Treasures of the Frontier! 3 Must-Visit Attractions in Yinchuan

Treasures of the Frontier! 3 Must-Visit Attractions in Yinchuan: Travel through the Western Xia Dynasty, encounter cinematic legends, and experience a romantic wine town at night! Pack history, movies, and tipsy delights all in one trip!

Western Xia Mausoleum: Unravel the millennium-old mysteries of an empire. Nine imperial tombs and over 200 satellite tombs sprawl at the foot of the Helan Mountains like an epic poem of the earth. Standing before the ruins of Tomb No. 3 (the resting place of Li Yuanhao, founding emperor of Western Xia), the howling wind echoes with the neighing of warhorses, while the yellow sands whisper the rise and fall of the Tangut people.

Western Film Studio in Zhenbeibao: Step into a dream factory of cinematic legends. Relive 200+ iconic movie scenes, from the farewell kiss on the city wall in "A Chinese Odyssey" to the spider cave and the winery in "Red Sorghum." The sword of Zixia Fairy and the moonlight are forever captured here! Wander through Qingcheng Escort Agency and Mingcheng Horse Ranch—every step is a frame from film history.

Manpu Wine Town: A romantic utopia beneath the Helan Mountains, where wine, performances, and hot springs create a "Little Europe on the Frontier!" By day, explore art galleries and savor award-winning wines from the eastern foothills of Helan Mountain. At night, the real spectacle begins: the immersive show "See Helan" features 168 NPCs roaming the streets, recreating Silk Road caravans and dueling swordsmen in a 420-minute journey through a Western Xia market (don't miss "Silk Road Spectacle"!). Stroll through the food street with bubbling spicy hot pot, crispy imperial beef pies, and sweet fermented rice milk tea—the same vibrant flavors as Huaiyuan Night Market.
