9:30 to enter the park 14:30 to leave the park. We played all except the flying dragon. We went to the desert area first and then the Yellow River. We also had a meal in the viewing restaurant. We must go early because there will be a lot of people in the afternoon. There are not many people in the desert area in the morning. There is almost no queue. The flying dragon baby should be 35KG, otherwise it is easy to get stuck in the middle and can't fly. But even if you don't play the flying dragon, it is still worth buying a package. Children like flying in the desert and riding camels the most
Finally got here to check in. What I'm most looking forward to is the sheepskin raft, which is very fun. The rowing master No. 81 is great! The whole rafting time is about 15 minutes. The masters will sing together, which is quite interesting.

A very old-fashioned place. I saw the scenes from "A Chinese Odyssey" when I was a kid. It was very good. There were also many Zixia fairies. The coverage was very comprehensive. It was a good place and worth visiting. Recommended

This is a full on day picked up at 710am and dropped off 635pm- but well worth it . Unfortunately it wasn't clear that we had to pay extra cost Western Xia Mausoleum. The driver was excellent and we had a great day
We arrived at the scenic spot at 5pm. It was still very sunny. The scenic spot was very empty. We couldn't enter the mausoleum. We could only look at the periphery. There was no explanation. In fact, we could have an external explanation in front of the stone tablet introducing the mausoleum. The carriage seemed unnecessary. The horses looked tired. We traveled between Mausoleum No. 3 and Mausoleum No. 4.

You can walk a long way along the Grand Canyon. It's fun to look at the rock paintings carefully. The Sun God is a little steep, but it's not difficult for young people to climb. The waterfall at Shuiguan is a surprise, but the round-trip sightseeing bus is a bit tasteless.
The price-performance ratio is very high. It is a city worth visiting. . . . Good, good, good, good, the scenery is very good, the weather is also very good, it is worth seeing. The scenic area is very special and the scenery is unique. . . .

The overall evaluation is average. Although the park is large, the purchased package can only be used in one area, and the recreational projects are like large farmhouses. The self-funded horseback riding experience is not good. There are 6 or 7 people with a coach, bumping around on the dirt road. It seems that the coach and the horse are in a hurry to finish the run and get off work.
It is very convenient to drive here from the city, and there is no traffic jam. There are not many people in the scenic area during the week. There are many projects inside, suitable for adults and children. The performances are very exciting and it is very easy to take pictures and watch movies.

The first stop of the trip to Ningxia, the park is very large, I bought a package ticket and experienced horse carriages, camel carts, tractors, and sightseeing buses. I strongly recommend Beijiang Tiange, it was very shocking, and the Mongolian knights were so cool!
Shuidonggou is very close to the airport. If you take a bus from the airport, the driver can buy cheaper tickets. Shuidonggou Scenic Area is very large, and there are various means of transportation to take, which is a satisfying experience. The equestrian performance inside is very good.

The forest park is fun. It was cloudy and not sunny that day. The bus pick-up was very comfortable. We took the cable car to the station and arrived at the high-altitude acrobatics performance. Next to it is the cable bridge. The cable bridge is very long and has a good view, which is suitable for taking pictures. The performance is thrilling and worth watching. After the performance, you can climb the mountain or take the cable car down the mountain, which is not tiring at all. I also saw mountain goats. There was an explanation on the bus, which was very helpful for understanding the history of the park.
I came here on the last day of my trip. I was quite tight on time because of the last minute change in plans that day, but I still had an immersive experience of the Helan Mountains. I plan to hike a bit when I have time in the future. After being used to the mountains and rivers of Jiangnan, I found the Helan Mountains very spectacular. I also met mountain goats on the way, which made me happy.

The weather was good and the Helan Mountains were very beautiful! The Swan Island Wetland was also very beautiful and comfortable. The weather in June was not hot, so it was very relaxing to walk there. The only bad thing was that we had to go through the desert area and could not skip it. Because we had already played the desert project in Shapotou, we didn't want to go to the desert area again, but the design of the scenic area required us to go through it (probably because the desert project had to be paid separately and the cost was not low), and we had to walk a long way to get to the pier to take a boat to get off the island, which was very bad and greatly reduced the entire scenic area.
Half of the yellow sand is vast, and the lake is gentle with clear water. The Shahu Lake has both the grandeur of "the lone smoke rising in the desert" and the grace of "the water town in the south of the Yangtze River".
The ticket is not expensive, but the price of taking transportation (boat and car) is high.

