What are the interesting places in Yinchuan 20 18

Yinchuan is a very famous city. This small series wants to tell you about Yinchuan. Friends who want to visit Yinchuan can go with Bian Xiao.

What's interesting in Yinchuan? Yinchuan, a northwest city that I have only heard of and never met. The afternoon before yesterday, we flew away, and along the way, we saw a large semi-desert area. It can be seen that in order to control sandstorms, local people did not find jobs. Plants with short but evenly arranged leaves are proof of this. My husband said it was a unique plant in the desert, Hippophae rhamnoides. Who knows, he sometimes deliberately fooled me.

Along the way, I also saw many power plants. In the vast semi-desert area, the white smoke from tall chimneys adds to the desolate beauty of the northwest. Along the way, for the first time, I found neatly arranged wire towers and criss-crossing wires, which is also a beautiful scenery.

In a word, the northwest is desolate, but with the approach of the Yellow River, large oases appear in front of us. The green eyes are full of vitality, especially the mirror-like fish ponds in the Yellow River wetland, lotus leaves in ponds and fields, and patches of green rice. The clear water of the Yellow River is in sharp contrast with the desolation in the northwest, which makes people mistakenly think that they have entered the beautiful south of the Yangtze River. Also, maybe Yinchuan has a higher altitude. I always feel that the clouds are overhead and the blue sky is within reach.

It was already evening when we stayed in Yinchuan, but we never happened to meet Yinchuan. After putting down our luggage, we still can't wait to go out for a walk.

Walking in the streets and alleys of Yinchuan, we still rationally choose the lots that we think are prosperous and have been walking towards the lots with better lighting. Generally speaking, Yinchuan is not as old, prosperous and narrow as Xi 'an. In the shade, or ordinary people lie or sit by the cattail leaf fan, it gives people the impression that life is very contented and leisurely. Rows of stalls selling clothes are neatly arranged in the center of the square. Bosses play with their mobile phones freely, and people walking around casually, looking at this coat and pulling that skirt. In short, all people feel so relaxed, quiet and comfortable. Especially those open-air karaoke booths in front of Little Tiananmen Square are even a little too capricious. There are six or seven stalls around a small circular platform, but the people who shout songs have never been influenced by others to sing heartily and emotionally. All this reminds me of the plants and animals that grow freely in her back garden in Xiao Hong's Biography of Hulan River.

On the east side of the square, there is a barbecue selling night market, which is palm reading and selling bits and pieces. In my opinion, there is even a small vendor selling Bodhi. Customers can choose a bodhi. He is responsible for opening it, polishing the bodhi inside into a beautiful image, and then stringing the beads together with silk thread as a necklace. Originally thought, in the streets of Yinchuan, most of them would be Hui people wearing white hats. I don't want to see Hui people, and I seldom see them. The only thing I met was a handsome Hui guy with heavy eyebrows and dark hair. He looks very handsome. Later, I saw the outline of a temple in the twilight.

The tomb of Xixia is the first stop of our trip to Yinchuan. Xixia Mausoleum, also known as the Emperor Mausoleum of Xixia and the Imperial Mausoleum of Xixia, is the imperial and royal mausoleum of Xixia, and is known as "the pyramid of China" and "the mystery of history".

The tomb is located in the west of Yinchuan City, Ningxia, bordering Helan Mountain in the west and Yinchuan Plain in the east. It is one of the largest royal cemeteries in China, with the most complete ground site and the largest existing Xixia cultural site. Friends from the same trade have always joked that Emperor Xixia took a fancy to a treasure trove of geomantic omen with Helan Mountain as the head and the Yellow River as the foot. Although these tombs are the largest existing Xixia cultural sites, compared with the original appearance, the Xixia Mausoleum is definitely beyond recognition, leaving only bones and muscles, but fortunately her soul is still there. During the whole visit, we can only make a reasonable and rich imagination in the face of a pure earth broken walls or a giant earth mausoleum according to the contents of intelligent explanation, so as to restore a grand and large-scale ancient cemetery in our minds. According to historical records, many precious cultural relics of these tombs were stolen abroad by a foreigner at the beginning of the twentieth century. All we can see in the exhibition hall now are pictures of cultural relics. This is really a great loss for a country.

These tombs were named 1, 2, and 3, and the national key development was 3, so we mainly visited 3. In fact, what shocked me most was "the feeling of Chinese pyramids". Unfortunately, what it presents us now is only a big bare top, and we can't see the slightest feeling of resplendence. Fortunately, the sense of majesty is still there, adding a different kind of desolate beauty to the desolate western regions.

Husha Lake is the second stop of our trip to Yinchuan. Husha Lake is located in the northeast of Yinchuan City. We got there from Xixia mausoleum. Return to Yinchuan Ring Expressway on the way, and then drive northeast.

These days, the weather is very strong, cloudy and not very hot in dog days, which is most suitable for traveling, so I feel very comfortable all the way.

