Features: Yinchuan – a dreamlike magical place, a poetic and beautiful city, where the Yellow River winds through in a thousand twists and turns, scattering lakes like pearls. Here are the unique and profound rock paintings left by our ancestors on the Helan Mountains, and the remains of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall, the "Eastern Pyramid" – the Xixia Imperial Tombs, a crystallization of the diligence and wisdom of the Chinese nation. Here is a Hui ethnic village with charming scenery and unique architectural styles. Here, ancient pagodas stand tall, pavilions and towers are picturesque, and numerous cultural relics and historical sites are scattered throughout. Here, you can enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Yellow River ferry described by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei as "lonely smoke rises straight from the desert, the long river rounds the setting sun," and the fairyland of Shahu, where there is both sand and water, the lake merges with the sky, and the sunset blends with flocks of birds. You can also ride a camel with a spiritual touch and roll and frolic on the golden, shimmering sands. Come! Friends, the people here welcome you. This book will take you into a gentle and affectionate embrace.
