A Must-Visit for Road Trip Enthusiasts in China: Ningxia Zhongwei's Route 66

When in Ningxia, one must make a trip to Route 66 to see what the Chinese version of a Western road trip movie would look like. Route 66 in Zhongwei is located in the Shapotou district of Zhongwei city, leading from the city to the ancient villages of Nan Changtan or Bei Changtan. This rural road is known as Zhongwei's Route 66 because it winds through rolling valleys and runs alongside the Yellow River, with some stretches of road extending straight into the distance as far as the eye can see. It takes about 1 hour to drive from Zhongwei city center. Continuing along Route 66, you will reach Bei Changtan, an ancient village of the Western Xia Dangxiang people, which is worth a visit. 🚗 Overall, the road conditions on Route 66 are good, and there are no special requirements for vehicles; even ordinary sedans can travel smoothly.
