Where did everyone go for the holiday❓❓ Today, I recommend a popular town in Yinchuan, the Manpu Helan Performance Town. There are many performances in the town.

🌟Hot Springs: After checking in, you can enter and exit the hot springs an unlimited number of times with your room card, and the hot springs are open until eleven o'clock at night. The hot springs are large with many varieties, and the cave ones are very unique! There are also many facilities for children to play with, and you can rent swimming rings. Soaking in the hot springs at night♨ feels great, with many outdoor pools. 🌟Makeup and Photography: At the entrance of the tourist center, there are shops for makeup, with various costumes available. Since we brought our own Hanfu and cheongsam, we chose to do our own makeup. The town has both modern and desert styles, as well as art galleries and exhibitions, where you can take many types of photos. 🌟Performances: The performances in the town start at five o'clock. Our package included the Helan Grand Ceremony, which is spectacular and has a strong storyline. Children might not be very interested. There are performances at different times throughout the town. 🌟Dining: The town has a snack street with various snacks, and the prices are touching, almost the same as outside. There are also barbecue and hot and sour noodles. The hotel's own breakfast starts at seven and has a rich variety, including ramen and mutton offal, as well as various pastries. In the evening, the town also has taverns with excellent craft beer. After soaking in the hot springs at night, coming out to the quiet town has a different flavor, but there's not much to eat. Sitting in the tavern listening to music and having a beer with friends feels great too! The town is actually not big, but it's rich in content. If you want to take photos, soak in the hot springs, and watch performances, you need to plan your time well. I think staying for one night allows for a relaxed visit. Sisters who have time can go early, first visit the art gallery, then soak in the hot springs, do makeup, watch the Helan Grand Ceremony, come out to see various performances and eat snacks. Sisters who like to take photos can choose to soak in the evening or the next morning, as the hot springs are crowded in the afternoon. The town is suitable for a leisurely experience, perfect for a relaxing weekend! The parking lot is large and the fees are reasonable, and there are many attractions nearby.

The "Manpu·See Helan" immersive performing arts town is an immersive performing arts town located at the foot of the Helan Mountains in Ningxia, China. In Yinchuan, you can go to "Manpu·See Helan" to experience its winter version of the "New Year Customs Appreciation" themed event, which has 4 highlight sections, 10 exciting ways to play, 19 consecutive performances and 25 national trend lanterns, showing the characteristics of the Northwest. The winter version of the "Manpu·See Helan" event takes the Helan Mountain culture as its starting point, presents the beauty of the Helan Mountain with super high appearance, awakens the Helan Mountain culture with immersive performances, and tells the story of Ningxia with fireworks blocks, allowing tourists to embark on a journey of seeing through time and space. The specific opening hours of the winter version of "Manpu·See Helan" have not yet been announced, but according to previous information, the opening hours of its summer version are 15:00-20:50, and the lighting time is 18:00-22:00.

In terms of transportation, you can choose to drive yourself or take public transportation.

It should be noted that the specific opening hours and ticket prices may vary depending on the season and events, so it is recommended that you confirm again before going.

I climbed the mountain all day, touched Helan Mountain up close, and the performance of Manpu town in the evening made me understand Helan Mountain even deeper. The winter tour of Manpu town includes lanterns, outdoor performances, etc., and the 'Helan Festival' needs to be purchased separately from the ticket. Because I have seen too many impression series and everlasting love series performances, I didn't have very high expectations at the beginning, but it was much better than I thought. The stage is not big, but many parts of the performance are very creative, and the narration copy also adds color. The impression and the everlasting, especially the everlasting love series, are too similar, once amazing, and then numb. The last sentence of the performance, 'Why are you here?' is really thought-provoking...
