2024 Yinchuan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)
Yinchuan City, on the banks of the Yellow River, is the provincial capital of Ningxia Hui Minority Autonomous Region. In 1038 AD, Li Yuanhao (Emperor Jingzong of the Western Xia) founded the Xia Empire. He built his capital on the site of present-day Yinchuan. Today, on the outskirts of Yinchuan, you can find the well-preserved imperial tombs of the Western Xia Mausoleums. This has become one of the most-visited sites in Yinchuan. Yinchuan is also a city completely suffused with Hui ethnic style and culture. There are numerous mosques throughout the city. You can also go to the Helan Mountains, where it is possible not only to enjoy the beautiful natural landscape but also to take a look at prehistoric cliff paintings dating back to more than 10,000 years ago.

Inside there's an art gallery, fermentation workshop, and product display area, it felt like I spent a day in an art museum, and there are gardeners and a beautiful housekeeper to have a warm chat with you!

Helan Rocky Mountains!
Location: Helan Mountain Reserve near Yinchuan city in Ningxia province.
Helan Mountain is a north-south mountain range located in the boundary of Ningxia and Inner Mongolia which is an important geographical boundary in northwestern China. It stretches 220 km (137 mi) from north to south.
We took the cable car up and down. Not expensive and you get stunning views on the way.
These mountains are unique and you can spend the whole day looking at the deers and watching the mountain tops.

Colourful City Oasis
Location: Yinchuan city, Ningxia province.
Chinese name: 阅海湾水上公园
English name: Yinchuan Water Park
This park has a beautifully large lake that is stunning with the reflections of the buildings and flowers. I went several times at sunset to see the wonderful colours in the early summer evenings.
Getting there: This lake is located in the center of Yinchuan city. Yinchuan is easily accessible via fast train and plane.

Historical treat
Ningxia museum is a great place to check out to get a sense of the history of the area. There are tons of statues and pottery which have unique charm and history. I especially liked the cow/bull head. Pretty cool
You can spend an hour or two here and soak it all in before continuing you're exploration of the area. Definitely a place to visit

Instagram location in Yinchuan 🥂
We came to Yinchuan to go to the desert. Having an extra day to spend in the city I found this winery: it looked gorgeous and so European that we couldn't miss it.
We took a taxi from our hotel (less than 20yuan), ticket cost 80yuan.
We were almost alone! (mid August)
First you visit the museum part (all written information is in Chinese and English) and then go to the degustation part (2 wine glasses and a small bottle of cognac were included)
After visiting the manor house we went to the vinery, too.
It was 💯 % worth visiting. Otherwise I'd never know Ningxia was such a famous wine region.

3days in the desert (Alxa-Tengger)
Normally I travel on my own but sometimes it's much better to have a group tour. My friend and I bought a Chinese tour starting from Yinchuan and never regreted (our Chinese is rather basic but sometimes there are English speaking travel mates in such groups). It was a walking tour, about 52km totally (and this was the only regret 😂) , so on the 2d day we rented camels and rode 12km on camels (I'm a rider, it was OK for me, but you'd better check if it's ok for you with a small ride in advance 🤭)
During the trip we saw a few lakes (I'll make another review of the red Swan lake) and all colors of the desert as the weather changed throughout the trip from sunny to rainy. The accommodation in Mongolian tents was OK, in the tents - quite basic, but definitely one to remember 😊.
Overall it was a very bright experience
(which due to covid restrictions is difficult to have on your own now)
In Yinchuan we lived in Yihe hotel and some Labor hotel which accept foreigners.
🍇Wine tasting in China🍷
Chinese wine is underrated!
Ningxia province hosts some of the best wines in the country.
You can have the opportunity to visit various wineries around this wine-filled province.
✨Make sure you make an appointment with the winery that you end up choosing.
✨You can rent a car or grab a Didi to the destination and talk with the driver to arrange the way back to the city as well.
✨You don’t have to go all the way to Europe for a unique wine tasting experience. You can taste incredible wines locally produced and discover the potential of Chinese wines.
✨Make sure to visit the Yinchuan stadium for a beautiful sunset.
💖Enjoy!

