Three-day tour of Yinchuan tourist attractions

Yinchuan is the capital city of Ningxia and an important city in the west. It is rich in natural resources, rich in human and historical elements, and has a unique northwest cultural spirit that has been passed down to this day. It is a very suitable place for traveling and vacationing. Here, I will share with you the detailed strategies.

Day 1: Western Film and Television City-Rock Painting of Helan Mountain-Xixia Mausoleum

The next day: Shapotou-Qingtongxia 108 Tower-Yellow River Grand Canyon

Day 3: Shahu-Shuidonggou

First stop western movie and television city

Many people have heard of Zhenbeibao Western Film and Television City, but most of them have never seen it on the spot. The Western Film and Television City is called "Oriental Hollywood" and has produced many excellent films that are famous at home and abroad.

The Western Film and Television City consists of streets of Ming City, Qing City and Old Yinchuan. Before the Western Film and Television City became a film and television city, Qing City was all a sheepfold, and the predecessor of the Film and Television City was composed of sheepfolds and castles.

Many movies and TV series have been shot here, and now there are still many movie sets, which is a good place to take pictures and punch in.

Student ID Ticket: 40 yuan

The second stop is the rock painting of Helan Mountain.

The rock painting scenic spot of Helan Mountain is a scenic spot that I want to push to everyone.

Helan Mountain is a place where ancient nomadic people thrive. They carved their daily lives on rocks for records.

Rock painting scenic spot is one of the must-see scenic spots in Ningxia, because with the wind, rain and sun, the traces on the rocks will gradually disappear, and it is really a matter of taking a look at it.

There is also the Han Meilin Art Museum in the rock painting scenic spot of Helan Mountain. Many people don't know who Han Meilin is. Han Meilin is the father of the Olympic Fuwa. It is said that the mascot of the Spring Festival Evening in the Year of the Monkey "Kangkang" is inspired by the most famous rock painting sun god in Helan Mountain. I suggest that you don't miss the Han Meilin Art Museum in the scenic spot when you have time.

The third stop is Xixia mausoleum

Xixia dynasty is a very mysterious existence. Although this country only existed for less than 200 years, it has its own writing and language, and even holds a place among several great powers in Mongolia, Northern Song Dynasty and Southern Song Dynasty.

The scenic spot of Xixia Mausoleum is relatively large. I suggest you go to the scenic spot museum first to learn about the history of Xixia Kingdom, and there are many cultural relics of Xixia Kingdom in the museum.

After visiting the museum, you can visit No.3 Mausoleum, the most famous and largest mausoleum in Xixia Mausoleum Scenic Area. When you visit No.3 Mausoleum, you will see a big thief pit. No.3 Mausoleum is also called Tailing Mausoleum, which is the mausoleum of Li Yuanhao, the founding emperor of Xixia, and the mausoleum here is relatively well preserved.

After visiting the No.3 Mausoleum, you should take the scenic spot car ferry to the No.1 Mausoleum and No.2 Mausoleum, which are the tombs of Li Yuanhao's father and grandfather respectively. These two mausoleums are slightly smaller than the No.3 Mausoleum, but they are also scenic spots that cannot be missed.
