Two Days to Explore Yinchuan! This Itinerary Is Amazing

Finally organized the 2-day trip to Yinchuan during the festival! Starting from Beijing, first went to Lanzhou (averaging 30,000 steps per day as mentioned before), then headed to Yinchuan. This easy itinerary is a must-save～ 📍Day 1 【Ningxia Museum】 🕒9:00-17:00 (Closed on Mondays) 💰Free The museum’s treasure: the Gilded Bronze Ox! Not as famous as the Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow, but definitely worth seeing! 【Zhenbeibu Western Film Studio】 🕒8:00-18:00 📍 East side of National Highway 110, Zhenbeibu, Xixia District, Yinchuan 🎫80 RMB Highly recommend bringing ancient-style costumes for photos! The film studio at sunset is stunning, and you might run into many "Zixia Fairy" lookalikes～The scenes from "A Chinese Odyssey" are recreated with great accuracy! On the way back, remember to take the 1 RMB bus to the city center. There will be a long line, but be sure to grab a seat～ 【Huaiyuan Night Market】 📍 Intersection of Huaiyuan Road and Wencui North Street, Xixia District, Yinchuan Yinchuan locals are really warm and friendly! The crowded night market has a great atmosphere🤣 Must-try: 🍢 Yinchuan-style lamb skewers 🌶️ Spicy Hu Hu 🍖 Big Youbian (crispy fried dough) 🍦 Thai-style fried yogurt (be careful, it’s brain-freezingly cold!) 📍Day 2 The first stop was changed due to rain to check out the super popular Ziqiang Alley Yinchuan logo wall! Queuing up for photos is totally worth it📸 Met a professional photographer who charges 15 RMB for retouching and posing guidance—totally worth it! 🍲 For lunch, had amazing ice-boiled lamb, so tender and delicious～ 【Lanshan Park】 🕒 Open all day 📍 Intersection of Qinshui North Street and Shenyang Road, Jinfeng District The Roman-style architecture is breathtaking! Although there are many stairs to climb, it’s worth it! You might also catch a beautiful sunset🌇 Other attractions skipped: ❌ Shahu Lake / Huangsha Ancient Ferry (already been to Mingsha Mountain) ❌ Helan Mountain Rock Paintings (photos are enough) ❌ Highway 66 (inconvenient without a car)