You can pretend to be in Byzantine Castle in Ningxia!
Ningxia's most worthwhile winery list is definitely the Changyu Mosel XV winery. 2018 China Northwest Tourism Marketing Conference issued a heavyweight: "Magic Northwest 100 Scenes" list, 17 scenic spots in Ningxia, one of them is Zhang Yuning Xia Mosel 15th Winery.
() Featured recommendation:
() Ningxia Changyu Moss 15th Winery, designed by Lanyu Culture. The entire winery has invested nearly 790 million yuan. In the end, it was built with magnificent momentum, like the medieval Byzantine castle.
(sweet) can be pretending to be abroad here, no wonder it has become the most popular tourist destination in all Ningxia wineries. I met the newcomer who took a wedding dress here, and I feel that it has become a wedding photo carding spot for Ningxia people.
(Cool) There is also a wine museum; the entertaining wine museum uses interactive games such as cutting-edge technology augmented reality to unveil the mysterious veil of wine in the play.
(Love) The constant temperature and humidity underground cellar is the palace of sleeping wine, the winding labyrinth, let you get close to the wine beauty. It is said that the wine produced here is only exported abroad.
(Kiss) Not only is the castle popular among tourists, but the winery has always been striving for excellence in the winemaking process. The excellent quality of the wine not only impresses every wine lover, but also attracts the attention of the world's tourists.
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
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?
Everyone should have been on the subway train, but do you know that there is a special "cloud track" in Yinchuan, Ningxia?
"Cloud Track" Line 1 is located in Yinchuan Flower Expo Park. It is an overhead loop for rail transit. It is an air tour loop of Huaboyuan. The clearance is 6-8 meters, the total length of the line is 5.67 kilometers, and the train speed is 15 kilometers/hour. The interval runs for 30 minutes. The
train departure station is built on the south side of Huabo Park in the south gate of the exhibition island. In order to better let passengers overlook the Huabo Garden from the air, the Cloud Track line along the line is in the islands. There are 8 interchange stations for major venues and attractions.
Yinchuan Huaboyuan Cloud Track construction project was built by BYD Company. It took only 4 months from construction to operation, and it also created the most Yinchuan rail transit.
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.

