The grand canyon formed by the loess cliff is as deep as 10- 15 meters, which is quite special and shocking in the eyes of southerners. The canyon, which stretches for four kilometers, was originally formed naturally, but in the Ming Dynasty it became an important part of the defense system of the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty, and the magical Tibetan soldiers caves were distributed in it, winding in the footwall. The Tibetan soldier cave was the tunnel where the defenders ambushed in those days. It is connected from top to bottom and from left to right. There are many forks, back channels, traps and hidden weapons in the cave. Even if strangers break in, it's hard to get out. The light in the cave is dark, so there are no photos. Interested friends may wish to feel for themselves.
At the entrance of the scenic spot, in addition to the Shuidonggou Ruins Museum, there is also a "Shuidonggou Village", which imitates the living and lifestyle of primitive people and rebuilds various houses, including thatched sheds and cellars, so as to intuitively understand the living forms of ancestors. It's just that this "primitive man" wearing a leopard-print shirt makes people look a little dramatic, hahaha.
Tourists also have many interesting interactive experiences in Shuidonggou Village. Bow and feel the power of primitive archery, put on fluffy wig and fur armor, and be a vivid "primitive man" Primitive people's "drilling for fire" is quite strange to foreigners, eager to try to make fire, and the result ended in failure. Finally, the staff conducted a fire drill. Do you think you can drill wood to make a fire? Might as well try.
Behind the camel caravan for tourists is the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty. Although it is not as spectacular as the Badaling Great Wall in Beijing, the rammed Great Wall is quite special, and the towering beacon tower is clearly visible. If you have never ridden a camel, you can try it here. Personally, I would rather walk than ride, but it's a long way, and all my friends in the same industry choose to ride, so I can only follow.
Riding a camel to Hongshan Lake suddenly opened my eyes. It turns out that there is such a large water storage lake on the loess high slope. The clear lake reflects the blue of the sky, in sharp contrast with the surrounding loess cliffs, and the scenery is beautiful. Transfer to a cruise ship and wander around Hongshan Lake, where you can enjoy a special section of the Great Waterfront Wall, but the rammed Great Wall is almost as long as the loess cliff, which is quite difficult to distinguish.
After the cruise ship arrives at the Shazao Bay Pier, there is an ostrich paradise, where you can see big ostriches, as well as some entertainment facilities such as zip lines and amphibious vehicles. Then transfer to a donkey cart and walk on the red willow beach. The donkey cart has been seen many times on TV and movies, and it is the first time to experience it personally. Let's just say it feels particularly hahaha.
The unique scenery beyond the Great Wall may be common in the eyes of northwest people, but it is quite strange in the eyes of us southerners. In addition, the mysterious human site, the heavy Great Wall landscape, Shuidonggou is very close to Yinchuan city, only 19 km, with convenient transportation. No wonder there are so many tourists.
