Zhenbeibao, a unique wilderness film studio in China, differs from the imitation ancient architectural complexes of Hengdian and Wuxi. Its core charm lies in its original, rugged, desolate, and rustic loess landscape. Built on the ruins of two Ming and Qing dynasty border fortresses (Zhenbeibao), it became a pilgrimage site for film enthusiasts. Discovered and recommended to the film industry by Mr. Zhang Xianliang, it served as the filming location for numerous classic films, including Xie Jin's *The Herdsman*, Zhang Yimou's *Red Sorghum*, and the influential *A Chinese Odyssey*. The film studio is divided into three main areas: Ming City, Qing City, and Old Yinchuan Street. Visitors can see not only the original ancient castle walls but also numerous sets constructed for filming, such as the Moon Gate, a winery, the Bull Demon King's Palace, and the Spider Cave. Visitors can immerse themselves in these scenes, don costumes, and take photos, providing a highly immersive experience.

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.

As a local, I've never been there before and thought it was just a few earthen mounds. But after I went there, I found that it was indeed just a few earthen mounds, hahahaha. However, the museum is really well done and exceeded my expectations. The overall architectural style is very consistent with the Western Xia Royal Tombs and is very photogenic. The exhibits are also worth seeing. I recommend it.

Lanshan Park is undoubtedly the most popular tourist attraction in Yinchuan. The park features a large, shimmering lake. Beside the lake is a standard football field. Surrounding the field on three sides are tall stands. If that were all, it would just be a decent park. The most striking feature is the row of buildings atop the stands. These buildings are decorated in a classic European style. Those who watched Saint Seiya as children will remember the Zodiac Palaces; this architectural style is reminiscent of Greek mythology. Actually, this row of buildings has no practical significance; it's just a long corridor. The focus is on the design, but even that is enough to make it incredibly popular online. #FreePark #Yinchuan #Ningxia #Stadium #Park #CityPark #Stadium #WeekendGetaway #CaptureBeautifulMoments #NingxiaTourism

Nine tombs of the kings of Western Xia and more than 140 accompanying tombs with the remains of key members of the imperial family and aristocrats are located according to the contours of the terrain on an area of 50 km2 on the eastern side of Helan Shan. Each tomb was an independent architectural complex with an area of over 100,000 m2 with turrets, arches, stele pavilions, outer walls, inner cities, memorial halls, pagoda-shaped altars and walls for worship. Very interesting spot.
