Ningxia Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Ningxia|Shahu, half desert and half seawater

Ningxia|Shahu, half desert and half seawater, is it worth going? Pros: 1. If you want to see a landscape of half desert and half seawater, come here. Sitting by the Shahu, you will feel like you are on the beach. You can go into the water, swim, play with water, it's quite suitable for family. 2. It's relatively close to Yinchuan, Shahu is in Dawukou District, Shizuishan City, about 50 kilometers from Yinchuan. You can buy round-trip sightseeing car plus ticket packages online, which is quite convenient. 3. There are all kinds of fun, like a mini version of Shapotou, you can ride camels, desert surfing, but because we were going to Shapotou the next day, we just enjoyed the scenery and didn't experience it. 4. When you get to Shahu, you will understand why Yinchuan is called 'Jiangnan on the border'. The lotus in Shahu, the pet paradise, Swan Island, feels like any park in Jiangnan. 5. The architecture of the tourist rest center on the island in the lake is very distinctive and photogenic. I was attracted by these photos at the beginning and decided to go to Shahu. Cons: 1. The sand in Shahu is still different from the real desert, not big enough. This is our feeling of going to Shahu before going to Shapotou. If you want to see the real desert, you have to go to Shapotou. 2. Although there is a sightseeing car, you still have to walk a lot to take a boat to the island in the lake. The initial attractions are a bit chicken ribs for people from the south. 3. The boat dock from the island in the lake back to the shore is really too far away. The design of the entire scenic area is not to let you go back, you must pass every point to go back, it's very tiring. No wonder the ticket office at the entrance said that you can't get out without spending 4 to 5 hours. Conclusion: If you have time, it is recommended to go to Zhongwei Shapotou, if you don't want to go too far and rush, Shahu is also worth playing.

Shahu: The long yellow sand skyline exhibition, the majestic and endless extension has not been to Ningxia, but I have always heard that it is stuffed with Jiangnan. I grew up in Jiangnan, I am very curious, what kind of party is there? Heaven and earth, when I walked into the sand lake, I suddenly realized that another Jiangnan water town leaped into the eye. What is even more amazing is that there is still half of the water and half of the magical land of sand. Shahu The scenic area is very large, but if you want to come to the desert, you need to take a ferry boat. When I was used to the water town, I naturally couldnt wait to run to the desert. When I saw the camel army again, I was happy like a child. Here you can ride a camel, camp, sand, or take a hot air balloon. The game is colorful, even in the hot summer days, you can't stop everyone's yearning for the sand project. This is the second time I have come to the desert, standing in the desert, the long yellow sand skyline exhibition, the majestic and endless extension, will still be shocked by it. Although it is very dry, it is necessary to take pictures. The big scarf that was originally used for sun protection is just a prop. After all, the sand is too hot, and there is no courage to sit up directly. Red skirt is the standard of the desert, the color in the middle rule, many girls will choose the color, so in order to avoid hitting the shirt, it is necessary to spend a little thought on the style, like this skirt is a hollow pattern, Irregular skirt. In addition to planning your own trip before the trip, clothing and accessories also need to be prepared in advance. Noon sun is too strong, in fact, it is not suitable for portraits, but in many cases time is more urgent, can only be quick and accurate, with high temperature exposure, quick fix, it is recommended not to pose, let the photographer capture and then Delete the scrap. Who can extract the water from the south of the Yangtze River? Watching the migratory birds fly on the long yellow sand, listening to the camel in the clumps of reeds, the graceful mood is really dreamlike.

