Memorable trip

At the end of this rainy day, we chose Husha Lake near Yinchuan, Ningxia, because the road is a little short and there is water, and the climate and scenery in Ningxia are good. I played with my son twenty years ago. Ningxia is called Jiangnan. This time it's special, bringing my eldest granddaughter, my two-year-old granddaughter and my whole family.

We just came to Lanzhou, and our eldest granddaughter clamored to see the sculpture of the Yellow River mother. As we arrived in Lanzhou late, we had to take our children to Dongfanghong Square to feed the pigeons for a while and stay at a Huimin hotel near East Station in the evening.

Get up at six o'clock the next morning, get on a long-distance bus going north to Ningxia at seven o'clock, pass through many uninhabited sand dune sections such as Gaolan, Baiyin, Minqin and Wuwei in Gansu, cross the border of Gansu and enter Ningxia or desolate hilly areas. After more than four hours of turbulence, I finally entered the Pingchuan grain-producing area of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and saw the wide Yellow River flowing slowly. The corn seedlings on both sides of the road are growing well, and the rice is light green and not high. After driving for a while, I saw the words Shapotou Scenic Area not far from the right side of the driveway, thinking that the destination might have arrived! As a result, the car has been running for about half an hour, right? We have entered the Tonghu grassland in southwest Inner Mongolia, and there are more and more small lakes. After getting off the bus and taking photos, the tour guide said that we were playing in Tengger Desert in Inner Mongolia today, and more than 60 people in our car suddenly boiled!

Next, the tour guide signs up for self-funded projects according to the age of the tourists, including horseback riding, camel riding, visiting the desert in sightseeing bus and watching Mongolian large-scale song and dance parties. Our family * * * paid 1630 yuan, and my husband and I were not allowed to take part in horse riding and other activities, so we had to take a trip to the desert in sightseeing bus, saving 100 yuan per person!

I heard that there are deserts in many places, but this is the first time I have seen them with my own eyes. I am so excited! Tengger Desert is located in the southwest of Alashan Zuo Qi in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the central border of Gansu Province, starting from the Great Wall in the south, Helan Mountain in the east and Laishan Mountain in Ya Bu in the west. It is 240 kilometers long from north to south and 160 kilometers wide from east to west, covering an area of about 43,000 square kilometers. It belongs to the fourth largest desert in China! Inland there are sand dunes, lake basins, grass beaches, mountains, residual hills and plains. There are 422 lake basins, half of which have accumulated water, which are residual lakes that have dried up or retreated. It is said that there are Populus euphratica forests in the desert, but unfortunately I only see small green plants. Several fake Populus euphratica trees are set up on the edge of the desert to welcome tourists coming and going. It is said that tourists will get lost when they walk into the desert, and they can't walk out for days and nights. When I was a student, I heard that scientist Peng went to the desert in Xinjiang to discuss the scientific research project of finding water. He left his team and never left the desert again, causing irreparable losses to the country and family. I am naive, but I dare not take risks! My husband and I took a jeep into the center of the desert, got off and climbed to the highest point on foot to take pictures of each other, and then lay on the top of the thin cotton dune for a while like children. Fortunately, it just rained, the sand was not very hot, and we enjoyed the scenery given by nature.

After getting off the sand dune, I got on the jeep and made a big circle around the sand slope behind me. I got off and went back to the original boarding point, and walked out of the desert by myself. After leaving the desert, I freely visited the ancient post station nearby. Hundreds of swallows nest on the beams of the house. Further down, we saw many modern yurts, which were not made of linoleum, but made of modern joinery boards: from a distance, they all looked very big, so I wanted to find out. I went into my bag and looked at it. Oh! It turns out that the small Mongolian yurt is a kitchen for Mongolian cooking, and the big bag next to it is a restaurant that can seat 80 tourists. For dinner, we are free to choose to pay for ourselves in yurts. I ate beef fried noodles, which was really delicious.

