    Most people might just visit the Corner Tower ruins and leave. My family of three walked around the west city for about an hour. The path was relatively easy to follow (there were some dirt roads), not crowded, and we even saw the archaeologists at work. It was a wonderful experience. I really enjoyed the site and it deepened my understanding of the Sixteen Kingdoms period.

    A great place to see authentic archaeology. The Soldier Cave is highly recommended. Unfortunately, I missed the show due to lack of time. The camel ride was affordable. The so-called special transportation options, aside from the tractor, were just average. The museum and the Soldier Cave offer free guided tours, which was highly recommended.

    I visited Wave Valley using the 'Round-trip Shuttle Bus to Wave Valley' option on the Trip.com app, as a found it difficult to find a shuttle from Yulin (IMPORTANT NOTE: The price quoted for this trip is leaving from Yan'an, buuuuuut when the tour company contacted me they told me they also had a car in Yulin, the price was just a bit higher). My driver arrived ten minutes prior to our departure time, abd the drive there and back was smooth and relaxed. Wave valley itself is larger than I thought, and so spent a happy three hours walking around and taking countless photos. The rock forms and colours are truly magnificent, and on my visit (August 14) there were some small wildflowers in bloom scattered about. The glass bridge costs extra and is interesting enough, but honestly I was more impressed with it after I was down on the valley floor and looking up at it - at that point I fully appreciated its incline and length. The cracking glass sound effect was scary at first, then fun.

    The scenery is similar to the Oasis Grand Canyon, but the victory is less crowded. I went there in early January. The scenic spot was temporarily closed, but I went in to play after communicating with the staff. The two people felt really good at booking, so they didn't have to wait for others. It’s not the kind that you don’t have to wait for others to take you after you take it, but how you want to take it, choose the theme and angle to choose the composition, and don’t worry about other people’s mirroring. Also, tickets are also exempt.

    Ningxia Geological Museum is very close to the Ningxia Museum. There are many coal-related minerals in the exhibition hall. Maybe this is also related to the origin of this museum. Many of the exhibits inside are donated by Shenhua Group.

    As the sun sets, the arc-shaped buildings imitating the Colosseum are dyed warm orange, and the sparkling lake reflects the silhouette of Helan Mountain. The mountain on the first light of the lantern is like a quiet castle, healing every light-seeker with a gentle twilight. 📍 It is recommended to arrive before 6 pm, and the observation deck on the west side can have a panoramic view of the lakes and mountains. Park is free and cost-effective
