Facing Helan Mountain, I feel like I'm staying at the top wild luxury hotel in the northwest! 🏔The scenery of the northwest is rugged and vast. The two adjacent points on the map actually take a long time to reach🚘When the outline of the Anmo Hotel gradually appeared, I felt more and more insignificant. Helan Mountain stood quietly in the distance, and the magnificence of the world unfolded before my eyes🌈 🏨The hotel is designed with a courtyard structure, integrating elements of mountains, sand, and fireplaces. The burgundy exterior wall is calm and atmospheric, and the overall atmosphere is as bold and exquisite as the word "wild luxury"🧐 🏠The deluxe view suite I stayed in this time is located on the second floor of a detached villa, with a distant view of Helan Mountain🏞 🏠The room is covered with wood decorations, exuding a high-end texture, and the soft light color scheme creates a warm atmosphere. The minibar is equipped with a coffee machine and TWG tea bags, and the details are full of luxury🐲The double basin design and the large round bathtub are more like a small private soup, with a unique style.🍀 🍱The "Shanhaitu" Chinese restaurant mainly serves northwest cuisine, and the hand-grabbed lamb head and taro bowl steamed lamb are particularly outstanding, with a fresh and rich flavor. Although the "Xixi" all-day dining restaurant does not have many varieties, it is complete and sufficient to meet the needs👍 🏨The hotel's indoor constant temperature swimming pool is magnificent, and like the lobby bar, it has a distant view of Helan Mountain. The starry sky design above the swimming pool is dreamy and charming💕 🏨Anmo Hotel stands quietly at the foot of Helan Mountain, entertaining travelers from all over the world👨‍👩‍👧‍👦It contains the essence of national and oriental culture, and also shows the international and future demeanor. Like a bottle of fine wine, after years of brewing, I believe that the brilliance of Anmo Hotel will become more and more brilliant in the years⭐️

Yinchuan Helan Mountain Anmo Hotel Another hotel worth checking out~ Yinchuan Anmo Hotel! It was quite convenient for us to charter a car from Zhongwei for two hours. I heard that many people charter a car to travel to Yinchuan Zhongwei and back on the same day. Anmo Hotel is located at the foot of Helan Mountain. The villa we stayed in was very large, with a dining room and living room, as well as a huge courtyard. Sitting on a recliner facing the Helan Mountain, the Helan Mountain was like a painting, a super beautiful view (but there were a lot of flies, I don’t know if there would be flies in ordinary rooms, there were a lot of flies in the villa). The hotel serves Chinese and Western food with a wide variety of dishes. It is especially suitable for bringing children. There is an activity room for children to do handicrafts, as well as an outdoor children's paddling pool. You can also take an electric car to the farm to pick fruits and feed the small animals - there are ostriches, sheep, geese, rabbits, etc. The children had a lot of fun. Therefore, you can have a lot of fun in the hotel without going anywhere else, and the adults can just comfortably enjoy the scenery and lie down to enjoy the holiday style. The hotel is quite remote and it is not very convenient to get a taxi. You can ask the hotel to help you call a taxi. It takes about 50 minutes by taxi to Yinchuan city. It is close to various scenic spots nearby, including Helan Mountain Park, Zhenbeibao, rock paintings, and Manpu Town.

|Monument Valley on the Gobi Desert. I flew to Yinchuan for my birthday this year and spent the weekend there. I stayed at Anmo. I really liked the design of the entire hotel. The color scheme blended in with the Helan Mountains, making it look very comfortable and unique. When they saw it was my birthday, the hotel front desk kindly upgraded me to a suite. The 270-degree terrace was huge and perfect for drinking and chatting while stargazing at night. When I returned to my room in the afternoon on my birthday, I saw that the hotel had arranged "Happy Birthday" on the bed with flower petals. Although the aesthetics could be improved, it was still very thoughtful. Anmo is mainly composed of detached houses, so there is a distance from the room to the restaurant and the lobby. It can be a bit hot during the day, but many guests take a walk outside at night, and the evening breeze is very pleasant. The buffet had a wide variety of dishes, but the taste was not outstanding. I guess you can't expect too much from a newly opened hotel, haha. I visited many wineries in the meantime and was deeply impressed by domestic wines. I'll find time to write a separate article!

This trip to Yinchuan, the most shocking thing for me was this hotel under Helan Mountain 🏨 Helan Mountain is vast and desolate This neon-colored hotel forms a stark contrast with it One is the masterpiece of nature The other is the exquisite work of the laboring people . The red exterior wall of the hotel is perfect for photos~ A casual shot is a blockbuster There is also the highest spiral staircase in Asia in the lobby It is said to be applying for the Guinness World Record There is also a Turandot wine town outside the hotel . Staying here, the surrounding attractions are also very close ✅ It only takes 10 minutes by taxi to Manpu Town and Zhenbeibao Film City ✅ It only takes 30 minutes by taxi to Helan Mountain Rock Paintings Not only can you enjoy the beautiful scenery of Helan Mountain, You can also visit almost all the surrounding attractions~ . 📍: Yin Chuan Anmo Hotel

