Things to do in Yulin

Jingbian Wave Valley's promotional materials are somewhat exaggerated. Only a few spots along the entire route showcase typical Danxia landforms. The scenic area is vast, taking over three hours to complete the main loop, but there aren't many photogenic locations. It's suitable for physically fit tourists who enjoy hiking and exploring the Loess Plateau landscape; those purely looking for photos should lower their expectations.

Hongjiannao Scenic Area is described as "half desert, half sea, a coexistence of desolation and romance." A national AAAA-level scenic area, it's a "pearl of the desert" in the Mu Us Desert. A great place for family trips, definitely worth visiting. The boiled fish at Hongjiannao is delicious! Superb!

I came across Erlang Mountain's scenery in a short video online and thought it was magnificent. It's rare to see such a thin mountain range with so many temples and ancient buildings. It truly felt like heaven on earth, so I traveled a long way to see it. Overall, it was quite good and worth the trip. The most important thing was Erlang Temple. Seeing the piercing statue of Erlang Shen, I made a wish to him, hoping it would come true.

This street is beautiful to visit during the day and especially at night. It has a vibrance of locals in the evening, and lots of stores and restaurants. Lots to see and do here. A very night street to slowly walk along and enjoy!

It is worth a visit for history lovers, especially those who love the Great Wall and Ming Dynasty frontier history. The fortress itself is a modern construction, with only a few remaining beacon tunnels and city walls in the far west and east.

Baiyun Mountain, located on the banks of the Yellow River in Jia County, is a famous Taoist mountain. Its terrain runs from northwest to southeast, majestically situated on the west bank of the mighty Yellow River. The mountain is covered with lush pine and cypress trees, and towering cliffs. From a distance, it appears and disappears in the mist. The Baiyun Mountain Taoist temple complex is the largest Ming Dynasty architectural complex in the entire Northwest region, with numerous temples and halls of varying sizes, creating a magnificent and imposing sight.

The museum was very well done; although small, it was very well-designed. The children had a great time interacting with the exhibits. The shuttle bus took us to the ruins to experience the grandeur of Baicheng.

Huangchengtai is still under archaeological excavation and can only be viewed from a distance. The outer city, which is open to visitors, offers opportunities to interact with many enthusiastic young people from the Shimao area – a highly recommended experience! Visiting the museum first before coming here will provide a more authentic and concrete understanding of the traces of human life 4,000 years ago!

The autumn in Mahuangliang is like nature overturning the palette. The leaves all over the mountains gradually change from emerald green to golden and orange-red. The sun pours down, and the mottled light and shadow jump on the ground. Time leaves a gentle mark on this land. The autumn charm of Mahuangliang is hidden in every corner carved by time. The ancient plateau is like a solidified painting. The wind is wandering freely, the mountains are breathing slowly, and the breath of time permeates this land. The unique loess geological features have formed a variety of strange terrains after being eroded by wind and rain. They are either upright or winding, outlining a majestic and quiet charm in the autumn sun.

Yulin Weicheng, an ancient castle building from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. As an important town in the Nine Borders of the Ming Great Wall, it is responsible for guarding Beijing. Only the east wall is well preserved, and here we can see Beijing swifts breeding here, so beautiful!
