First Stop in Taipei - Ning Xia night market

After long hours of flight, done for check in, our first stop was Ning Xia Night Market. A lots of food I miss, it’s time to enjoy night market’s good. It is walking distance from our hotel, which our hotel is walking distance from Taipei Main Station, about 10 minutes walk. Many choices here, just walk from beginning til the end. My personal suggestion is, if you see something that you would like to eat, just grab it. No need to have second walk, this will save a lot of time for queuing and crowded. Recommended Hua Da Hotel (Nan Xi), it is close to quite a few of attractions. #taiwan #huadahotelnanxi #awesomepic #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #ningxia

Ningxia!

In northern China lies the autonomous region of Ningxia which mostly characterised by sweeping sand dunes that go on for miles! I’ve been twice (January and June). In January, most of the desert and fresh water is completely frozen over which is quite surreal for a desert. 4X4 cars were able to drive over the oasis because it was so solidly frozen. In the summer, it can become quite warm but still comfortable enough to camp overnight. There are camel rides available although we chose to hike. Away from the same dunes, you can find wine vineyards and pretty mountains. A great place for nature lovers #ningxia #mountainview #deserts #china

Guyuan Ancient City

Location: Ningxia province. Getting there: A short train ride from Xi'an or Yinchuan city. This small city is not a tourist spot but it's one of my favourite cities to walk around in China. There is an ancient city wall, a bell tower to visit and some delicious BBQ meat places to eat. There is a good Atour hotel in the center of the city to stay in. Most of the sights are walkable so no need to worry about taxis or buses. #guyuan #ningxia

Helan Rocky Mountains!

Location: Helan Mountain Reserve near Yinchuan city in Ningxia province. Helan Mountain is a north-south mountain range located in the boundary of Ningxia and Inner Mongolia which is an important geographical boundary in northwestern China. It stretches 220 km (137 mi) from north to south. We took the cable car up and down. Not expensive and you get stunning views on the way. These mountains are unique and you can spend the whole day looking at the deers and watching the mountain tops. #helanmountain #yinchuan #ningxia

Colourful City Oasis

Location: Yinchuan city, Ningxia province. Chinese name: 阅海湾水上公园 English name: Yinchuan Water Park This park has a beautifully large lake that is stunning with the reflections of the buildings and flowers. I went several times at sunset to see the wonderful colours in the early summer evenings. Getting there: This lake is located in the center of Yinchuan city. Yinchuan is easily accessible via fast train and plane. #yinchuan #ningxia

The 66 Highway

Location: One hour from Zhongwei city in Ningxia province. Chinese name: 66号公路,中卫市沙坡头区 This is an Instagram worthy highway road that is absolutely breathtaking. The road winds through the rolling mountains and near the Yellow River, attracting tourists keen on its rough and beautiful scenery and gaining a reputation as Zhongwei’s ‘Route 66’, one of the most famous roads in America. #66highway #zhongwei #ningxia

Swan lake - red lake (Tengger desert tour)

Our 3day Tengger desert tour started from Yinchuan, the red lake had to be it's superhighlight😊 Well, you can compare real pictures (August) with the first one from the drone the tour guide shared (captured somewhen in spring) 😁 Still it was a superhighlight, though a bit (MUCH🤭) smaller than expected and overadvertised. The stop at the lake was a few hours (we had more time, as we rented camels to catch up with the rest of the group) The water and surface were extremely hot 🔥 Still recommend to have this great experience: not so many red lakes on the planet #redlake, #yinchuan #ningxia

Gaomiao Temple in Ningxia

Zhongwei (中卫) is a city in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Most people come here for the nearby Tanger dessert, but the city also has an interesting site: The Gaomiao Temple (高庙). It was originally built in the Ming dynasty during the early 1400s, this is one of the most unique temples in China, combining aspects of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism. There's also a room with +/- 170 sculptures of religious images. What makes it really stand apart from other temples is the addition of an underground hell house, with gruesome scenes depicting torture in hell. In walking distance to the temple is also the Drum Tower (鼓楼) - constructed in 1631, the drum tower is now in the center of a roundabout. In the surrounding area you can also find a lot of food and shops. 🎫 Ticket: Free. 🌍 Address: Directly in front of the train station. #culture #religiousculture #ningxia #summervacation

Took a trip out of the city to see China's northwest! Great way to spend the New Year holiday. Recommendations: 1. Desert Star Hotel (沙漠星星) it's about two hours from Yinchuan airport by high-speed rail and then taxi. Great sunrise views over the sand dunes! 2. Xipo Hostel in Shapotou. It has a very old west Americana vibe with an awesome little community. Also you can see parts of the old Great Wall 3. Route 66 … a 1km stretch of road that is very "instagrammable". Really only for the pictures, you can skip if it's not your thing. #newyearstrip #ningxia