When you arrive at Husha Lake, the first thing you see is the open water and reeds, big or small. After taking a big boat, you can have a close contact with the lake and reeds. The lake is clear, white and green, and the reeds are green, reflecting the water surface, as well as the waterfowl flying in the sky and the leisurely wild ducks on the lake that day, showing the harmonious beauty of nature to the fullest. However, I feel that the water and reeds in Husha Lake are not as spectacular as Baiyangdian Lake, and they also lack the set-off of lotus flowers.

What opened my eyes was that the small desert on the small island in the lake formed three or five small sand dunes. I've never seen so much sand, so I think it's worth visiting. Although I long for the endless desert, I understand it as the concentration of the desert. Children can't move their feet when they see sand, and soon they begin to play with sand by themselves. It is more difficult to walk in the desert. Every step is much harder than on the flat ground. The child is still good at thinking. She told me that it was easier to follow in others' footsteps. Therefore, it is relatively easy for us to walk all the way. In the desert, there are camel teams for tourists to experience, which also gives me the opportunity to get in close contact with so many camels for the first time in my life. Those timid tourists, when they get off the camel, always scream at the moment when the camel kneels, for fear that the camel will fall down. But according to my observation, these camels are very docile and always slow. They kneel on their first two legs and then on their last two legs, so that tourists can get down from the middle of the hump steadily. I didn't photograph camels. Like a professional photographer, I was busy looking for the right angle, trying to photograph the desolation of a camel team in the desert. At this moment, it seems that the song "Camel Bell" has been echoing in my ears.

On the sand dunes, there is also a sand skiing amusement project, a special sand skiing car, which slides down from the sand dunes at almost 70-80 degrees. At first, I didn't have the courage. I was 40 years old and wanted to challenge myself and experience the feeling of gliding, so my heart was tangled, struggling and tumbling. However, the child is a newborn calf and is not afraid of anything. The first time she experienced it, I followed in her footsteps and enjoyed it beautifully. I still have a childlike innocence! On my way home, I finally saw a big pool of lotus flowers, swaying in the breeze.

When we went to Yinchuan, a little cousin reminded us that Helan Mountain was worth visiting, and it was best to go to Helan Mountain in the afternoon, so Helan Mountain became our must-see place.

In fact, Helan Mountain can be seen from far away in Xixia Mausoleum, but I am not satisfied because it is too far away, so I still want to have a close contact with Helan Mountain. My husband read my mind, so as soon as I left Husha Lake, I went to Helan Mountain and the rock paintings of Helan Mountain non-stop. Not far from Helan Mountain, there is a straight asphalt road gradually rising to the foot of the mountain. We thought we would reach the rock painting at the end of the road, but we didn't want to, so the car climbed to the end of the road and walked one or two kilometers east along the foot of the mountain. As the distance approaches, Helan Mountain is getting higher and higher before our eyes, fluctuating. The characteristics of Helan Mountain are unobstructed. The whole mountain system is dominated by rugged dark brown stones, and only one or two plants occasionally grow in the cracks of the stones, which is as old and vigorous as the whole mountain.

Arriving at the ticket office of Helan Mountain Rock Painting, it's past the off-duty time. Fortunately, the enthusiastic conductor still found us a young guide girl, led everyone into the hinterland of Helan Mountain, and explained to us the ancient rock paintings before the birth of those characters. Those rock paintings are simple in brushwork, but vivid. They feel like paintings we painted before we received any education when we were young, but primitive people must have painted things closely related to their lives, such as tall trees, such as houses with grass roofs, such as wolves and fish. The treasures of Zhenshan in rock paintings are portraits of the sun god, most of which are portraits of faces and handprints. In short, after several years, most of the rock paintings are still clearly visible. Looking at them, we seem to have crossed into the ancient farming era.

On Helan Mountain, there is also a beautiful scenery, that is, rock sheep. When we look at rock paintings, the first thing we see is a pair of rock sheep mother and son, whose fur color is exactly the same as that of Helan Mountain. This color is probably their best protective color, which can best reflect their adaptation to nature. Rock sheep's small hooves are very good at climbing peaks, always steep and capped, as high as kings, so most of the time, we can only see the silhouette of rock sheep. However, the ewe and son used to be so close to us that we could even see clearly that the ewe was breastfeeding. Some tourists can't help feeling that it is a miracle that such a small sheep can climb such a high mountain! Later, we also met some rock sheep. However, because their fur is the same color as rocks, it is difficult to be found. Every time it's a sharp-eyed child among tourists, we can find it at once. We can only follow their instructions to find it. The tour guide told us that these rock sheep like to go downhill in the morning and evening, so our time is right. Enjoy the Stone Mountain of Helan Mountain again. Its stones are gray and brown, one after another, forming a steep mountain peak. When the sun sets, it is covered with a layer of golden light, which is a bit resplendent.

In the evening, we drove back to Yulin, followed by thunderstorms. It was very cool at that time, and my trip to Yinchuan ended without any regrets.
