If you haven't seen a desert, go to see the desert; if you haven't seen the Yellow River, go to listen to the Yellow River; if you haven't seen a no man's land, go and have a look.

On July 23, 2022, the summer vacation will officially begin. Starting from Lukou, Nanjing, it is rare to have an early flight. I wake up the children at 4:30. Going out to play and getting up early will be stress-free. Arriving in Yinchuan, wow, it's not hot at all, it's very comfortable, full of curiosity, excitement, and expectation. After ten o'clock, I took the car directly to the Shuidonggou Scenic Area. Prehistoric humans, the Tibetan soldiers cave in the Ming Dynasty, and the savage boy (Xiaohua would learn to dance like the savage after watching the performance, and her father would call her savage little girl at home). It's not too hot here, it's just too hot in the sun, so I wear sunscreen clothes the whole time.

As long as you see a mountain in Yinchuan, it is Helan Mountain. Along the way, my friends corrected my pronunciation of these three words. We went to see Helan rock paintings and rock sheep. We knew what the sun god looked like in the rock paintings and how the ancients used patterns to represent men and women. The paintings carved were simple but vivid. In this place, the children listened to the guide's explanation and listened very carefully. Big friends rarely interact with the guide aunt and even see blue sheep. My good impression of Ningxia started from here. There were not many people or crowded, the weather was not too hot, and it was fun to play in the scenic spot.

It is said that this rock painting is just to take a look at it and cherish it now. After watching the rock paintings, I went to the Xixia Style Garden, which is more suitable for children, and gave up going to the Xixia Royal Mausoleum. According to netizens, the Xixia Royal Mausoleum is suitable for people with rich hearts and a good understanding of Xixia history to see and feel the vicissitudes and depth of history. In the Xixia Style Park, the master who runs the battery car in the park is a talkative person who supplements our knowledge of Xixia. In the Style Garden, I saw Chinese folk skills, various juggling skills, including drinking oil and breathing fire, skipping head, and jujitsu. I saw fear, understanding the difficulty of life and the power of persistence. Later, when chatting with my father, we discovered that we had also been to the Fengqing Garden when we went to Xishuangbanna. It seemed that the Fengqing Garden was very suitable for taking children there.

Today, we are going to the key place of our trip, Desert Star Hotel. We planned to visit last summer vacation but didn't get a hotel, and this year we finally arrived at the Star Hotel that we were longing for. I drove all the way for three hours to Zhongwei. When I was about to get there, I saw the desert. I liked the feeling of being open and endless. I also saw the Internet talking about photovoltaic power generation in patches, which was used to supplement children's knowledge of clean energy. I talked about seeing patches of wind power generation in Weihai the year before last. This photovoltaic power generation uses solar energy, and in the future, I will go to the Three Gorges Dam to use the difference in water levels to generate electricity. This is why I want to take my children out. I am studying on the road, and my thoughts are particularly divergent on the road. I just want to tell my children everything I know and tell them the greatness of mankind. When we arrived at the hotel's Gate of Time and Space (which is the hotel's reception desk, on the edge of the desert), the car had to be parked in the parking lot of the reception desk. It felt a bit messy. Maybe a tour group was coming at the same time, so it was a bit difficult to accommodate so many people. I didn't have a good impression at first. When we arrived at the accommodation place, the children were so excited that they soaked in the sand and played with the sand. We spent the afternoon like this. My father and I washed the clothes for the previous two days. My father brought a clothes line and clothes rack. That's wise. The sun was so strong that the clothes dried in less than three hours. Even the color faded was a bit serious. Our clothes rack, which was originally pink, turned into light pink.

Digging sand in Shapotou, playing in the sand, drinking wolfberry sprout tea, drinking chrysanthemum tea, eating instant noodles, snacks and drinks. Go out to ride camels during the day, take ATVs, warrior buggies, and sand buggies. When you are thirsty, eat selenium sand melons; drag a sand board to climb the sand to skate; at night, watch the beautiful stars, watch the Milky Way, watch the North Star, watch the Chinese Space Station. It seems that every star or every shining object in the sky has its own story. The children also have a further interest in outer space because of the hotel's stargazing activities, so three days passed and leisurely.

On the sixth day after we came out, we returned to Yinchuan from Zhongwei. We didn't go to Highway 66. Time didn't allow us. We went to the Qingtongxia Grand Canyon on the way back to Yinchuan. We learned that no matter what era, we attach great importance to the development of water conservancy. It should be the common people who live in peace can stabilize the political situation. Later, we discovered that hydropower can also be used when building the dam. When we saw Tower 108, we sat on a sheepskin raft that we didn't see in Zhongwei. To be honest, it was too crowded for our family of four. My father made his feet numb when he cut it off.

