Tomb-Sweeping Day plans to spend three days in Shapotou, Zhongwei, Ningxia, seeking the arrangement of tourist routes.

Shapotou, as its name implies, is famous for its sand. Located in Zhongwei County, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, the desert dunes are about 1500m above sea level. Because Zhu Kezhen and others initiated the wind-proof and sand-fixing project with wheat straw squares here, and achieved remarkable results, baotou-lanzhou railway has been unimpeded for decades, plus the Yellow River ferry, the sand is soft and the wind is flat, and the oasis is terrible, making it the first national-level desert ecological nature reserve. 1994 was awarded the honorary title of "Global Top 500 Environmental Protection Unit" by the United Nations.

Mutton offal shuimian

After Zhongwei entered the winter, the old sheep collapsed and had the habit of fattening and slaughtering. At this time, there are a lot of sheep offal, and the price is cheap, but the cleaning and processing are more complicated, so there are special workshops to sell in the street. This is a delicious breakfast in winter. When you eat it with local yellow wine, you can not only be full, but also increase your body heat. It is characterized by rotten meat without fishy smell, and radish slices are added to the soup, which is fat but not greasy. You can soak it in steamed bread or mix it with noodles when you eat it.

Minced meat noodles

Noodles with minced meat is a traditional folk food, which is famous for its white, tough, red soup color, fresh color and delicious taste. Good minced meat noodles are characterized by "delicious noodles and soup", and smart women attach great importance to making noodles and soup. Good noodles are white, thin, finely cut, muscular and uninterrupted. Saozi soup is mainly made of meat, Chili oil, fresh vegetables, tofu and various seasonings. It looks very bright in color. Smell the fragrance.

Hunjiu snack meat

Stir-fried meat with mud wine and spicy oil when eating, diced sauerkraut in winter, boiled chopped green onion, and jiaozi. Tangyuan, rice wine and fresh mutton are integrated into one, with unique flavor, which not only satisfies hunger and satiety, but also drives away cold and keeps warm.

Steamed pigeon fish

Steamed pigeon fish. The food is white, and the fish is tender, light and delicious. Dove fish, also known as Tongyu, is a precious fish in Ningxia, mainly distributed in Zhongwei to Shizuishan Bay. It is named because it looks like a pigeon. The imperial courts of past dynasties set up "official fishing" in Zhongwei, and offered fish to Beijing on schedule for the emperor to eat.

Hard noodles and dry pancakes.

2 kg of dough, dry flour 10 kg, warm water with alkali, sesame oil with hard flour. Make a 1 double pot cake with a wooden mold, put it on the stove, dry it on low heat, turn it over and bake it. Beautiful and compact appearance, white but not brown, long-term storage without mildew, taste and hardening. It tastes crisp and sweet, chewy, rich in flour flavor, easy to digest and does not spoil the soup.

Fried pig offal

Steamed with fresh pig blood and glutinous rice for a long time. When you eat it, cut it into pieces and fry it in the pot with the braised pig head. The beige color is ruddy and shiny, and the fat permeates into the rice, so the amount of fat and thin is flexible, which satisfies the tastes of many customers. As soon as the food is cooked, it is instantly fried and steaming. It is the simplest meat fast food. A pig's dirty mouth is fat but not greasy. Chew carefully, with endless aftertaste. You can drink it when you eat it, or you can take it home and fry it.

Put it in a bowl, then stir the starch into a paste, add various seasonings and seasonal fresh vegetables, burn it into a fresh paste and pour it on it. It tastes sour and spicy, has unique flavor and low price, and is a favorite breakfast for the masses.

Assorted tofu

Yan has always made the most famous tofu, and now the operator is the second generation Yan Bingyi. The tender tofu made by his family's ancestral technology, after being fried, is swollen in shape, soft and hollow in skin and easy to taste, like gluten. With spinach, carrot slices and Chili oil, it is red, yellow and green, with good color and fragrance, suitable for all ages, and is the best-selling variety in vegetarian food. In recent years, his fried products have sold well in neighboring counties.

Facial flesh

Yan Mian Rub is a folk snack. The face is naked wheat noodles, and the finished product tastes flexible and chewy, hence the name. Now it is mostly used for serving cold dishes. The face is white and bright, thin and continuous, with flexible taste and exquisite ingredients. When eating, you can mix cooked leeks, cooked spinach, shredded garlic and other ingredients.

I hope I can help you and adopt it. Thank you.
