A perfect day! This one-day tour in Yinchuan, Ningxia was an absolutely amazing experience! Master Jiang drove a spacious and comfortable 7-seater business van, and each of us had our own seat. Along the way, we enjoyed the vast scenery outside the window, from the city to the Helan Mountain foothills. The journey itself was a pleasure. In the morning, we first visited the Helan Mountain Rock Paintings. Standing before those ancient totems carved into the rocks, it felt as if we could hear the echoes of people from thousands of years ago. The profound sense of history and mystery was overwhelming and truly impressive. The Western Film Studio of Zhenbeibu in the afternoon was simply so cool! As soon as we stepped in, it felt like we had traveled into a martial arts movie. The city gates where the Purple Fairy and Supreme Treasure once stood, the classic scenes from "A Chinese Odyssey"—every spot was thrilling. Since it was a small group, we could stroll slowly and take plenty of photos. Master Jiang was especially thoughtful in helping us find some rare, perfect photo spots that tourists seldom reach, and every photo turned out like a masterpiece! The final stop was the Western Xia Tombs, where a huge "Eastern Pyramid" stands on the vast Gobi Desert. The desolate, mysterious, and majestic sight can only be truly appreciated in person, marking an incredibly stunning end to the day’s itinerary! Master Jiang not only drove skillfully but also provided top-notch service, enthusiastically and attentively sharing stories about the Western Xia Dynasty and Helan Mountain like a friend. The whole trip was relaxed and enjoyable. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to deeply experience the history and vast beauty of Ningxia. This will definitely be my first choice for the next trip!