Back in Yinchuan, my father's Zhenbei Castle had not yet been visited. The children unanimously opposed going. For some reason, they didn't let my father go to see Zixia Fairy (Dad said that there are not only Zixia Fairy in the movie, but there are many more. Forgive me for being ignorant, that's all I know.) I'm going to the heart of the Tengger Desert tomorrow. I signed up for a one-day trip. At first, my father didn't agree to go because he thought it was unsafe. After listening to me, my mobile phone would have no signal for a while, and I felt that it would be even more unreliable and afraid of danger. To be honest, I didn't even expect this. Men's safety awareness is still quite high. After hearing what he said, I was a little worried. I asked about the detailed itinerary with a nervous mood. I said that there was a motorcade when entering the desert, so I felt more relieved. In the morning, Master Di took us to the Sanguankou Great Wall. Here, we felt that the Mongolians were riding horses to level the Western Xia Dynasty. The Western Xia city was massacred, and the Western Xia family was exterminated. Seeing the Great Wall of Earth is different from the Great Wall in Beijing. In the early days of the Great Wall, although it was built with piles of earth, it also had the heroic spirit of iron horses and gold swords and the heroic spirit of dying in battle.

From Sanguan Pass, it is Inner Mongolia. When you arrive at the checkpoint, you need nucleic acid first, change cars to the desert. The journey that makes the children excited begins. Real off-road vehicles go uphill and downhill in the desert, just like that roller coaster. I feel that the cars in Shapotou are a piece of cake. This is a real excitement. I was a little worried that I couldn't bear it, but in the end, my father and the children couldn't bear it. I was fine because it didn't feel weightless. It felt good. Crossing the desert to see the five lakes, the most beautiful one is Ulan Lake, which impressed us very deeply, because my sister didn't listen to me. She walked on the crystallized salt lake. I didn't know if she walked into some sunken ground, and put some hot salt water in her shoes. She was so scared that she ran quickly, but she didn't even need her shoes. Then she ran barefoot on the sand. The temperature of the sand after being exposed to the sun for a day was very high. When she saw her father hanging on her calf, my sister called Ulan Lake "Sister's Foot Burning Lake". When I was about to go back, my sister actually fell asleep on a roller coaster. She remembered that she also slept soundly on the speedboat on Long Island in Yantai the year before last.

Back in Yinchuan, I went to the restaurant next to the Red Willow Branch Barbecue. I liked this kind of outdoor barbecue and drank beer and ate barbecue. I said that I had never done this in Nanjing. The big boy said,"You can do it too." Dad looked at her and scolded her."You don't count." Maybe I prefer this kind of no-burden beer barbecue bar. I still regret leaving Ningxia tomorrow. I never dared to slide down from the highest place. Looking forward to coming back next time with regret.

I took the high-speed train to Shaanxi, and I had to do nucleic acid when I left the station. I understand that this is the result of Xi'an consolidating itself. It is not easy to clear it, and it cherishes the feeling of freedom. In Xi'an, I went to the Tang Dynasty Sleepless City, climbed the city wall (I thought it was the Tang City Wall, and also the Ming City Wall), watched shadow puppets in the Gaojia Courtyard, went to the teahouse to listen to Qin Opera, and also listened to cross talk, telling the children that some things are intangible heritage that needs to be passed down, but some inheritance is not good and will be lost if this continues. I ate biangbiang noodles, roujiamo, mutton steamed buns, rice cakes, and gourd chicken. After leaving Xi'an's Urban area, I went to Lintong to see the terracotta warriors. When my sister came back, she remembered to kneel and shoot the terracotta warriors. She still remembered that it was the only complete terracotta warriors that had not been destroyed so far. The Terracotta Warriors Scenic Area is very famous, but the entrance to this scenic area is not very good. It is full of street vendors and shops. It is impossible to find the entrance gate at all. You have to pass through the crowded crowds and overcome the obstacles before you can see an entrance that is not too big. Too many people sell you products or take you in to play, and it feels like there are too many pits waiting for you to jump into. The whole of Xi'an does not give us a good feeling. It is crowded and noisy. The taxi drivers I have met are all liars and their routines are the same. Such a city with cultural heritage would be like this.

