Things to do in Qingtongxia

This package is amazing value! The 718 yuan four-person package includes a full boat tour of the Yellow River Grand Canyon (Route B, sightseeing bus, water conservancy hub, viewing bridge, 108 pagodas, boat tour of the ten-mile-long canyon, Qingtongxia Stone Carvings, Sleeping Buddha Mountain, Dayu Cultural Park, and shuttle bus), plus a hot pot for four. Sitting on a panoramic glass-bottomed boat, with the magnificent scenery of the Yellow River Grand Canyon outside and a steaming hot pot inside, this "raising chopsticks towards the Yellow River" experience is absolutely unique! A review could go like this: Qingtongxia Yellow River Grand Canyon, a double treat of boat tour + hot pot! The 718 yuan four-person package is incredibly cost-effective, including all attractions on Route B. The most amazing part is enjoying hot pot on the boat—outside the window are the towering mountains of the ten-mile-long canyon, below is the rolling Yellow River, and inside the steaming boat, every bite is a mouthful of fresh, flavorful food and a taste of the landscape—you won't find this experience anywhere else! Passing by the 108 Pagodas and the Dayu Cultural Park, you can enjoy both food and sights, a double treat for your eyes and taste buds. Highly recommended for those who want to add a unique experience to their trip; remember to make a reservation in advance!

The experience of visiting the Qingtongxia Yellow River Grand Canyon is very good. During the National Day holiday, you need to queue up for the sightseeing bus to the dam, but it takes time. The arrangement of taking a boat to the 108 Towers opposite is very reasonable, and you can also climb the 108 Towers.

This trip to Hunan was an excellent experience from start to finish. Our tour guide, Mi, was highly responsible and attentive to everyone. When some tourists experienced motion sickness, she promptly provided drinking water and motion sickness medication to comfort them. Even when we encountered a traffic accident and the scene was chaotic, she calmly and effectively calmed everyone down. Throughout the trip, she took excellent care of each tourist, demonstrating dedication and reliability. It was a very worthwhile trip.

Taohua Creek is a scenic spot in Niu Shou Mountain. This is a corner that will be forgotten if you take the scenic area bus. But it is very beautiful, especially in the spring when the peach blossoms are in full bloom. It is on a small road on the left side of the entrance to the scenic area, and you can see it by hiking. Like Yinlong Lake, it is quiet and ignored but still shining.

The Yellow River Altar is located in Qingtongxia City, Wuzhong, Ningxia. It was built for the purpose of worshiping the Yellow River and is backed by the Helan Mountains. The whole park looks large and imposing, but the materials used in the park’s buildings are average. I hope it will be well maintained and passed down from generation to generation.

Wuzhong is located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, in the middle of Ningxia, with Yinchuan to the north and Zhongwei to the south. In the Western Han Dynasty, a city was built on the island of the Yellow River, and Lingzhou County was established. It was changed to Lingzhou County in the Eastern Han Dynasty and Lingwu in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. During the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang fled to Sichuan, and Crown Prince Li Heng ascended the throne in Lingwu (i.e. Lingzhou, now Wuzhong).

It's a very beautiful place! The ecological environment is well protected, with many geese, egrets and ducks.

I booked free admission for Mondays, but I still needed to buy a shuttle bus ticket, which didn't apply to the number of tombs I visited. Normally, you first visit the Western Xia Imperial Tombs Museum to learn about that period of history, then walk along a rather long path to take the shuttle bus. Generally, you visit Tomb No. 3 first, then take the shuttle bus and horse-drawn carriage to Tomb No. 4, and then take the shuttle bus back to the starting point. The overall route was smooth, and the shuttle bus service was quite timely. However, the distance from the entrance to the shuttle bus station is a bit far, which might be inconvenient for disabled or elderly tourists. Overall, it was a good experience.

Excellent, definitely worth seeing. Watching the performance taught me about the strong support the people of Fujian have given to Minning Town. It's a very immersive performance with a strong patriotic theme.
