I'm back from Yinchuan, and I really don't recommend traveling there in February or March.

"Helan Mountain stands tall, the Yellow River flows endlessly, the moonlight of Phoenix City fills my heart, the morning bells of the Drum Tower awaken memories, the stories of Yinchuan are forever beautiful." Humming "Love Song of Yinchuan," Yinchuan in February and March, although still carrying the chill of winter, also harbors a unique warmth and romance. Come and embark on this special journey! Itinerary • Day 1: Drum Tower - Jade Emperor Pavilion - Walking Street After arriving in Yinchuan, first visit the Drum Tower, a historic building and one of Yinchuan's landmarks. Feel the passage of time amidst the sound of its bells. Then, head to the Jade Emperor Pavilion, where the unique architectural style is eye-catching. In the evening, stroll along the pedestrian street, brilliantly lit and filled with various local snacks and goods. Enjoy a steaming bowl of mutton saozi noodles to warm your stomach and heart 🍜 • Day 2: Zhenbeipu Western Film Studio In February, the film studio is free from the summer hustle and bustle, exuding a sense of tranquility and timelessness. Stepping into this place is like traveling back to the scenes of classic movies. Here you can find the Pansi Cave from "A Chinese Odyssey" and the moon gate from "Red Sorghum." Dress up in ancient costumes for photos and immerse yourself in the atmosphere 📷 • Day 3: Helan Mountain Rock Paintings - Western Xia Tombs In the morning, visit the Helan Mountain rock paintings and admire the mysterious marks left by ancient humans, experiencing their love for life and reverence for nature. In the afternoon, explore the Western Xia Tombs, a mysterious site that tells the story of the rise and fall of the Western Xia Dynasty. Standing in front of the tombs, you can almost hear the echoes of history. Accommodation Recommendations • Xingqing District: ◦ JI Hotel: Conveniently located with easy access to transportation, surrounded by many restaurants and shops. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the service is attentive, allowing you to fully rest during your trip 🛏️ ◦ Holiday Inn Yinchuan International Trade Center: Fully equipped with comfortable surroundings, the hotel's restaurant also offers authentic Ningxia cuisine. Must-Do Experiences in Yinchuan ✅ Take a photo with the Drum Tower, a landmark building, while accompanied by the melody of "Love Song of Yinchuan." ✅ Imitate classic movie scenes at Zhenbeipu Western Film Studio and experience being an "actor." ✅ At the foot of Helan Mountain, quietly appreciate the profound history reflected in the rock paintings. ✅ Listen to the guide tell stories of the Western Xia Dynasty at the Western Xia Tombs and explore that mysterious history. ✅ Savor Yinchuan's specialties, such as hand-grabbed mutton and eight-treasure tea, and tantalize your taste buds. Important Notes The temperature in Yinchuan is low in February and March, so dress warmly. Bring thick cotton-padded clothes, scarves, and gloves 🧣 Check the opening hours and ticket information for each attraction in advance to avoid delays. Observe the rules and protect cultural relics when visiting scenic spots. Yinchuan, a city full of stories, awaits your exploration in February and March.
