You must visit this secret place in Zhongwei, Ningxia before leaving Ningxia.
Ningxia Zhongwei, a seriously underestimated treasure town!
Here I got to know a niche secret place - Huangyang Ancient Falls.
It is gently embraced by the lush ancient jujube forest 🌲, facing the desert to the north and the Yellow River to the south. Strolling in the ancient village 🏡, it feels like being in a quiet paradise, and it is very small, it is really suitable for avoiding the crowds and playing in person!

🐴Accommodation
This time we chose to stay at the Xide Holiday Farm, which is directly in the scenic area, making it more convenient for sightseeing.
The holiday farm is an earth-toned building surrounded by lush green forests, with mountains and deserts behind it, which really gives it a fairy-tale feel!
The farm has many room types to choose from, including courtyard rooms with ancient village views and courtyards with their own hot springs. Just think about playing for a day and taking a hot spring bath to eliminate all the fatigue! The room is equipped with advanced intelligent system, making the stay very comfortable.