Oh, Qingtongxia Yellow River Grand Canyon is so interesting! The Yellow River is so magnificent. When I was rafting on a sheepskin raft, I was so nervous that my heart was in my throat, but it was very exciting. The mountains on both sides looked like they were in a painting, so high. When the sun was about to set, the whole river surface was shining with golden light, so beautiful! The more I look at this place, the more I like it. I will definitely come again next time!
It is a very worthwhile attraction. I chose Package B. The whole itinerary was very well arranged. I didn't have to worry too much. I just followed it. The scenery of the Yellow River is very beautiful. I also learned a lot from the Ningxia Water Making Museum and the Tallinn Museum. In short, it was a very good experience.

There is a large performance site inside Manpu. As soon as we entered, we watched a dance show. All the actors were there and they were quite passionate. After the show, we took photos with the NPCs. We took photos with almost everyone. Then we went inside and had various interactions to earn money, such as gambling, throwing darts, playing games, etc. My children liked it very much. They almost participated in all of them and refused to leave.
Manpu·See the real experience of Helan Performing Arts Town ｜ Is the immersive journey worth rushing? 🌟 The overall experience summary The performing arts town that was swiped into the circle of friends finally punched in! Stayed here all day, there were amazing high-light moments, and also stepped on a few small thunders. The sisters collected this real evaluation ～ ✨ must praise the flash point 1. The immersive performance ceiling 20+ live performances are seamless! "Xiaguxing" in the darts and the wall of the martial arts fighting superbly, "Lingzhou Huimeng" ancient costume group drama directly dragged me into the Shengtang! The most amazing thing is that the NPC will interact randomly. It was really a surprise when the "Ancient Princess" took a photo. The evening's main show "Helan Mountain Festival" was a special effect. Sitting in the audience felt like watching a movie blockbuster! 2. The seven theme blocks with a 100% film rate have their own characteristics! Under the ancient city wall, the atmosphere is large, and the lantern-filled Diannong Ancient Street is super suitable for wearing Hanfu to shoot the night scene. I specially wore a cheongsam to the light and shadow promenade of the wine museum, and I asked the address in the circle of friends! 3. One-stop holiday super worry-free hot spring hotel package is superb, tired to play directly to relax; non-legacy block can experience hand-made He Lanxuan, give girlfriends with gifts super suitable; Sisters with children can store the children in the children's play center, and go to the wine tasting hall to take a micro-check of the ～ ⚠️ Avoid the pit guide 1. Remember the performance time! Some popular venues need to occupy seats in advance. It is recommended to take the performance schedule to plan the route first, otherwise it is easy to miss the program you want to see. 2. Weekend people in the crowd! If you want to take pictures comfortably, try to choose a working day or a staggered peak in the morning, and the experience of the tour group gathering after 3 pm will be discounted. 3. The park is large in size and wear comfortable shoes! Although there is a shuttle bus, it is inevitable to walk 20,000 steps to the food red and black list. Must eat recommendation - Huaiyuan Sightseeing Night Market Snacks: Huaiyuan Night Market, which is re-engraved in Yinchuan's super-fire, is in the park! Rolled cold skin sour and hot appetizer, spicy strips wrapped in roasted bran skin to lame feet, rose bran milk flavor is strong, dessert control closed eyes! - Helan Mountain Wild Mushroom Noodle: Fresh eyebrows soup base! The mushrooms are tender and chewy, the noodles are full of soup and super flavorful, and the portion is super large for two people to share food ～- Xixia roasted whole lamb: a must for dinner! The outer skin is roasted golden and crispy, and the secret cumin is fragrant to the bones. There is also a Mongolian girl singing and dancing on the spot to help the fun, and the sense of ritual is full! Try carefully - some snack stalls are too expensive, it is recommended to compare a few more before starting; Individual net red punching shops take pictures, but the taste is general, avoid following the wind and stepping on the thunder ～ 💌 intimate Tips for girls ✔️ Wearing Hanfu/cheongsam to make more films. There are rental shops in the park but the holiday style may not be complete. It is recommended to bring your own ✔️ with makeup! The night view lighting is super beautiful, but sweating and dissemblance will affect the value of the petal bath ball in the hot spring area. When you are in the bath, remember to find the staff to collect it. The atmosphere is directly full! In general, if you want to experience the romance of crossing the millennium, or if your girlfriends group to shoot blockbusters in ancient style, it is definitely worth rushing! It is recommended to enter the park at 3 pm, go shopping during the day, take pictures, watch the show at night, unlock