On the way from Xi'an to Yan' an, I began to listen to the "Yellow River Cantata" to my children, hoping that they could follow the song to understand the great rivers and mountains of the motherland and understand the history of the motherland, and continue the red education. When we arrived at Hukou Waterfall, we saw the Yellow River that broke up in Qingtong Gorge, Ningxia. It went all the way north to Inner Mongolia and then to Shaanxi. We met the Yellow River again. I really want to go with you to see the mouth of Yingkou. The 200-meter-long Yellow River surface would fall down at Hukou, a 50-meter-long place. It would be so spectacular and powerful that the water mist splashed so that my eyes couldn't open. Water droplets mixed with soil splashed on my body, leaving behind unclear spots of mud. There are also Rainbow Bridge above the water surface of the waterfall that seems to connect the east and west of the river. It is so appropriate to the song of the Yellow River Cantata. Looking at the Yellow River cantata performance in the Hukou Waterfall Scenic Area, the simple stage, and the simple original ecological performance, my eyes were moist at the end of hearing it. The Chinese people stepped forward to defend the Yellow River, North China, and the whole of China. I stayed at the hotel in Hukou Waterfall at night, but the access to the closed hotel in the scenic area was also closed. If I could be close to Hukou at this time, go and listen, the experience wouldn't be too great. This song lasted until Yan 'an, because I also watched a performance of "Back to Yan' an" in Yan 'an, and there was also a chorus of this song in the performance. I ate the Yellow River carp at the hotel in the evening. It was actually average. Compared with the fish in the lake in the south of the Yangtze River, it was much worse. The water in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River was mixed with sand, and the water quality was not good. The taste of the fish could only be like this.

I missed out one thing. We are west of Hukou, which belongs to Hexi. Across the river is Hedong, which is Shanxi Province. If the epidemic in Xi'an had not been lifted, we planned to see Hukou from Shanxi. I also experienced watching Hukou from a helicopter in Hukou. For the first time, I still remember three or four years ago in Sanya, I wanted to take the children by helicopter. They all said it was too noisy and afraid. Now that I grow up, I like more and more things. The things I am willing to experience are also increasing.

On the way from Hukou to Yan 'an, which song should we listen to? Of course, it is "Nanniwan". After listening to many versions, everyone has their own favorite version. Follow the navigation to Nanniwan. I don't know if we came from the wrong place or it's just like this. It's an open-style attraction with no gate or ticket office. It may be this mountain and cornfield. There is a large party emblem landmark that took photos of our big friends. Dad said that I could apply to join the party. In fact, my idea was to make my children feel patriotic and respect their ancestors and martyrs. On the highway to Yan 'an, there are from time to time primitive cave dwellings on the slopes on both sides of the highway, without decoration. They were previously inhabited and now they are abandoned. Let the children see the original appearance of the cave. When I arrived in Yan 'an, I lived across from Red Street, which is a man-made specialty street. There are red performances, training grounds, red cultural and creative products, many snacks, and a large outdoor playground where children spent the night playing. The performance was immersive, watching while walking. It was very novel and quite shocking. The performance tells the story of the Red Army's Long March, climbing snowy mountains and crossing grasslands. The performance is carefully choreographed. It was just that when Xiao Wa saw the grass, she was really afraid to go out, so my father could only accompany her out, leaving me and my eldest sister to watch the whole journey. There are more than 400 revolutionary sites in Yan 'an. An inconspicuous place on the roadside is a revolutionary site or news liaison office. The city of Yan' an is connected by cities in valleys through tunnels. There was another incident when talking about the tunnel. At night, Dabao remembered that the zodiac sign of the Horan Stone on his neck had been left in the restaurant for dinner. His father called the restaurant and said that he had picked it up. His father took a taxi to get it, but he didn't expect to get a taxi when he came back. He learned from the phone that if there was no car, his father would have to walk back. After hearing me say that he would have to walk through the tunnel, Dabao was a little scared and worried about his father. The attractions in Yan 'an are all red attractions, so there is no charge. In Wangjiaping, I wanted to see Ansai's waist drum performance but didn't see it, so I hurried there listening to the sound of waist drum, and the performance ended. After seeing Yangjialing and Wangjiaping, they are all places where great people lived and worked. My father said to go to the jujube forest again. When I was about to reach the jujube forest, I saw the sign ahead saying to visit the jujube forest, and there was a parking lot below. I felt very strange. The word "visit" was added later. At a glance, it was different from the word "jujube forest" in front. As soon as you entered the parking lot, someone came up and pulled you to buy dog-headed dates. After you left the parking lot, you walked forward and found that the parking lot was not a scenic parking lot at all. Dad thought about it and decided to go back and drive the car out and park it in the parking lot of the scenic spot. When you are away from home, safety is the most important to avoid being deceived and deceived. After staying in Yan 'an for two days, I was about to embark on my journey home. Yan 'an's airport was built on a mountain top. My father said it should be built on a mountain top. Looking at the Peak Airport, I thought of Hong Kong's seaside airport. One flew out from the top of the mountain to see the green mountains and valleys, and the other leaped from the beach to the sky above the sea to see the blue sea.

The 15-day journey of wandering outside ended just like this. The children were reluctant to part with them and said to play again. My parents couldn't play anymore. They had to go back to work and return to normal life. We can only look forward to next year's trip.

Attach a picture to everyone, how you can play along the Yellow River like this. Do you want to go somewhere because of a song? Do you want to go somewhere to see it just because you have read a book? Will you go to a place to try something delicious?