At about 7 o'clock after dinner, it was already very cold. I think Ningxia is much hotter than my hometown in Gansu, so I didn't bring any warm clothes when I went out. I'm already cold and sleepy, and I still have some time to go to the party. I'm afraid I'll catch a cold and get sick! My husband found and bought me and my granddaughter two cloaks made of wool to keep us out of the cold. The party program that day was really good. It is said that we caught up with the grand Eid al-Adha Festival in Mongolia that night, so the performance was more grand than usual. The program is characterized by the unrestrained enthusiasm of the Mongolian people. You can watch it for an hour before you know it. Excellent performances with national characteristics such as "Far Marriage" and "Wrestling" and knight's handstand acrobatics on horseback won the audience's prolonged applause. In the thick sound of fireworks, we withdrew from the ceremony. Tonight we are staying at the Grand Hotel on the grassland in Inner Mongolia.

After a night of rest and adjustment, it was just dawn. We left Tonghu Grassland in Inner Mongolia and went to Shapotou Scenic Area in Ningxia for sightseeing. After we followed the tour guide into the upper Yellow River scenic spot in Ningxia, it was also a free activity. Our family first bought tickets for the Yellow River Glass Bridge, and then experienced the pleasure of walking on the 3D glass bridge of the Yellow River! Standing on the bridge, I only feel the beautiful scenery of the wide Yellow River, and there are cruise ships and sheepskin rafts on the river. We simply played with the glass bridge, and my children and I took pictures while walking across the river. I didn't expect my two-year-old granddaughter to be really timid. When we came back, we went to Shapotou to play. The children climbed the mountain and slipped on the Shapotou, and laughter rang out. We adults visit the jujube garden, and the scenery here is also good.

At the third stop, we arrived at Husha Wind Scenic Area, where children dream and sleep. Husha Lake is located in the north of Ningxia, 56 kilometers away from Yinchuan, with a total area of 80. 10 square kilometers. Husha Lake takes the natural landscape as the main body, and organically combines sand, water, reeds, birds and mountains to form a unique and beautiful landscape. It is a "pearl on the fortress" that combines the beauty of Jiangnan and the beauty of the fortress. It has both the grandeur of Gobi and the beauty of Jiangnan water town, and is known as "a rare cultural tourist attraction in the world".

At 1999, Hu Sha can swim in the lake and ride a camel in the desert.

At that time, the Shahu Lake was very clear, with many birds and lush reeds, which was unforgettable.

Arrive in Yinchuan at the fourth stop, stay in a family hotel at night, and feel at home.

On the last day, I visited and studied three scenic spots, and it took me at least ten hours to get back to my hometown. I am naturally fond of traveling, but going out by bus is my biggest headache. Enjoy today's trip for the time being.

In the early morning, when the sun just emerged from Dongshan, we visited the largest Lycium barbarum garden in Ningxia under the guidance of a tour guide. In the Lycium barbarum jungle, you can see yellow Lycium barbarum seeds, and children are dancing happily in the fields! I took my eight-year-old granddaughter and my two-year-old granddaughter to pick Lycium barbarum in Ningxia and let them taste it. The little granddaughter is in a hurry to pick fruit and put it in her pocket, and the big granddaughter is clamoring to take pictures of her! After playing for a while, we went to taste Lycium barbarum tea, which naturally encouraged tourists to pay for finished Lycium barbarum! I symbolically bought several bags of Lycium barbarum candy for my granddaughters.

Then we went to visit Zhenbeibao Film and Television City. It is said that this is the birthplace of China films going abroad. It is Mr. Zhang Xianliang, a famous writer and film director in China, who carefully built an abandoned old fort and a herdsman's sheepfold into a location to shoot ancient dramas for tourists to visit and entertain! To tell the truth: I'm not interested in these man-made attractions. But when you get to this place, you have to go in with the flow and have a look.

