Two years ago, there are plans to Yinchuan, the year 51 has been realized. Mind somewhat excited. There Shui in Yinchuan, forming several friends, a very warm hospitality we live in their homes. Eliminating the need to find hotels of the troubles and expenses.
First day:
Beijing - Yinchuan: K43, 11:42 open, hard sleeper 188 fare. (You can also block K177 times, almost the length of time, but the fare to your 80 money)
The next day:
As early as 8:00 arrived in Yinchuan, to a friend's house. At noon to the South Gate of a Muslim mosque next to the restaurant to eat lamb clutch. (Taste very good) after a meal visited the South Gate mosque, fares 8. The monastery was rebuilt in 1981, the temple building is the largest hall of worship. When we went to worship someone, but visitors can not enter the hall, especially women. Can only be found lying on the window panes on the look. After going out that: Even the mosque had never seen, and no need to buy a ticket to visit, take a look at the door up and then according to photos.
Then went to the Ningxia Museum, tickets 2 yuan. Museums, including Cheng Tiansi towers (the fares by 5 million) and Western Xia heritage collection on display. Cheng Tiansi tower was also rebuilt after the Cultural Revolution, the tower a small lot, Tarifa original statues have no trace. The process of climbing the tower can not help think of Journey to the West in the sweeping tower Tang Seng monster hit. The tower is also really no need to spend money climb it.
At night to eat the lamb strings than delicious I do not know how many times in Beijing. (Eaten mutton string, Qinghai, Xi'an is also good to eat)
The next day:
Today's plan is to Shapotou. There is a local breakfast: eggs, pie filling, bake a good cake torn into a mouth filling into the egg, then bake until brown both sides, brush on the sauce, very delicious.
Coach Station to the south gate of the coaches have to Zhongwei, slow train takes about 4 hours. Express more than two hours on to (but only a day trip), fares 22 per. (51, 11 will have direct access to the tourist train at 6 o'clock start, tickets 14 yuan). After that they fell to a defender to get to the Shapotou car trip, the time will take 40 minutes, 3.5 per fare. The weather is not too good, windy. Out of the car feels like a dust storm in Beijing - on the ground, blew his face are yellow sand. Shapotou tickets 30 yuan, a door to see a big slope - the slope of sand composition. Gradient at the base of the Yellow River. Can play in this sand-boarding (15 million), although the slope is large, but the speed is not too fast, so do not play when you pull the brakes, there is no impact on flu, boring. Have not heard of attractions introduced the "Sharper ring the bell." Other entertainment are speedboats, sheepskin rafts rafting, camel. They all came to the poor camel looks, there is no one hair is complete, so we do not have to ride them. The other side of the railway at the door is a newly developed tourist attractions, tourist map is marked on the Tengger Desert, because time did not go, do not know the other side of the desert is not the kind of imagined endless, rolling sand dunes.
Back to the Yinchuan City has more than 20:00, and like the song to sing: with a pocket full of sand to see you. Can be more than full pockets, was covered in sand. Also Chi Yang chicken. There are many varieties of local pasta: bashfulness sub-surface, green noodles, small pulling face ... .. side somersault, a large amount of Sauvignon.
The third day of rain from midnight on the next up, gloomy days, there is no meaning to stop. Originally planned to go today, Shahu, Helan Mountain rock art, Western Xia Mausoleum. Helpless, everyone look at Crayon Shinchan. Watching the rain seemed to smaller points, is determined to Shahu. A friend borrowed a car starting. Do not buy eggs filling cakes tasted fennel cakes, cake where you can Jiacai, the taste is not bad.
The rain opened more than two hours, reached its destination. Although the rain, visitors quite a bit. Sand Lake tickets 30 yuan. After the need for a boat to reach the other side into the desert. Tickets 25. As the season is early, just a long out of the lake's reed. If the weather is good, you can take boat to Bird Island. Has been pouring wet in the desert looks like a big construction site, what do you play can not. Nor do I feel lake sand color. Sand Lake Village production Pantou Yu, big fish head looks no appetite, the price is not cheap, the minimum should be 120. But friends will want us to try, is said to delicious, nutritious. But I do not think that the head of Beijing delicious hotpot.
Canceled plans to go to other attractions, go home to continue to look at Crayon Shinchan. Yuba discovered new features: You can dry wet sneakers to.
On the fourth day due to booked the train back to Beijing tomorrow, today, must seize the opportunity to Helan Mountains, rock art, movie, Western Xia Mausoleum. In addition to outside with the group, to these local needs chartered at a cost about 200 or so. Since the investigation did not clear, and we sit at the south gate of the long-distance stations in the Helan Mountain Forest Park coach fares 20. The results showed that not where we are going, so get off at the Forest Park ticket office, stopped a taxi, tell a good price: first go to Helan Mountains, rock art, Zaiqu movie, and Western Xia Imperial Tombs, finally back to Yinchuan, a total of 90.
Helan Mountain rock paintings Tickets 20. Many local people do not know Helan Mountain rock art of this attraction, it was found to go to the travel no more than 50 people. Also do not see how the tourist season. The mountains is very quiet, a stream associated with the road into the mountains. On the road was covered with large and small purple stone. Most notably in the rocks on both sides of the ancient human beings to leave information. Each of the rock paintings found in a clearer, we will be very excited. If you have time to go it delves into the mountains should be able to see more rock art. In the mountains picking a piece of dark gray stone, I am convinced that it is the Helan stone.
Not originally planned movie (tickets 30 yuan), because the structures are artificial landscape, no meaning. Went to find that the great variety of the scene was very lively, and in this is to keep the camera.
Western Xia Imperial Tombs (tickets 30 yuan) with the words of the locals described: that of several soil bags. When I was in that feeling that they describe is really very appropriate. Wax Museum and the Museum along with guides to listen to the introduction is still relatively interesting, but also a miniature of Tallinn, including the local famous tower, no longer ran about busily to see them. Souvenirs are sold at the door, kiosks, there is an exclusive production of the Helan stone pendant and a chop. Ningxia Helan stone is one of five treasures, mostly by black and cyan ink composition. Prices were based on a natural rock formation to a few images from 3 yuan per month. Bought some to give to friends and themselves.
The fifth day of sleep a small Lanjue. To go shopping, buy some local product: Elaeagnus angustifolia; Gaiwan Cha; wolfberry. There is also a ice white wine grape is ice, no ordinary Gan white sour, very good to drink.
Lunch to eat sheep, pulling the neck and the small side. Take the afternoon k178 views 3:44 train back to Beijing.
