to the mouth of the gully, there are uphill stone steps, nothing much to see, just a high place to look down at the gully mouth and the Yinchuan plain in front.
❺ The sightseeing car runs between the gully mouth and the Rock Painting Museum.

You must visit Helan Mountain if you haven't been there! It's indescribably beautiful
Helan Mountain Rock Paintings
The mountain is always flowing with gurgling spring water. It's sweet and refreshing in the summer, and in winter it freezes into white, crystal-clear jade belts. Giant ice cones and icicles hang high, with ice stalagmites, ice teeth, and ice pillars everywhere... forming a beautiful landscape, adding vitality and poetry to the winter of Helan Mountain. The Helankou site area is like a frozen kingdom. Under the sunlight, the ice scenery shines like crystal glass, forming a unique winter scene in the north.
Looking from afar, under the reflection of the ice waterfall, the sky appears even bluer, like the Milky Way falling into the mountain stream. Up close, the ice waterfall is as majestic as stalactites, making one marvel at the wonders of nature!
The true meaning of winter is to create your own little world with dexterous hands! The Helankou site area not only has giant snow sculptures with a festive atmosphere, but also snow sculpture teachers demonstrating on site, showing us the 'growth' process of snow sculptures. But I couldn't send it out
The snow scene of Helan Mountain is dreamlike and incredibly beautiful. The falling snowflakes are like light goose feathers fluttering down, and in a short while, Helan Mountain is covered in white.
Explore the Yinchuan World Rock Painting Exhibition and discover the wonderful journey of time
Explore the Yinchuan World Rock Painting Exhibition and discover the wonderful journey of time! 😍🎨
Hey! Today I brought you to the Yinchuan World Rock Painting Exhibition full of art and history! 🎉🌟
Entering the exhibition hall, it seems to have traveled to the ancient times. These rock paintings have witnessed the development and changes of human civilization over thousands of years. 😲💫
First, we came to the birthplace of rock paintings. With the introduction of a professional commentator, I suddenly realized that rock paintings are not simple graffiti, but the sincere expression of ancient people towards nature, life and faith. Every stroke and every painting contains profound cultural significance. 🌄🎨
Through rock paintings, I saw the lifestyle and values of primitive humans. For example, the rock paintings depicting hunting scenes show their awe of nature and desire for survival. And the rock paintings with deer and horses as the main theme made me feel the ancient people's worship and dependence on animals. 🌿🌺
Each rock painting is unique and contains different stories and legends. This is what I saw on the rock painting technique chart. The ancient people's meticulous observation and depiction made me respect them. They used pigments, handprints, shells and other tools to carefully depict hunting, rituals and cosmic mysteries on the rock wall to commemorate and inherit. 🖌️🌌
Wandering in the ocean of this world rock painting exhibition, I seem to have seen the traces of ancient life and their love for life. I am immersed in this journey of foreign travel, feeling the passage of time and the depth of history, and have a deeper understanding of the power of art and the inheritance of culture. 🗺️💖

Western Xia Mausoleums National Archaeological Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
If you say that Ningxia Yinchuan tourism has to go to an attraction, it must be the "West Xia Ling". "Xi Xia Ling" is located in the west of Yinchuan City, Helan Mountain, is the tomb of the ancient "Xi Xia Kingdom" emperors.
Many people used to call it the "Western Xia Imperial Tomb", which is actually inaccurate. The correct statement should be "Xi Xia Ling". Because in the ancient Chinese tradition, the status of "king" was lower than that of "the emperor", and the "Western Xia Imperial Tomb" was suspected of being "degraded."
"Xi Xia Ling" is now a national 4A-level tourist scenic spot, a national key cultural relics protection unit, a national key scenic spot, and was listed in the China World Cultural Heritage Pre-list in 2012, and many experts believe that the "West Xia Ling" is likely It will be China's next world heritage, what do you think?
If you want to find a sentence to describe the Western Xia Imperial Tomb, then this sentence is a good fit.
The tomb is a little farther away, the sun in the north is extremely strong, the sky is beautiful, the blue sky and white clouds are distinct, and you will feel that everything in the world is quiet and beautiful, wearing stilettos, carrying drones, stepping on gravel when approaching the tomb. On the road, I walked very slowly, and the wind blew my hair and wrapped it on my body. Ok! I am intoxicated. Here, the whole person is empty, and the troubles of the earth are instantly dissipated in the wind. In many places, there will be magic powers that can bring us many different feelings, which will shock our hearts! In fact, at that moment, if there is no one, I would like to dance there! ! ! We are very puzzled as to why these mausoleums can be kept in the wind and sand without any cover and maintenance for so long. (After returning the information, I know that because the ground is covered with gravel and coarse sand, the foundation has large bearing capacity, poor water retention, natural drainage. The conditions are good, so that the Xixia Mausoleum successfully passed through many major earthquakes in the history of the Northwest, plus less precipitation, which is conducive to the overall protection of the cemetery.) Looking at the products of this ancient architectural technique, suddenly said that I want to go to Egypt. Look at the pyramid. The Western Xia Imperial Tomb is also known as the pyramid of China! I don't know how the Egyptian pyramid will bring people's feelings, and I am also looking forward to it! No matter how many roads I have traveled and how many scenery I have seen, I look forward to walking with you to see the beauty of this world... In 1920, after 190 years, the Xixia Dynasty, which had been on the side of the Chinese earthquake in Chinese history, was ruined. The family has also disappeared since then. Only the tall earthen mausoleum under the Helan Mountain, the Xixia Mausoleum, remains silent.
Western Xia Imperial Tombs: burial of wind and sand, thousands of years of ancient city dreams
continuous Helan Mountain background, there is an innocent desert, holding up one pyramid-shaped tall bauxite building, in the vast Under the western sky, it is extraordinarily majestic. Here is the Xixia Mausoleum, a dream of a thousand-year-old city buried by sand.
More than 700 years ago, the northwestern land stood a feudal dynasty of the "Great Summer" with the Song and Liao Dynasty. It was called "Western Xia" in history. This Xixia dynasty, once a prominent party, was left to future generations, but one after another.
The Western Xia Imperial Tomb is one of the largest and most intact emperor cemeteries in China, and is equivalent to the Ming Tombs in Beijing and the Songling in Gong County, Henan. Because of the tight schedule, we did not visit the Xixia Museum and went directly to the No. 3 Mausoleum, which was opened to the public.
The mysterious Western Xia Imperial Tomb is a tourist attraction that appreciates Western Xia culture and explores ancient times. It has an infinite appeal with its attractive charm and Xixia cultural relics that are quite different from those of the Central Plains.
Actually, there is no desolateness in my imagination. If you want to visit the No. 1 Ling Ma, you can ride a bicycle. Our girls are wearing skirts. It is not convenient to ride, just in the No. 3 Mausoleum. Wandered around. Each of these larger terracotta buildings is like a mysterious castle, and their broken walls are exposed to wind and sun, but they show a tenacity that never yields time and sandstorms!
/ Hh/Its not easy to go around here. Fortunately, I bring a hat every time, and I can take a photo and a concave shape. So the hats exit rate is very high, almost throughout the whole process. The skirt is yellow this time, and The scenery is still relatively good.
The Xia Dynasty Mausoleum has been lying here for a thousand years, like a vicissitudes of the old man, quietly telling the story of the past, under the Helan Mountain, and we are only a short passer.