There is a place at the southernmost tip of Ningxia. It is mild and humid all year round, rich in water resources, dense in forests and grasses, and has a forest coverage rate of more than 80%. It is called a green island on the Loess Plateau. There are mountains and waters here. However, it is like Jiangnan. This is the Liupanshan Forest Park in Guyuan, Ningxia. Liupanshan National Forest Park is located in the south of Ningxia. The annual average temperature is only 5.8 °C. Therefore, there has always been a saying that spring is coming to autumn without summer, and it has become the average relative humidity of 60-70% of the summer paradise for many people. It is an important water conservation forest base in the northwest. Xiaonanchuan is the main scenic spot in Liupanshan Forest Park. Because Sichuan is also known as the river, it is also known as Xiaonan River. It is a pure natural landscape composed of a 3km long canyon. It is the ten most beautiful canyon in China. one. The first time I enter Xiaonanchuan, I strongly recommend that you choose to go down the waterway to enjoy the hydrophilic journey. The beauty of the day is beautiful. The day I came to Xiaonanchuan is sunny, and the sun shines into the valley to form the wonderful Dingdal. Light (cum Jesus light), the warm sun shines through the leaves, and looking up is beautiful. Xiaonanchuan's negative oxygen ion content has reached 40,000 cubic meters. It is called Tianyang Oxygen Bar. If you are here for the first time, you only need to breathe in a big mouth. Along the way, there are sounds of flowing water everywhere. When the water is clear, there are countless pebbles in the river. The road is full of dead branches and leaves. When there are not many tourists, you can enjoy the beauty of the road. Xiaonanchuan has a comfortable temperature, is a natural summer resort, and there are clusters of green trees on both sides of the canyon. It is also a great place to take pictures. There are so many small waterfalls along the way, just a big shot. Walking on the leaves falling in the wind, listening to the sound of flowing water, a glimpse of the relaxed and elegant appearance of Xiao Nanchuan. Along the way, you can see a lot of plants on the road. The good ecological environment, the rich flora and fauna and insect resources and the profound historical and cultural heritage make it known as the green pearl on the Loess Plateau and the cool and win-win environment. The canyon is not long and will soon be able to reach the end. At the end of the Xiaonanchuan Gorge is the natural waterfall of Xiaonanchuan, which is known as the Dragon Girl Bathing. The waterfall of the natural water flow is rushing down, and the spray beads are splashed with jade, and the water splashes, which is very spectacular. After finishing the Xiaonanchuan Gorge, you will embark on the road of returning. If you are not in a hurry, it is recommended not to take a ferry. You can follow the road to the towering larch, all the way is flat and very good. The sky is high and the air is fresh. It is far away from the reinforced concrete land of the city. One person is immersed in the wilderness of the virgin forest. The sun shines through the treetops. It is very artistic, like Alice in Wonderland, water has water. The tenderness of the mountain, the mountain has the rigidity of the mountain, and the combination of mountains and rivers complements each other in Xiaonanchuan. Since the reconstruction of Jiuzhaigou disaster, people have lost a place of water. If you like this landscape, this autumn, it is a good choice to visit Liupanshan Forest Park.

Desert Travel Destination Recommendation | Zhongwei Shapotou

Zhongwei Shapotou.【Opening】: For playing with sand, choose Shapotou Tourist Area·Zhongwei, with its high-altitude sand sliding, zip-lining over the Yellow River, and camel riding in the desert. Every trip to the desert feels surreal, with no one around, endless expanses, and the wind whipping up a sky full of sand, making you feel small but your heart grow larger. Perhaps this is the charm of desert travel. 【Lazy Route】: After entering the scenic area, first take the sightseeing bus, then play on the zip line over the Yellow River back and forth, and finally take the cable car to the top of Shapotou for a grand panorama. It's recommended to first take the sightseeing bus to see the desert, ride camels, and drive off-road vehicles. When returning to Shapotou, you can slide down the sand and take a sheepskin raft down the Yellow River back to the entrance of the scenic area. 【Recommended Projects】: 1. Yellow River Zip Line Very thrilling, the heavier you are, the faster you slide. Flying over the Yellow River still feels vast. The round trip has different elevations, and it looks dangerous but is actually very safe. 2. Hundred Meter Sand Slide Probably one of the steepest sand slides I've seen in China, even more fun than those in Dunhuang. It always feels like it's going to flip, but it seems it never does, which is quite amazing. 3. Camel Riding Got on a camel just before it was time for them to go home for dinner. The camels seemed eager to get home, moving quite fast haha, the up and down bumps were so comfortable I almost fell asleep. 4. Sheepskin Raft An ancient water transport on the western Yellow River, you can directly experience the ups and downs of the river's current. I've also taken one in Lanzhou before, it feels very historical. 【Accommodation Strategy】: We chose the Zhongwei Desert Longmen Inn, with a standard room for one night at 686 yuan. The hotel staff were very responsible, the breakfast was surprisingly good, the public restrooms were also very clean, not crowded at all, and the value for money was high. 【Travel Strategy】: 1. Location: Shapotou Tourist Area·Zhongwei Parking Lot; 2. Transportation: Self-driving is convenient, but be careful on the highway as there are many trucks; there are also trains to Zhongwei Shapotou which are quite convenient; 3. Tickets: It is recommended to buy the 399 yuan package ticket, which is more cost-effective and includes all the projects; 4. Time: You can play for a day, sand sliding projects require queuing, so it's advised to come early in the morning; 5. Food: We ate at the service area on our self-drive trip, and there are simple meals and snacks in the scenic area; 6. Toilets: Very convenient in the scenic area. 【tips】: 1. It's very sunny, so apply plenty of sunscreen, and don't forget cool sunglasses and a hat; 2. Bringing holey sandals was a wise choice, no need to shake out the sand; 3. Always keep hydrated and replenish energy; 4. Listen to the guides for the activities, playing around on your own could be dangerous.

