Shuidonggou

The discovery of Shuidonggou has epoch-making significance, which makes the West recognize that China has prehistoric civilization in the Paleolithic Age. The off-season Shuidonggou has fewer commercial entertainment projects, but I prefer it because the value and core of Shuidonggou are prehistoric civilization, the boundary point of farming and nomadic, and Ming history. Ningxia is indeed not big, if you drive a little further, you cross into Inner Mongolia, 'He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man', this is written about the Great Wall of Ningxia.

Shuidonggou Zhangsan's Small Shop: The Intersection of History

In Shuidonggou, Ningxia, Zhangsan's small shop is highly regarded in the archaeological world for its unique historical background. This seemingly ordinary shop carries a profound history. A century ago, it was the base for French scientists De Rijin and Sang Zhihua to explore the Shuidonggou site, where they left valuable archaeological materials. To commemorate these two great archaeologists, Zhangsan's small shop has specially preserved their daily necessities, photos, and manuscripts, and their statues stand in the courtyard. These objects silently tell the story of their hard work and passion for science. This Zhangsan's small shop is a relocated version, its original location is close at hand, silently telling the glorious history.

If I didnt see it with my own eyes, I really couldnt believe that this large piece of green water before the green hills turned out to be a desert without grass. Today, we came to Baijitan from Yinchuan and witnessed the great achievements of local sand control. I saw that the desert was swallowed up by green plants under the unremitting efforts of the Ningxia people. It is really heartfelt joy!
