I went there because of the filming locations for "A Chinese Odyssey," fulfilling a childhood dream. Many scenes are still exactly the same. I owe Stephen Chow a movie ticket, hahaha. It was a great experience, and I'll definitely come again.

The scenery was quite unique, but the part at Tomb No. 4 on the tour bus involved a horse-drawn carriage ride. Honestly, after seeing the first two tombs, many people were a bit tired of Tomb No. 4, and didn't even get off the bus. The carriage ride itself was just so-so; you can skip it if you want.

A highly recommended attraction, rich in content and boasting spectacular scenery. The entrance begins with the World Rock Art Museum, where you can learn about the meaning of the rock paintings. Then, you take a sightseeing bus to the Helan Mountain Rock Art area. The bus is enclosed, so it's not cold. The Helan Mountains here are rocky mountains, majestic and precipitous. The rock art signs make them easy to find. We were even lucky enough to see a argali sheep! After viewing the rocks, take another sightseeing bus, a mere 3-minute ride, to the Han Meilin Art Museum. The Han Meilin Art Museum is also excellent, with exquisite sculptures and paintings.

A great place to see authentic archaeology. The Soldier Cave is highly recommended. Unfortunately, I missed the show due to lack of time. The camel ride was affordable. The so-called special transportation options, aside from the tractor, were just average. The museum and the Soldier Cave offer free guided tours, which was highly recommended.

Ningxia's two most famous mountains are the Helan Mountains in the northwest and the Liupan Mountains in the southeast. The Helan Mountains block wind and snow, creating a vast area of ​​wine grape cultivation on its eastern side—the largest in China—and Ningxia wines are gaining increasing fame and international acclaim. The mountains aren't difficult to climb, but they possess a distinctly Northwest character: deeper colors, steep cliffs, and tall, sparse trees, quite different from southern vegetation. Even in summer, climbing them isn't hot; a cool breeze makes it very comfortable. This pillar of the Northwest is truly remarkable.

I went to the hot springs again, this time with my parents. The hot spring environment is still very good, the water quality is good, the sand therapy is great, the privacy is good, the staff has a good service attitude and is kind. There is a staff member named Chen Shuxia who is very good. She took the initiative to help get towels and serve tea. She repeatedly reminded us to take our mobile phones and valuables with us and make sure they are waterproof. My parents were very satisfied with this hot spring trip

The tour guide Dopest was very professional. The two and a half hours were full of useful information. The explanation was lively and interesting. He was also very enthusiastic in interacting with the children. He also recommended local delicious and fun things to do.

I didn't make an appointment to go to the Ningxia Museum, so I made an appointment to go to the Geological Museum instead. There are three and a half floors, but only two floors can be visited. I think an hour is enough. There are many children on the first floor, which is quite noisy. However, many real objects in the Ningxia Museum are placed for close viewing, which is very good.

Visiting Yinchuan during the off-season is so great! Although there are fewer attractions than in the summer, it feels like having the whole place to yourself. You don't have to queue for any of them, making for a fantastic experience.

Longyu Winery, nestled at the foot of Helan Mountain, is an absolute gem for any Ningxia traveler! Every snapshot is a European-style masterpiece, making you feel like you've stepped into a European manor. The entire experience was a delightful surprise! A professional guide led us through the winery, from rows of aging oak barrels in the underground cellars to the century-old culture of the second-floor wine museum, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of wine. Even checking out our newest vintage wines felt like a special occasion. The tasting and souvenirs included in the ticket are incredibly good value. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Yinchuan!
