Ningxia People Teach You the Most Cost-effective Shapotou Travel Guide.

【Introduction】: As a person from Ningxia, today I want to recommend a tourist spot in my hometown - Shapotou. Here are some of my little secrets for playing in Shapotou; 🕘【Travel Time】: Regarding the travel season, the four seasons in the northwest are distinct, and the time with green leaves is suitable for travel all year round! Regarding the travel duration, the travel season in Shapotou is from June to October. 💴【About Travel】: Enter from the Yellow River area, you can choose a speedboat or walk into the desert area. I walked in, feeling that the journey was not long and I could enjoy the scenery along the way. When you reach the bottom of the slope, you can choose to take a cable car to the top of the slope and experience the Yellow River zipline. Since I am afraid of heights, I directly chose the elevator to reach the top of the slope. After reaching the top of the slope, take a bus into the desert area. When you reach the desert area, you can take photos, ride camels, and play off-road vehicles! After the desert area tour, you can choose to return to the Yellow River area and then take a sheepskin raft back to the exit; It is recommended that if you are not afraid of heights and like excitement, the Yellow River zipline is definitely a choice you will not regret. You can skip the speedboat, but it is recommended to experience the sheepskin raft! ⛺【About Transportation】: If you come from outside the province, you can fly directly to Zhongwei. I checked the ticket prices and they are acceptable, but I think flying to Yinchuan is faster and cheaper. If you depart from Yinchuan and only want to visit the Shapotou scenic spot, it is recommended to join a tour group. It takes 2.5 hours to reach the Shapotou scenic spot directly! It is convenient and saves money, so it is more cost-effective to join a tour group; 🚌【Food Guide】: The Zhongwei night market is a must-visit, highly recommended. Yellow River carp, hand-grabbed mutton, barbecue, and lamb offal soup are all worth trying! After I went home, I had a barbecue with my friends. Ningxia's lamb is delicious no matter how it is cooked! 👉【About Accommodation】: You can choose to stay in Yinchuan or Zhongwei. Staying in Yinchuan is suitable for those who want to play for one day, with more accommodation options. Staying in Zhongwei, you can choose a homestay near Shapotou, but the price is high and needs to be booked in advance. Staying in Zhongwei is more cost-effective, and you can also visit the Zhongwei night market to taste delicious food. The Zhongwei night market is one of the famous snack streets in Ningxia. Suggestion: If you have enough time, I still recommend staying in Zhongwei, which is both cost-effective and allows you to taste snacks and experience local culture. 🧡【Preparation Before Travel】: Shapotou is very sunny and windy, so umbrellas are not practical. It is recommended to bring sunglasses and a sun hat! Be sure to wear high-top shoes, preferably Martin boots. I wore low-top sneakers and kept getting sand in them. Finally, I bought shoe covers to save myself. You must bring water to Shapotou, but the water in the scenic area is very expensive, so it is recommended to bring more water; If you have any questions, please leave a message in the comment section. A great place for leisure.
