The Western Xia Mausoleum is also known as the Western Xia Emperor Mausoleum and the Western Xia Emperor Mausoleum. Wangling is located in the west of Yinchuan City, Ningxia, west of Helan Mountain, east of Yinchuan Plain, between 1130 meters and 1200 meters above sea level. It is one of the largest existing imperial cemeteries in China and the most complete ground sites. It is also the largest existing Xixia cultural site. The scenic spot covers an area of more than 58 square kilometers, the core scenic spot 20.9 square kilometers, distributed 9 imperial tombs, more than 270 royal tombs of the accompanying tombs, the scale is magnificent, the layout is strict. Each imperial tomb is a rectangular independent building group, the scale is comparable to the Ming Tombs. Since the absorption of Qin and Han, the director of the Tang and Song Dynasty Mausoleums, forming a unique form in the Chinese cemetery architecture, is the first national archaeological site park in Ningxia. Xixia Wangling Mausoleum tickets are 68 yuan, sightseeing car is 20 yuan, online shopping includes sightseeing car 85 yuan. The actual arrival of the navigation Xixia Mausoleum is the southeast gate of the Xixia Mausoleum. This gate should be the entrance of the scenic spot of the Xixia Wang Mausoleum, but now it is closed and closed. The correct navigation should be entered into the "Xixia Museum". According to analysis, before entering the scenic spot from the southeast gate, it was the old Xixia Museum, and then you can go straight to the No. 3 Ling to visit. Most tourists may visit by walking. Maybe the old Xixia Museum can't meet the needs? In June this year, the new Xixia Museum opened, and the new visitor center was also built here. Of course, it is far from the site area. The scenic spot has a sightseeing car of 20 yuan, which 20 yuan also has to be spent. According to the introduction, the whole journey is 20km, but actually only to the No. 3 Mausoleum, the distance is more than 7km. The return trip does not take the original road, it should not exceed 3km, it feels a bit pit. Tour route, sightseeing car destination is No. 3 Ling, detour around, you can see many large and small Ling Towers, with Helan Mountain as the background, the magnificent northwest scenery. There are two kinds of sightseeing cars, the bus and the windowless battery sightseeing car. It is recommended to take the battery sightseeing car on the way. The photos are taken on the battery sightseeing car. The terminal where the sightseeing bus arrives is the No. 3 Mausoleum, which is the tomb of Xixia Kai Emperor Li Yuanxuan. The Wang Mausoleum is particularly large, and the protected Yuecheng site can also see the outline. From the No. 3 Ling, you can go to the No. 1 and No. 2 Shuangling to see. You need to rent a bicycle to go. It is 10 yuan/hour and not expensive. Cycling is also very good.

    I have always been interested in the history of Xixia, but there are too few things to record. Xixia Museum and Xixia Mausoleum site are very recommended. The wind and sand were very large on the day of the visit, and I also experienced the Gobi Beach of the northwest sky and yellow sand.

    If you are interested in the mysterious Xixia, it is recommended to take a look. You can have a sense of participation and know the meaning of the mound. If you don't like history, you can visit the museum. There is free explanation.

    Come to Yinchuan to see the Tomb of Xixia Wang and experience the desolation unlike the mainland.

    The construction period of the Xixia Wangling Mausoleum was from the beginning of the 11th to the beginning of the 13th century. The Xixia Wangling Mausoleum was influenced by Buddhist architecture, which combined the Han culture, Buddhist culture and Party Xiang culture, forming a unique form in the Chinese cemetery architecture. Among the 119 key national scenic spots in China, Xixia Mausoleum is the only scenic spot composed of a single imperial tomb. It undertakes the history of Tuo's from Xianbei Wei Pingcheng to Dangxiang Xixia.

    In winter, there are not many people in Yinchuan, and there are basically no people in Xixia Mausoleum! ! Visit the museum first, and then there is a sightseeing car to visit the Mausoleum. At present, the No. 3 Mausoleum is open to the outside world, and there is a feeling of chartering! ! !

    It's really shocking. If there is a tour guide or can keep up with the explanation, it is another experience. If you can, it is really recommended to bring a guide. In addition, you can save the package at the door, and you have to save the package and go there, otherwise it will be tired enough to go through the backpack in a day. I met other guides in the next few days. When I went to the desert to pass by Shuangling + Helan Mountain, I felt really different. (The suggestion that you like to take pictures and punch in is in the corridor at the door, it is beautiful)

    The first stop of the trip to Ningxia, Zhongwei Shapotou, chose this itinerary for comprehensive consideration, and the result exceeded expectations! The driver and tour guide, Master Cao, not only arranged the itinerary very efficiently, but also patiently output the sense of knowledge and feelings, so that we can have a deeper understanding. The trip coincided with the ticket policy discount, and the travel agency was also very friendly to inform and return it. In addition, the Yellow River is not yellow, which is a bit interesting. ~ In short, I will recommend it to my friends.
