A group of 4 people (my mother, my husband, my baby, and I)

Yinchuan, Zhongwei and Xi'an played for a total of 9 days

The specific itinerary is as follows:

Day 1: South Gate Square, Zhongshan Park, Drum Tower, Pedestrian Street

Flying from Changsha to Yinchuan, get off the plane and take a taxi to Yinchuan 101 Express Hotel. The hotel was booked online in advance, which is relatively cheap. The reservation was only 358 yuan for 4 nights. The hotel is in Laocheng District, just next to Nanmen Square. The four of us would probably be in our sixties by taking a taxi. The airport bus seems to cost 20 yuan per person. If you go alone, you can take the airport bus. Get off at the Civil Aviation Building and walk to the hotel. It is not far away.

After the hotel packed its luggage, we went to Nanmen Square next to it and saw the so-called "Little Tiananmen Square"

When I went to Nanguan Mosque again, it turned out that it was closed due to the epidemic. I originally planned to visit Nanguan Mosque, Chengtian Temple Pagoda, and Haibao Pagoda. Due to the epidemic, all temples cannot be entered. It is a pity. I went to Ningxia Niu Street next door to find a restaurant where I ate chop suey for lunch, and four people ordered a bowl of chop suey (because I didn't know if I was used to the food when I went to the northwest for the first time, I ordered a bowl and tried it first, and placed an order again if I could) It proved that the decision was correct. I couldn't eat it anymore. It was so sexy!!! Seeing the sheep's head ordered on the table next to me and eating it with gusto, I had the urge to order, but I was stopped by them: Can't you see that their onions are eaten raw in a large one? You can't even eat onions raw. You can't stand the disgusting smell of mutton chop suey. It's not a waste if you order it and no one eats it. Okay ~~ I agreed and thought I would definitely try ordering a sheep's head next time, haha. Yogurt and twist snacks are good ~~

After dinner, I took the bus to Zhongshan Park (it was not included in the itinerary because it was only half a day in the afternoon, and it was too rushed to go to other attractions) Zhongshan Park has a good view, suitable for leisure walks, and it is quite big inside. Moreover, there is a zoo inside, and the ticket is only 20 yuan! Although the animal species are not as good as large zoos, the 20-yuan ticket is worth it, and children love it. There is also a square where you can feed pigeons, and the pigeon food is not expensive, only 2 yuan per bag.

Taking care of children means choosing to be leisurely, not following a group, and not rushing for time. After playing in Zhongshan Park, I paid 7 yuan to go to the pedestrian street, watched the Drum Tower, went shopping, ate snacks, and then walked back to the hotel. I really couldn't get used to going to Xianhe Tower for dinner in the evening. The special dish, hand-grabbed mutton, couldn't eat it after taking a bite. The taste was too strong. It's better to eat at the South Gate Square Night Market. The barbecue mutton kebabs are only 2.5 yuan each. The roasted oysters (recommended as the first place to enter the door) The oysters are delicious and fresh! Flower Jia vermicelli also tastes good. You can also watch the square dance when you go to Nanmen Square at night...

Day 2: Zhenbeibao Western Cinema, Helan Rock Painting

The hotel walks a few minutes to the bus stop and takes the bus (No. 316 ticket is 1 yuan) to Yinchuan Tourist Bus Station. It was originally planned to go to Shahu today, but there is only one bus to Shahu, and the departure time is 9:30. We went early and arrived after eight o'clock, but we changed our plan at the last minute. It was a good idea to go to Zhenbeibao Western Cinema (ticket price was 80 yuan). It was quite innovative for our first visit to a place like Northwest. It would take several hours to walk around without stopping. We didn't come out until noon, and then we took Didi (25 yuan) to go to Helan Rock Painting (ticket price is 70 yuan). The scenery on the way was still good. We just went to the scenic spot after seeing the rock paintings, and I felt that there was no need to go, so I wasn't interested in this rock painting, haha. Catch the tourist bus at 3 p.m.(15 yuan), take it back to the city, and then take a drip (7 yuan) back to the hotel (you can ask the conductor on the tourist bus that you are going to Nanmen Square and ask her to get you off at a place where there is a bus slightly closer to Nanmen Square)

The following one was taken on the road to Helan Rock Painting

Rock paintings (there is a Rock Art Museum and Han Meilin Art Museum inside. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. We did go in, but we were not interested, so we took a quick look)

Day 3: Sand Lake

After knowing the departure time of the tourist bus station yesterday, I went to bed later today when I went to Shahu and arrived at the tourist bus station at nine o'clock.

Sand Lake is half lake and half sand. First take a boat, pass through patches of reed fields and then reach the desert. You can play various events, including sand skiing, desert cross-country, camel, paragliding and so on. Because we planned to go to Shapotou, Zhongwei later, we played a sand skiing event (30 yuan). Later, when we came to Shapotou, we learned that the sand skiing in Shahu is only suitable for children, haha. The tourist bus leaves at 3:00 p.m. or 3:30 p.m. and then takes it back to the tourist bus station (20 yuan)

The day we went was hot and the sand burned our feet, so you must wear your shoes properly! There are also desert shoe covers that you can buy in advance online and bring over. I didn't buy it, but I didn't think it would have much effect, and I just wanted to experience it, haha

Day 4: Xixia Style Garden

I originally planned to go to Shuidonggou, because I heard from locals that Shuidonggou is similar to Shahu, and I planned to go to Shapotou, which is also sand, and the activities to play are the same. There is no need to go to Shuidonggou anymore. So I temporarily changed my plan and went to the Xixia Style Garden (ticket price is 60 yuan). Just take the bus directly (take the brt1 at the entrance of the hotel to Fuzhou Street, and directly turn to 108 at the place where you get off to the first and last bus stops in Xixia Square). The journey is relatively long, it takes 1 hour and 50 minutes, but it is cheap (2 yuan), haha