Located at the scenic C-spot beneath Helan Mountain, directly facing the Sleeping Buddha of Helan Mountain, you can pick grapes in the hotel's own vineyard and taste red wine while gazing at the starry sky above. Experience the culture of the Western Xia Dynasty. We're saying, this hotel is so fun that it maxes out the fun meter! And it just opened in '23, so all the facilities are brand new. Starting at 900+, you can stay here, so hurry up, treasures! Location Helan Hongguang Town Jinshan Village Wine Town Traffic Nuanquan Station - 29km - Hotel, about 34min to arrive Huabo Garden General Airport - 35km - Hotel, estimated 37min to arrive Hotel Treasure Play Strategy: The hotel is located at the best scenic spot of Helan Mountain, the hotel lobby bar directly faces one of China's four natural Sleeping Buddhas - Helan Mountain Sleeping Buddha, within a 20-minute drive you can reach a multitude of 5A and 4A level scenic spots! The eastern foothills of Helan Mountain, where the hotel is located, is the best wine-producing area in China, and Anmo Hotel has its own vineyard with thousands of acres of grapevines! From July to September is the grape ripening season, and picking will be open to guests for a unique and unmissable experience! There is also a red wine tasting area on one side of the lobby. Helan Mountain is also known as 'the place closest to the stars.' Without any equipment, all you have to do is look up to be gifted with a sky full of stars. The hotel's overall architecture is a low-rise building complex with red exterior walls, using colors close to the earth, making it very photogenic. The best view of the hotel is in the main building's lobby bar, with direct views of the Helan Mountain landscape, which is very impactful. This is also the best angle to view the Sleeping Buddha of Helan Mountain, with seats and sunken card seats specially set up on the terrace. During the summer, Helan Mountain has a unique sunset spectacle - the sun sets right at the position of the Sleeping Buddha's eyes, leaving a miraculous memory for your eyes and camera. The hotel has three types of rooms with views: mountain view (of Helan Mountain), estate view (of the vineyard), and courtyard view, starting from 60㎡, which is spacious for a resort hotel. Anmo also has a bar called Yima Wine Shop. It's not the typical internet-famous bar style, but rather focuses on a casual, relaxing, and slightly tipsy experience. 😁 The indoor swimming pool is very aesthetically pleasing, with a view of the mountains. Exclusive Customized Package Rights: Courtyard view rooms come with welcome fruit on the day of check-in and a first round of the mini bar Hotel set menu breakfast Hotel activities (aromatherapy quicksand candle making, sand bottle painting) Visit to the Wolong Vineyard AAA scenic area (reservation required at least one day in advance) View sunrise from 05:00-08:30, view moonrise from 17:00-21:00

I drove back to Yinchuan from Zhongwei. I took the high-speed rail from Zhongwei to Wuzhong. Since there was no place to store luggage at Wuzhong High-speed Railway Station, I rented a car there. Went to Wuzhong city for morning tea (even though it was already afternoon). I bought some delicious mutton in Wuzhong and sent it home, then started driving back to my hotel in Yinchuan. On the first day of traveling through the five lakes, I began to sigh when I saw the Helan Mountains. This time, I stayed at the ceiling of the Yinchuan Hotel at the foot of the Helan Mountains to see what it felt like. The hotel can be seen from a distance. In the almost barren Helan Mountain area, the red building has a unique flavor. People would think I was in Morocco, hahahaha. The hotel can be seen from a distance. In the almost barren Helan Mountain area, the red building has a unique flavor. People would think I was in Morocco, hahahaha. The service attitude is very good. The security guard, housekeeper and front desk are all very enthusiastic. We stayed in a courtyard king room, which had its own small courtyard. It was especially beautiful to look at the stars and the moon at night. There are many activities to experience in the hotel, but we didn't experience any of them because we were lazy. . . . I didn’t get to attend the stargazing class in the evening because my husband had a cold, hahahaha. But there are a lot of activities! The package we purchased includes a main meal and a breakfast, both tasted good, except that the egg pancake in Yinchuan was a bit dry, hahahahahaha. The facilities in the room are very new, it should have been opened not long ago! So there is still a little smell in the room~and! Maybe because we are close to the Helan Mountains, the signal is always only one bar! But the wifi is still good! The minibar is full of drinks! The supplies are also very tasteful. I will place an order from the same brand as soon as I get home~ at last! Anmo's hotel brand design is so beautiful! The entire shot is in eye-catching but not dazzling red, as if declaring that every day of ours is fresh and bright.

Indifferent Hotel The Indifferent Hotel is located at the foot of the Helan Mountains, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, boasting a unique natural landscape. It is situated in a privileged wine-producing region. Life is but about poetry, wine, and tea, Enjoy tea and wine while in the prime of life.

The sand is soft and fun, and we had a full meal 📍Route 66 In this life, one must drive not only on Route 318 but also on Route 66 There are many people on the road, and the scenery is great. Be careful when taking photos 📍Huaiyuan Night Market One of the must-visit spots, the freshly baked crispy Mongolian beef pies are really delicious The fruits in the night market are also very sweet, and there's a dairy cow yogurt nearby that's super tasty Grilled eggs are generally not to my taste, buy some local spicy strips and continue on the road Stay🏨 at Helan Anmo Hotel in Yinchuan The hotel is quite empty, maybe because it's off-season The hotel style is great, recommended!

Helan Mountain has always been dualistic. In history, it was dyed with the breath of iron and blood because of 'Man Jiang Hong'. On the other hand, it blocked the invasion of Siberian cold air and Tengger Desert, creating the 'Jiangnan' in the north of the Great Wall in the Ningxia Plain. Helan Mountain, which stretches to the west of Yinchuan, has now become a tourist destination for many tourists. . I heard several years ago that a wine town was being built near Jinshan, but I didn't expect that there is only one business place now - Anmo Hotel. The theme building, front hall, and lobby are well designed. The exterior of the hotel room is a bit like the Yellow River Inn, but the interior of the room didn't give me too much surprise, it's quite ordinary. With this price, it's a bit expensive. If the later supporting facilities and experiences are more perfect, I personally think it is more cost-effective than the Star Hotel. . Looking at the sunset, drinking wine, eating meat, watching stars, and bragging are actually quite good. . I am a foodie, so where are there fun check-in places? You recommend, I explore!