The long desert star river is eternal, life is romantic, living with you

🚗 Life is short, if you have seen mountains and rivers, lakes and seas, then try to go to the desert once, see the golden sand sea, the huge camel group, and the rare oasis, it will make your heart stay~ Feel comfortable 👭 🏃‍♂️The wild wind of the northwest will always blow to every freedom-loving person. The daytime is as passionate as 40 degrees, and the night is as gentle as jade 20 degrees, this is the Tengger Desert. 🌟The endless desert is endless. 🧚🏼Away from the city, find the most free self. 👍Here, there is no trouble, it is really relaxing. 👌Features: Camels, beer, barbecue fireworks 🎆Mountain bike sand sliding 1️⃣Everything in the desert is very complete and sufficient, and you can also bring some food in for barbecue, braised dishes, water, etc. There are usually mineral water, beer and peanuts, melon seeds and the like at the campsite, but they all charge. This place is not as desolate as imagined, and everything you want is available. 2️⃣It is recommended to wear a storm jacket, windproof, it is more appropriate to get up at night to see the stars. You can wear some ethnic style skirts and western cowboy style for taking pictures, they are all super out of the picture. 😄 3️⃣Just bring a pair of slippers, soft sand, you won't want to wear shoes, slippers are the most convenient choice. 🎀 🐭If you are lucky, you can see the small sand rats in the desert. They are super cute, but unfortunately we didn't have time to take pictures and they ran away early. 4️⃣Yellow River Inn Collection 💓💓 Route 66 Stay at the of the Yellow River Inn Collection, The environment, service, and decoration style are all very good, and each room has its own characteristics. The breakfast at the Yellow River Inn Collection is served at the 'Guest' and 'Old Wang Ji Breakfast Shop', which are all buffet style and different, and I love Old Wang Ji more! 🎉Checked in the coffee of the "Zhongwei" logo Daler Wild, the park is designed by a designer, each homestay is different, the boss will have differences after contracting the interior decoration, but the style outside the park is consistent and very healing! 🚗I chartered a car to that day. It is recommended to go to to play the project first, and then go to Route 66, but Shapotou is really hot! When I went there, it was summer vacation, the sun was scorching, so I was very Buddhist, because I had seen the Tengger Desert and experienced the desert project, so I didn't go to Shapotou. I went to Route 66 at 3 o'clock, standing on the hills on both sides, I saw the entire Danxia landform. I returned to the Yellow River Inn Collection at night, and I could sit in the small courtyard, make a pot of canned tea, and look at the stars all over the sky, feeling like a paradise! 5️⃣Yirong Yun Hotel The next day we returned to the city and checked into a hotel in the city center. The parking lot was very large and spacious, parking was very convenient, and the security uncle was very good, helping us with our luggage, and the front desk lady enthusiastically helped us check in. The bathroom in the room is dry and wet separated, and the bedding is also very clean. After putting away the luggage, we are going out for dinner. 💗💗The overall journey is very happy, although the body is a bit tired but the soul is unprecedentedly relaxed! Sisters come to the northwest! If you come, you will regret it for a week, if you don't come, you will regret it for a lifetime!!

I recommend to rent a car or a driver. Otherwise, you can also book a tour. 🏜️ Enjoying sunrise or sunset from a local guesthouse 🏜️ Ride a motorbike into the dessert 🏜️ Enjoy a Mongolian homestay 🏴 Easy accessable from Zhongwei, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. As mentioned above, car/taxi/tour... If you have a car you can just drive towards the dessert. You will find some guesthouse for sure. The dessert itself is actually in Inner Mongolia, but all the closeby cities are in Ningxia. Have fun and stay safe! Enjoy! #dessert #mongolia #northwestchina #summervacation

In the distant Gansu, the most impressive impression is the slightly deserted Gobi Desert in the northwest. Although, I can't say exactly what the Gobi Desert and the Gobi Desert really look like. Just came to Gansu to start from Lanzhou, and showed me a colorful Gansu, because Gansu's geographical span is large, it is actually richer than I expected. This trip will not go too far into the conventional scenic spot, another kind goes deep into Gansu, but today there is still a chance to have a quick contact with the Tengger Desert.