The Xixia Style Garden is actually not big. The only thing worth seeing is the war horse performance.(11:00 a.m., 4:30 p.m.), we were lucky to catch the 11:00 a.m. performance. After watching the performance, we could experience horse riding (30 yuan). I experienced it and specifically told people to ride faster. I wanted to ride more handsome, but I slapped my face and felt like I was going to be thrown off the horse. I couldn't step on the boot at all. My butt felt like it was in the air. If I hadn't grasped it tightly, I would have fallen off. But it's quite good to experience it. The key is to participate and feel it, haha. The child only experienced pottery, and the fee was 30 yuan. There is also a place to eat inside, and the taste is okay. There are also wineries where you can taste the wine and see the vineyards where the wine is made. There was nothing else to shop, and many shops were not open, so I came back early in the afternoon.

Day 5: Bao 'an Temple, Gaomiao, Zhongwei, Tonghu Grassland in Alxa Left Banner, Inner Mongolia

Train tickets booked one day in advance from Yinchuan to Zhongwei

Xiangshan Xiushui Hotel booked one day in advance (next to the train station)

I rented a car one day in advance and picked it up at Zhongwei Railway Station

It rained, so walk for 1 minute after getting off the train. Arrive at the hotel, pack your luggage, and then rest for dinner. I found a beef bone gnawing shop-Sulai Specialty beef bone gnawing shop. Their beef bone gnawing is very good, but I am not used to eating shallot (too much vinegar), Babao tea is too sweet! After dinner, I went back to the hotel to take a nap and then went to Gaomiao Bao 'an Temple. I could enter it, but the temple inside couldn't be entered. It was closed to the epidemic. The view inside is quite good. After picking up the car at 4 o'clock, I drove directly to Tonghu Grassland. This was the first time I saw the grassland and saw cattle, sheep and horses eating grass. I was a little excited ~~ Tonghu Grassland also has deserts, and then I mainly watched the performance at night (by the way, online booking for the Tonghu Grassland Plus performance one day in advance is 150 yuan, and if you don't book in advance, it will be 180 yuan) I watched a lot of performances, and it rained a little again, so I felt that the performance was just so ordinary, but it has a bonfire dance, you can go up and dance around the bonfire to feel the atmosphere.

(Note: It's best to rent a car. It's late after watching the show, so I always come back by bus or car. The road is very empty. If I travel freely and don't rent a car, I'm afraid of difficulty getting a car back)

There are yurts inside and places to eat. You can use hot pot buffet or order food. We ordered grilled lamb chops, basa fish, etc. Roast lamb chops are better than hand-grabbed mutton. At least the roasted lamb is not so sexy ~~)

Day 6: Zhongwei Shapotou

Because we have already gone to the sand lake in front of us, connected to the lake and grassland, and have already seen the desert, it is not so novel. It was just because my father went where he became popular in Shapotou, and it was difficult to come here once, so I had to go and see it.

There are many set tickets in Shapotou. Buy different set tickets depending on what event you want to play. We booked in advance online for 285 yuan including tickets, speedboat and raft combination, sand skiing, desert surfer bike, desert camel, battery car, glass bridge, shuttle bus, desert ladder.

In fact, the items that can be experienced are: speedboat and kraft combination, sand skiing, desert surfing car, desert camel

Other glass bridges and other things are not interesting. Desert ladders are just escalators going up and down, just saving yourself from climbing.

If children are not old or under one meter, don't use a battery car at all. Just take a speedboat and return on a sheepskin raft.

After finishing Shapotou, I returned the car to the railway station (put it in the car when my luggage was returned in the morning) and then took the train back to Yinchuan. I booked in advance at Yinchuan's Ruihao Theme Hotel (Yinchuan Gulou Pedestrian Street Branch) The hotel is nearby on the pedestrian street where you can go shopping and eat. Because the plane was flying to Xi'an early the next morning, I went back to the hotel to rest without shopping.

Day 7: Xi'an Tang Furong Garden, Tang Dynasty never sleeps

Flying from Yinchuan to Xi'an in the morning (because there are relatives in Xi'an, I live at relatives 'homes) After arriving, I rest and have lunch before starting to visit Datang Furong Garden. Now it is free and you need to make an appointment on WeChat ~~ It is very big and the scenery is very nice. If you are interested, you can watch the evening performance at Datang Furong Garden (it's quite expensive, the ticket price is more than 300 yuan, and a few thousand in good areas). We didn't watch it, but the Datang Sleepless City (Xi'an's Pedestrian Street Bar) we went to at night was very beautiful! Beautiful! This building, this lighting... It's amazing! Among the cities I have been to, except for the seaside, if I still want to go inland, one is Chongqing, and the other is Xi'an!

Day 8: Terracotta Warriors, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Hui Street

Buy tickets online one day in advance to see the terracotta warriors. Many people said that they regretted not seeing the terracotta warriors when they came to Xi'an, and regretted even more after seeing the terracotta warriors. Haha, indeed, for people like us who don't understand, there's nothing to see. You can visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, recommend it! Huimin Street is a place to eat

Day 9: Seoul Lake Park

On the day I was coming back, I went for a walk in Seoul Lake, just to visit the park. My mother and my baby took ancient photos in Seoul Lake.

Nothing else, just a casual walk. After lunch outside, I came back and took a nap. After dinner in the evening, I flew back to Changsha.

What Xi'an eats is roujiamo, rice skin, rice noodles, mutton steamed buns, gourd chicken, etc. The taste is average, but I'm not used to it.

Want to ask me how my trip was? I will give you the look of a child and experience it for yourself, haha
