Yinchuan, the 'Jiangnan of Saishang' 4-Day Leisurely Travel Guide: The Magic of Desert and Lakes

Yinchuan, the 'Jiangnan of Saishang' 4-Day Leisurely Travel Guide ✨ The magical combination of desert and lakes is astonishing! Day 1: 📍Zhenbeibu Western Film City: Every casual shot looks like a blockbuster Western movie; a must-visit filming location for "A Chinese Odyssey". 📍Helan Mountain Rock Paintings: See the mysterious symbols left by ancient people on the cliffs thousands of years ago (suggest wearing comfortable sports shoes). Day 2: 📍Shahu Lake: A wonder of half desert, half lake! Super pleasant to explore by boat. 📍Western Xia Imperial Tombs: Explore the mysterious ruins of the Western Xia Dynasty; the evening light is perfect for photos. Day 3: 📍Shuidonggou Site: The Hidden Soldier Cave is super exciting, you must experience the desert surfing vehicle! 📍Huaiyuan Night Market: Locals' favorite night market; Spicy HuHu and lamb skewers are so fragrant they'll make your mouth water. Helpful Tips: 1. Yinchuan has a large temperature difference between day and night, remember to bring a jacket. 2. For desert activities, remember to wear sunglasses and a face towel. 3. Attractions are far apart, chartering a car is more convenient. Must-Try Foods: ✅Hand-Grabbed Lamb (recommended Guoqiang Hand-Grabbed Lamb) ✅Spicy HuHu (any stall at Huaiyuan Night Market is delicious) ✅Eight-Treasure Tea (super refreshing with lamb)
