The desolation that is barren in the eyes of others is the home I think about day and night
How can you miss "Helan Mountain" when you come to Yinchuan
Not for anything else, just the name of Helan Mountain that is closely connected with history, it is worth a visit.
Besides, you can see different mountain landscapes, special address rock layers, and rock sheep running all over the ground.
Helan Mountain is the boundary mountain between the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region,
It used to be the natural barrier of the Central Plains dynasty, blocking the invasion of the northwestern nomadic tribes.
In ancient times, northern minorities such as the Huns, Xianbei, Turks, Uighurs, Tibetans, Dangxiang, etc. grazed and hunted here, multiplied and thrived, and it is still a multi-ethnic mixed living area for Han, Hui, Mongolian, Manchu, etc.
Helan Mountain is majestic and desolate, the rock sheep with protective colors all over their bodies are agile, their bodies are strong, their vitality is vigorous, under the second level of protection, the rock sheep are all over the mountains and can be seen everywhere‼️
Scenic spot
✅Helan Mountain Ba Si Kou Twin Towers Scenic Area opens:
Open from February 13, 2024:
Opening hours: 9:30 to 17:30
Tickets🎫: Free
Ba Si Kou Twin Towers is about 50 kilometers away from the city of Yinchuan. It is the most complete preserved Xixia Buddhist pagoda in China. It has a history of about 1,000 years and is a rare art treasure in the history of Chinese Buddhist pagoda architecture.
10 kilometers west of Ba Si Kou, in the Ba Si Kou Gully, there used to be a four-sided thirteen-story square tower. In 1991, the Ningxia Archaeological Department organized experts to clean up the ruins of the Ba Si Kou square tower. A large number of small mud towers, small mud Buddhas and dozens of precious cultural relics such as Xixia and Han Buddhist scriptures and documents were unearthed. Especially the Xixia Buddhist scriptures "Jixiang Bian Zhi Kou He Ben Xu" that were unearthed caused a sensation at the time. This sutra is the only printed butterfly-bound Xixia Buddhist sutra in China. It is the earliest wooden movable type printed object discovered in the world so far. The discovery of this cultural relic has advanced the invention and use of wooden movable type in our country by nearly a hundred years, that is, from the traditional Yuan to the Xixia, thus ending the history of our country in the Song Dynasty only having movable type printing records but no physical evidence, and strongly proving that one of our country's "Four Great Inventions" "Movable type printing" originated from the fact of the Song Dynasty in China.

I think it's one of the most worthwhile places to go in Yinchuan.
The cable car that goes up and down the mountain, the cable car is very old. After going up the mountain, I walked to the rabbit pit. The air there was very fresh. I saw the wild rock sheep, which was small. However, the weather on May 1st is particularly cold, so pay attention to keep warm.
The scenery is very good. The first time I went to climb the mountain, although it was a bit tormented, but after climbing up, the scenery was very good. The process of going down the mountain also felt easier. There were more people to eat.
Stepping through the Helan Mountains, drunk in the sand field. Standing on Helan Mountain, you can experience the Haomai and roughness of the northwest. The scenic spot is equipped with a cable car, saving time and effort. You can also see the rock sheep and stand on the cliff.
This is an extremely fascinating attraction. It takes only about 10 minutes to get deep down the rugged mountain road by the scenic shuttle bus. As you begin your hike at the foot of the mountain, you will find yourself in a picturesque natural world. The scenery along the way is beautiful, as if every step is showing you the magic of nature. Even more surprising is that you can even see the rock sheep walking leisurely in the forest, their presence adds a vivid and wild color to the attraction. And the day happened to snow, the whole world seemed to become a fairy tale painting, white and flawless, beautiful, people as if in a dreamy world.
There is a peach blossom at the entrance of the scenic spot, the flowers are brilliant, fragrant and beautiful. The scenic spot has a cableway up the mountain, which is convenient and fast.
The reservation is very convenient, the itinerary is very reasonable, Helan Mountain is very good, the scenery is good, and the experience is good. The scenic spots along the route are very beautiful. Although there is snow in the mountains, the experience is different and the beauty is different. I will come again next time.
Helanshan National Park, a very magical landform style, through the tour, more understanding of Helanshan's history and culture, reproduce the customs and national habits of the northwest people, it is worth a visit.
