青青岛-I searched for this popular Ningxia snack, mutton offal. I decided to try it after searching for this popular shop. The shop is located on a street-side street, and there's some parking right in front, but it's limited. I recommend avoiding driving, as it's difficult to find. Parking on the street is another matter entirely. There's a counter at the entrance for ordering. The specialty is noodle lung (a traditional Xinjiang Uyghur snack made with lamb lungs stewed in flour batter, resulting in a delicate and tender texture). There are also mixed mutton offal and mixed mutton. The prices are a bit high, but even the small bowls are generous. If you don't like spicy food, just let the owner know, and they'll serve it accordingly. The shop is very clean and tidy, with an inner and outer dining area on the first floor, and seating on the second floor. The food was served quickly, and the mutton offal had a rich flavor without any mutton smell. The triangular pancakes complemented the mutton offal soup even better. Northwestern Chinese people have strong palates, so the soup base is slightly salty and savory.

Don't trust cheap "Shapotou Day Tour" tours advertised on the roadside; they're full of hidden costs. 2. When buying fruit at the night market, always "try before you buy"—the Ningxia watermelons are incredibly sweet, don't miss them. 3. Don't order pork or alcohol at halal restaurants; respect local customs. 4. Avoid desert excursions at noon. Wear sunscreen and bring plenty of water, and rent shoe covers to prevent sand from getting in. 5. Stay near the Drum Tower or Jade Emperor Pavilion; they're more convenient than Yinchuan Station and offer more convenient shopping and dining options. Yinchuan isn't just a stopover; it's a treasure trove worth slowing down to savor three bowls of mutton and witness two sunsets over the Yellow River. There's no rushing to rush or counting bills here; even the breeze carries the down-to-earth atmosphere of the Great Wall. ✨ #YinchuanTravel #YinchuanTravelStrategy #NingxiaTravel #FamilyTravel