The tour guide bought each of us a ticket of 100 yuan, limited to two hours. This time, I just don't accept money from people over 60, and I also enjoy the preferential policies of the state for the elderly! Outside the castle, there is a "Zhenbeibao Film and Television City" lying across the door. Mr. Zhang Xianliang's handwriting is eye-catching, so tourists naturally take pictures as a souvenir! My husband is a little-known scholar in his hometown, and he is interested in Zhang Xianliang's elaborate three-dimensional culture. So we took a lot of photos together in front of the cultural monument! When I walked in, I saw its amazing place. It is said that Zhenbeibao Film and Television City covers an area of 1000 mu. Zhenbeibao Film and Television City, located in Yinchuan, the capital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, is a national 5A-level tourist area integrating sightseeing, entertainment, leisure, catering and shopping. Known as "a must in China, the treasure of Ningxia", it was founded in 1993. Zhenbeibao Film and Television City is presented to our tourists with its quaint, primitive, rough, desolate and folk style. The main attractions are Mingcheng, Qingcheng and Yinchuan Street. It is one of the three major studios in China. It enjoys the reputation of "China movies go to the world from here".

On this trip, my husband was in high spirits, and our whole family went in for a careful visit. There are six soldiers in my family: my son and daughter-in-law take their little granddaughter to visit the castle and taste snacks; My husband and I took our eldest granddaughter to visit the Green Castle first. There are ancient manors carefully built by modern people in the fort. There are poor manors, rich manors, caves in northern Shaanxi, bandits' nests, examination rooms for the ancient people to take an examination of Zhuang Yuan, and a street selling snacks. Every manor is made lifelike! The feeling of being rich and poor, simple, primitive and desolate is quite strong. I was born in the fifties. I saw many such scenes when I was a child, and I felt shabby and nothing new. Seeing one strange manor after another, I am very happy with my eight-year-old granddaughter! First, she ran to the robber throne and asked me to take a picture of her. Then she took the rice on the kang (made of candles) into the hall of the rich man's manor, and then went to the young lady's wing of the rich man's house to take pictures as a married woman. Children are very interested in playing in such a strange environment! I think it's because she grew up in the city! I finally persuaded my husband and granddaughter out of the castle, and the trip to Qingcheng was over.

We went back to the front of the castle to discuss the problem of returning to the bus with our husband.

The last stop of this trip is the famous Helan Mountain Rock Painting Exhibition Hall. This is my favorite destination this time.

Because I have seen many writers introduce the grandeur and beauty of Helan Mountain in their works.

Arriving at the foot of Helan Mountain, the scenery is disappointing! There are not many trees and grass!

Climb up again, and you will reach the visit hall at the foot of the mountain. All you see are photographic rock paintings and a few real rock paintings. I think it may be something disgusting! The picture is like the face, snail, sun god, antelope and other animals painted by kindergarten children. I thought to myself, this painting is so boring! Maybe because I'm an amateur.

We appreciate these ancient rock paintings of Helan Mountain from an archaeologist's point of view: they really left a fortune to mankind. In the harsh living environment, they used stones instead of paper, chisels instead of pens, and recorded the production and life scenes at that time with various animal patterns and abstract symbols. These original materials are used by later generations to reveal the cultural connotation of the nature, reproduction, totem and ancestor worship of primitive tribes, and are cultural treasures and art galleries for archaeologists to study the artistic history of China people more than 3,000 years ago.

From this point of view: this trip is still full of gains. It is these childish, ridiculous and rough rock paintings seen by modern people that have become the precious history of "years are silent and stones can talk".

The trip left no regrets.

This is the end of my trip. I took my granddaughters to enjoy the holiday. My purpose is twofold: first, to encourage children to study hard and see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, unlike a well frog looking at the narrow sky; The second is to let children go out of the house from an early age, see more and listen more, and increase their perceptual knowledge!

Travel, see the wonderful world outside, understand the local customs, cultivate sentiment and increase knowledge.
