136***91The entrance fee plus the sightseeing bus cost 68 yuan, and parking was 3 yuan. It took most of the day to fully explore the area, but I didn't visit Xiangguo Temple or Taohuayu. I felt the Xumishan Giant Buddha was even more impressive than the Yungang Grottoes and Luoyang Grottoes. The climb to the Xumishan Zisun Palace was steep, requiring a near-vertical climb using iron chains.

M43***56This is fun and very safe. The masters of the sheepskin rafts No. 65 and 66 that we took were very nice and sang local folk songs for us. Shapotou, Ningxia is worth visiting.

M56***56Traveling day and night, covering thousands of miles, we arrived at Shapotou Scenic Area, where we experienced the majestic and desolate desert, enjoyed the fun of sandboarding, and gazed at the long river, finally fulfilling our long-cherished wish! The scenic area was clean and hygienic, with no unpleasant odors in the restrooms!

云朵上的喵Because of the rain, the booked Shuidonggou Scenic Area was temporarily closed, so we changed it to Qingtongxia Scenic Area. The itinerary was quite good; we took a boat, went rafting on sheepskin rafts, and experienced the 108 Pagodas. Finally, we took a large truck to ferry us out.

Anonymous userShapotou was amazing! Our tour guide, Xiao Zhou, was incredibly attentive and warm! The itinerary was well-planned. He even sang Ningxia's "Hua'er" (a traditional Chinese opera) for us, told jokes and performed clappers, and had us laughing all the way. It made our desert trip incredibly fun. I'll definitely be back next time!

吃桃的兔兔子Zhongwei Highway 66 is located in Shapotou District, Zhongwei City, Ningxia. On the road from the city to the ancient village of South Long Beach or North Long Beach, this rural road is passing by the Yellow River because it has to pass through the rolling valley. Some places have straight roads that extend to a distance and can't see the end. Known as Zhongwei Highway 66. The total length is about 38 kilometers, the width is about meters, and the sea dials about 1600. Highway 66 is the net red attraction that Zhongwei has to go to.
4.2/5Anonymous userThe scenery is quite nice, especially the area near the entrance. It's a bit chilly now that the weather is cold, and the wind is a bit chilly. There are fewer tourists, and the entrance fee and desert attractions are cheaper than Shapotou. Transportation is not very convenient for individual tourists, so you have to take a taxi.

M23***10The desert is also a witness to history. Ancient caravans once left their mark on this land, leaving behind the sound of camel bells. Here, the exchange between Eastern and Western civilizations quietly took place. The ruins of ancient cities, half-buried by the wind and sand, silently tell of past glories and declines, inspiring a reverie, as if one can hear the echoes of history resonating in the vast desert. Every desert journey is a spiritual revelation. Here, people learn to revere nature, understand the fragility and resilience of life, and cherish everything they encounter. The desert, in its own unique way, teaches us resilience, optimism, and hope. In this seemingly desolate land, life, in its most primitive form, displays its indomitable strength, reminding us that no matter how harsh the environment, life can always flourish, and hope always awaits. The desert, this mysterious and enchanting land, with its endless winds and sands, brilliant starry skies, tenacious life, and rich historical stories, attracts countless travelers to explore and find their own personal touch. Here, everyone can find their own answers about life, courage and dreams.
4.6/5M23***30A 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.

RejectorThe 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.
