    Manpu·See the real experience of Helan Performing Arts Town | Is the immersive journey worth rushing? 🌟 The overall experience summary The performing arts town that was swiped into the circle of friends finally punched in! Stayed here all day, there were amazing high-light moments, and also stepped on a few small thunders. The sisters collected this real evaluation ~ ✨ must praise the flash point 1. The immersive performance ceiling 20+ live performances are seamless! "Xiaguxing" in the darts and the wall of the martial arts fighting superbly, "Lingzhou Huimeng" ancient costume group drama directly dragged me into the Shengtang! The most amazing thing is that the NPC will interact randomly. It was really a surprise when the "Ancient Princess" took a photo. The evening's main show "Helan Mountain Festival" was a special effect. Sitting in the audience felt like watching a movie blockbuster! 2. The seven theme blocks with a 100% film rate have their own characteristics! Under the ancient city wall, the atmosphere is large, and the lantern-filled Diannong Ancient Street is super suitable for wearing Hanfu to shoot the night scene. I specially wore a cheongsam to the light and shadow promenade of the wine museum, and I asked the address in the circle of friends! 3. One-stop holiday super worry-free hot spring hotel package is superb, tired to play directly to relax; non-legacy block can experience hand-made He Lanxuan, give girlfriends with gifts super suitable; Sisters with children can store the children in the children's play center, and go to the wine tasting hall to take a micro-check of the ~ ⚠️ Avoid the pit guide 1. Remember the performance time! Some popular venues need to occupy seats in advance. It is recommended to take the performance schedule to plan the route first, otherwise it is easy to miss the program you want to see. 2. Weekend people in the crowd! If you want to take pictures comfortably, try to choose a working day or a staggered peak in the morning, and the experience of the tour group gathering after 3 pm will be discounted. 3. The park is large in size and wear comfortable shoes! Although there is a shuttle bus, it is inevitable to walk 20,000 steps to the food red and black list. Must eat recommendation - Huaiyuan Sightseeing Night Market Snacks: Huaiyuan Night Market, which is re-engraved in Yinchuan's super-fire, is in the park! Rolled cold skin sour and hot appetizer, spicy strips wrapped in roasted bran skin to lame feet, rose bran milk flavor is strong, dessert control closed eyes! - Helan Mountain Wild Mushroom Noodle: Fresh eyebrows soup base! The mushrooms are tender and chewy, the noodles are full of soup and super flavorful, and the portion is super large for two people to share food ~- Xixia roasted whole lamb: a must for dinner! The outer skin is roasted golden and crispy, and the secret cumin is fragrant to the bones. There is also a Mongolian girl singing and dancing on the spot to help the fun, and the sense of ritual is full! Try carefully - some snack stalls are too expensive, it is recommended to compare a few more before starting; Individual net red punching shops take pictures, but the taste is general, avoid following the wind and stepping on the thunder ~ 💌 intimate Tips for girls ✔️ Wearing Hanfu/cheongsam to make more films. There are rental shops in the park but the holiday style may not be complete. It is recommended to bring your own ✔️ with makeup! The night view lighting is super beautiful, but sweating and dissemblance will affect the value of the petal bath ball in the hot spring area. When you are in the bath, remember to find the staff to collect it. The atmosphere is directly full! In general, if you want to experience the romance of crossing the millennium, or if your girlfriends group to shoot blockbusters in ancient style, it is definitely worth rushing! It is recommended to enter the park at 3 pm, go shopping during the day, take pictures, watch the show at night, unlock

    It's completely borrowed from "A Chinese Odyssey" The environment and facilities of the scenic spot are very average, and the road surface of the parking lot is not hardened and bumpy. The scenic spot is roughly divided into three areas, Ming City, Qing City and Yinchuan Retro Old Street. Because of the climate. The wind and sand are very dusty. Just come and go.

    I didn't have much hope for this scenic spot, it was a prop scene, and I reported a day trip group. After entering, there will be a free tour guide explanation at a fixed time, but I didn't expect the whole escort free explanation, and the speech is very good, one is nearly 3 hours, very responsible, I remember it seems to be the 27th commentator, like a big praise.

    The estate is well-maintained. Just in time for the autumn harvest, the grapes were already on the vines, ready for harvest. The staff even invited us to taste one! The tasting room is very impressive, and on Saturdays, quite a few people came to visit and sample the wines. It was a great activity for a visit to Yinchuan.

    It's definitely worth a visit, especially since admission is free in December; you only need to pay for the sightseeing bus. It's not crowded, so the experience is great. You can take your time and enjoy the spectacular views of the Helan Mountains. I regret not watching a documentary about the Western Xia Dynasty beforehand.
