Shapotou Tourist Area
Spanning the golden banks of the Yellow River, it combines desert, Yellow River, mountains, and oasis all in one. The vast sea of sand and the Yellow River crossing create a magnificent northwest scenery as well as the picturesque beauty of the south. In winter, you can not only experience the tranquil desert landscape but also appreciate the spectacle described by Wang Wei: 'A solitary smoke straight in the vast desert, the sun setting over the long river.'
Shuidonggou Site
Xu Zhimo once wrote the verse 'The winter in the north is winter,' and the winter in Shuidonggou is vast and profound, with all the hustle and bustle gone, yet it remains tranquil and far-reaching, away from agitation and vanity, showcasing its charm in simplicity and desolation.
In winter, Zhenbeibao Western Film City exudes a sense of desolate grandeur. The north wind sweeps across the land, and this northern town embodies the bold spirit of the northwest desert. It is rugged, wild, and majestic, yet it is also imbued with a magical touch of everyday life.
Liupan Mountain
The sky is high and the clouds are light, watching the south-flying geese disappear. One is not a true hero until they reach the Great Wall, counting the journey of twenty thousand miles. On the peak of Liupan Mountain, the red flag flutters in the west wind. Today, with the long rope in hand, when will we bind the dragon? Liupan Mountain is one of the youngest mountain ranges in China.
Helan Mountain Rock Art Scenic Area
In winter, the Helan Mountain rock art is covered with white snow, standing tall and majestic. Occasionally, the 'elves of Helan Mountain', rock sheep, appear on the snow-covered mid-slopes, basking in the warm sunlight, leisurely and carefree.
Huangsha Ancient Ferry
In the winter, Huangsha Ancient Ferry fully displays the desolation and grandeur of the northern frontier. Upon entering, one can witness the majestic desert, the serene long river, the sunset painting the drifting ice, and the pure white winter snow. The northern scenery appears even more primitive and tranquil.