--------
Do you like the style of Yinchuan and Zhongwei? Don't forget to follow me, more exciting travel guides are waiting for you to discover! 🌈✨
Avoid the crowds and go to a lesser-known destination.
To find tranquility, I prefer the hidden gems, such as Alxa League in Inner Mongolia, which is only a 1.5-hour drive from Yinchuan Airport, and is my destination for this trip.
👩💼Why did I choose Wuhai?
🤔The answer comes from a movie🎥.
The scene is vast, distant, lonely, and ethereal, with golden sand, blue lakes, and lonely trees, which instantly touched the softest part of my heart.
So, for my trip to the northwest, I chose Wuhai as my first stop.
🚗[Travel Plan]
D1: Depart from Hangzhou, transfer in Yinchuan, arrive in Wuhai, and visit Huaiyuan Night Market at night.
D2: Depart from Wuhai, visit Lamasery, and then go to Zhongwei.
🤔What to do?
🔹A must-visit is the "Wuhai Lake" scenic area, where mountains and water are intertwined, and the city and water are integrated, making Wuhai worthy of the reputation of the Pearl of the Yellow River.
📍Location: "Wuhai Lake No. 1 Pier Scenic Area", ticket price is CNY 98, including round-trip ferry tickets.
📝Tips: Want to take a photo of the internet-famous tree? You must take a boat to get there. The last boat is at 16:30. After getting off the boat, you can walk for half an hour or take an off-road vehicle to the shooting point. Remember to pay attention to the return time!
🔹Visit Manba Lamasery, a Tibetan Buddhist temple built during the Qianlong period, which locals affectionately call "Little Lhasa".
📍Navigation: "Lamasery", there is a parking lot at the entrance, and admission is free.
📝Tips: The temple is located halfway up the mountain and requires a walk up the mountain, which is very photogenic! Note that the temple is closed at noon and opens after 14:30. If you want to rent clothes for photos, you need to rent them in advance in Wuhai City, as there are no rental services around the temple.
🍽️What to eat?
🔸Recommended: "Old Ama Mongolian Restaurant", "Sanping Stew Restaurant", "Longheng Braised Noodles", "Maji Lamb Restaurant", and "Huaiyuan Night Market" beef patties, Nurmai spicy strips, rolled cold noodles, Wuji milk rice wine, although I still can't accept the spicy paste.
👗What to wear?
🔸High SPF is key! Compared to sunscreen and sun-protective clothing, I prefer lightweight sun-protective gear. The sun-protective clothing I bought with my best friend is cool and breathable, and comfortable even when walking in the desert.
🔸The wind is strong in the desert, so it is best to choose hats and sunglasses with straps, and boots or slippers are the best choice for shoes.
This trip not only allowed me to appreciate the magnificent scenery of Wuhai but also made me deeply appreciate the charm of niche tourism. On the journey, we should not only enjoy the scenery but also learn to respect and protect the land, making every trip a beautiful memory.
Students will cry with excitement. You must stay at this hotel when you come to Yinchuan!
Yinchuan Sheraton Hotel
|🏰 Yinchuan Sheraton Hotel is relatively new, opened in 2019. The hotel is in the new district of Yinchuan, less than 10 minutes by taxi from Lanshan Park. It is a 10-minute walk from the Zhong Arab Axis. Although it is relatively far from the old city of Yinchuan, Yinchuan is not big.
🏰 The hotel is a castle-style building with Western-style interior and exterior decoration.
🏰 I booked a basic room type. When I checked in, the lady at the front desk said she would check the room for me: I could upgrade to the executive floor and check in immediately, or upgrade to a suite but I would have to wait. I chose the suite and went out to eat some spicy food (I found out after eating that it was actually a hot pot).
🏰 The room is quite large. When you enter the door, there is a walk-in closet and a main bathroom on the left, and a long corridor leading to the guest bathroom and living room. This design is very convenient.
🏰 The executive lounge is not big, even though it has two floors. The biggest feature is that it is suitable for taking pictures, and the decoration is in an internet celebrity style. Happy Hour is quite simple. I only experienced it for one day, and then decided to experience Yinchuan cuisine, which would be more enjoyable.
🏰 Breakfast has certain characteristics, with orange juice-flavored drinks (although relatively thin), and the dishes are the same for two days. However, you don't need to eat too much breakfast, you need to save some stomach for Yinchuan's various delicacies.
Room: The area is large, and a pillar will block the view. The layout can be improved. The TV can be cast, and the lighting is good.
Bed: The hardness is soft, which does not suit my preference. There are two down pillows, but they are not very full. The sleeping experience needs to be improved.
Bathroom: It is an ordinary toilet, the bathroom is large, the water pressure is low, and the shampoo, shower gel, and conditioner are complete.
Others: The front desk service is good; there are free convenience items in the lobby; there are indoor views on each floor, which is special; the laundry room and gym are together, with two washing machines and two dryers, and the laundry detergent and softener are individually packaged, but the service staff does not replenish them in time, and there are few hangers; there are not many fitness equipment.
Breakfast: There is room for improvement, with few varieties and the taste needs to be improved.
❇️ In short, Yinchuan Sheraton is cost-effective and worth experiencing this castle.

Sofia Taylor32 Serendipity [Yinchuan Travelogue] Xixia Mausoleum.
Address: Helan Mountain East, Xixia District, Yinchuan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region
Transportation: Self-driving, plenty of parking spaces in the scenic area
Travel experience:
The scenic area is divided into a museum area and a mausoleum area, with a total area of 50 square kilometers. It is a national 4A-level scenic spot and the third batch of national archaeological site parks. The preferential policy is extremely strict, and there is no policy for the three-card holders and veterans. During the holidays, there are two gendarmes sitting in the ticket office to check the documents one by one.
In 1038, Li Yuanhao, the leader of the Dangxiang, established the Western Xia and moved his grandfather Li Jiqian and father Li Deming to the east of Helan Mountain. Until the Western Xia was destroyed by the Mongols, a total of 9 imperial tombs and 271 accompanying tombs formed the Xixia Mausoleum site group. With the continuous Helan Mountain as the back, there is a large open space in front as a photo. The large main mausoleum is made of layers of adobe, so the Xixia Mausoleum is also known as the Pyramid of China.
The Xixia Mausoleum Museum exhibits various cultural relics around the Xixia culture, among which the most famous is the chimeras. The chimeras exhibits in the National Museum of China in Beijing were also unearthed from the Xixia Mausoleum site. In the exhibition hall, you can often see the NPCs of the script killing interacting with the players in the corner. Introducing new ways of playing in museums is a good experience.
