Go wild in Yinchuan’s nature and history blend! 🌞🌳

#hellohalloween

Stunning rivers, unique trees, and open sky views meet ancient tombs and lively city spots – this itinerary is perfect for those who love the outdoors, photogenic scenery, and a dash of culture.

Start at The Western Xia Mausoleum (Helan Mountain), where desert meets emerald fields. Follow the main path for panoramic shots framing centuries-old tombs against blue skies; sunrise or late afternoon is best for golden lighting. Must-do: visit the exhibition halls for relics and the viewing platform for expansive Gobi views. Bring sunscreen and water (shade is scarce!) – and if you love quiet landscapes, get here before 9 AM to beat tourist groups.

Next, head to the iconic Drum Tower (Downtown Yinchuan), perfect for capturing Yinchuan’s city pulse. Snap the landmark with historic streets in the background; the tower looks epic from the crossroads! Inside, explore each floor’s history displays. It’s a busy junction—keep an eye out for traffic when aiming for that perfect shot.

Wander to NiuJie for vibrant street life and authentic eats. If you’re into street photography or unique trees lining the road, this area pops with color and local energy, especially in late afternoon sun. Don’t miss the nearby South Gate Mosque for a quick cultural detour.

Finish at China-Arab Axle (Fengdeng Town). The open axis and surrounding ponds make for stylized nature shots—ideal for lovers of wide landscapes and geometric lines. Evenings are magical here, reflecting sunlight off water and fresh greenery.

Tips: Distances between stops are best covered by car/taxi. Dress for sunny explorations, pack spare batteries for all those outdoor snaps, and take a breather in riverside shade whenever possible!
