Things to do in Pingluo

I had just arrived in Yinchuan this morning and hurriedly booked a guided tour of the museum. Our guide, Chen Jianrong, quickly contacted me and explained the itinerary and some important notes. He was attentive, responsible, and very approachable. It was another day of learning!

Xinghai Lake is located in the eastern part of Dawukou District, Shizuishan City. The Shanshui Avenue passes through the lake, with a total area of ​​43 square kilometers and a lake area of ​​more than 20 square kilometers. The scenic area consists of six distinctive scenic spots: Hundred Birds Singing, Golden Western Region, Nansha Sea, Crane Valley, Crescent Sea, and Egret Island.

The Western Xia Imperial Tombs Relics Park is an intangible cultural heritage site and a must-see attraction in Yinchuan. Buying tickets online is very convenient; simply scan a QR code to enter. Half a day is usually enough to see everything, making it a worthwhile trip.

The moment the accelerator was pressed, the speedboat, nicknamed the "Ferrari of the water," shot off like an arrow, slicing through the mirror-like surface. The wind whistled past our ears, and tiny waves gently grazed the hull, leaving smooth white trails. Our vision unfolded along the expansive water, the outline of Lanshan Park gradually becoming clear along the shoreline. The dark green mountains, shrouded in lush vegetation, reflected in the shimmering water, while pavilions nestled among the trees added a touch of tranquility. The entire journey was seamless; the speed of the speedboat cutting through the waves blended perfectly with the breathtaking scenery, every second filled with exhilarating joy. A sea breeze carrying a light mist brushed against our faces, and the next stop was slowly approaching along the channel. This water journey, combining speed and magnificent scenery, was a truly fulfilling experience.

This stay was very pleasant. Xiao Lin at the front desk was exceptionally friendly and responsive during check-in, patiently and meticulously answering all my questions. She was also very efficient. The hotel was quiet and clean overall, and the rooms were spotless and comfortable. The location was convenient for getting around, and the overall value for money was excellent. Xiao Lin's thoughtful service greatly enhanced my trip, and I would definitely choose this hotel again if needed. I also recommend it to everyone.

It's not bad, it's quite fun inside, and the toilet is very clean. The most impressive thing is the academy, the architecture inside is ancient, beautiful and elegant, the Chinese courtyard, and there are koi. The koi inside are also very beautiful, and there are some particularly large ones. The kittens in the yard are also very cute. The intangible cultural exhibition hall on the second floor is not open yet, and the colorful slide is being expanded. There are many animal specimens and beautiful and strange stones in the Stone Museum. The Manchu and Han banquet is very real. There are many plants in the study tour base, but it's too hot. You can also read. When you were sitting on the swing, the one who watered the grass sprayed over. The lake opposite the scenic area is also very beautiful. In short, it's not bad and I recommend it.

Shizuishan Museum is divided into an introductory hall, three special exhibition halls and three basic exhibition halls; the paleontological fossil exhibition hall uses modern means such as sound, light and electricity to show the ancient life evolution and primitive environment of Shizuishan; the rock painting exhibition hall uses a large number of rock painting objects, landscapes, rubbings, etc. to show the mysterious and unique charm of the Helan Mountain rock paintings. The magical and strange rock painting symbols take you through space, into the prehistoric world, and feel the nomadic life of ancient ancestors; the history exhibition hall uses cultural relics, pictures, and landscape lights to show the historical civilization of Shizuishan from the Neolithic Age to the present; the folk custom exhibition hall restores the scenes of the north and south streets of the ancient city of Pingluo during the Republic of China period to show the folk customs of Shizuishan such as architecture, festivals, etiquette, religion, and folk art; the industrial exhibition hall uses a large number of historical and cultural materials and exhibits to showcase the vicissitudes of Shizuishan's industry from the coal mining industry to the new industrial city; the farming exhibition hall uses various agricultural tools, pictures, landscapes, etc. to show the development process of Shizuishan from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture.

I think it's worth a visit for those who like deserts. I've lived in Wuhai for several years but never officially visited. But this trip was quite breathtaking. It's probably even more beautiful in summer. Overall, the experience was alright.

In short, if you come to Yinchuan and don't visit this place, you completely misunderstand tourism and vacation! The entire tour is guided by a professional, and the tasting of three wines costs less than 100 yuan (Mountain Soul usually sells for 988 yuan a bottle, and it's the same wine as the famous DaDa). The whole environment and the wines are incredibly photogenic!

Upon arriving at the Yellow River area, we headed straight there. We wanted to try the famous "Flying Yellow River" (Yellow River Zipline). The package included a round-trip cable car ticket uphill, which was thoughtful, but it was incredibly crowded today. We queued for almost an hour, put on the ropes, and when it was our turn, we were told we couldn't wear glasses! My heart sank. But the ride itself was still exhilarating, and we were even able to ride back up – excellent value for money! Afterwards, we went sandboarding. No long queues! We found a less crowded, steep slope, sat firmly, gripped the board tightly, didn't brake, closed our eyes, and just went down. The sand was fine, the speed was fast, the wind was whistling, and landing with a mouthful of sand was still fun. Finally, a reminder: bring plenty of water, wear sunscreen, and be careful as dust easily gets into your phone in the sand. Put it in a sealed bag, and wash your face in the Yellow River afterwards – perfect!
