Then at night, can visit Raohe St. Night Market, which is the oldest and unique night market for good food.
Day 4: Is Tamsui district day. Is a very relax walk by the famous Fisherman’s Wharf harbour. Enjoy some local delicacies, shopping for souvenirs and enjoy your walk along the riverbanks. At night can go to Ningxia night market for food.

First Stop in Taipei - Ning Xia night market
After long hours of flight, done for check in, our first stop was Ning Xia Night Market. A lots of food I miss, it’s time to enjoy night market’s good.
It is walking distance from our hotel, which our hotel is walking distance from Taipei Main Station, about 10 minutes walk.
Many choices here, just walk from beginning til the end. My personal suggestion is, if you see something that you would
like to eat, just grab it. No need to have second walk, this will save a lot of time for queuing and crowded.
Recommended Hua Da Hotel (Nan Xi), it is close to quite a few of attractions. #taiwan #huadahotelnanxi #awesomepic #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #ningxia
Ningxia!
In northern China lies the autonomous region of Ningxia which mostly characterised by sweeping sand dunes that go on for miles!
I’ve been twice (January and June). In January, most of the desert and fresh water is completely frozen over which is quite surreal for a desert. 4X4 cars were able to drive over the oasis because it was so solidly frozen. In the summer, it can become quite warm but still comfortable enough to camp overnight. There are camel rides available although we chose to hike.
Away from the same dunes, you can find wine vineyards and pretty mountains. A great place for nature lovers #ningxia #mountainview #deserts #china
Guyuan Ancient City
Location: Ningxia province.
Getting there: A short train ride from Xi'an or Yinchuan city.
This small city is not a tourist spot but it's one of my favourite cities to walk around in China.
There is an ancient city wall, a bell tower to visit and some delicious BBQ meat places to eat.
There is a good Atour hotel in the center of the city to stay in. Most of the sights are walkable so no need to worry about taxis or buses.

Helan Rocky Mountains!
Location: Helan Mountain Reserve near Yinchuan city in Ningxia province.
Helan Mountain is a north-south mountain range located in the boundary of Ningxia and Inner Mongolia which is an important geographical boundary in northwestern China. It stretches 220 km (137 mi) from north to south.
We took the cable car up and down. Not expensive and you get stunning views on the way.
These mountains are unique and you can spend the whole day looking at the deers and watching the mountain tops.

Colourful City Oasis
Location: Yinchuan city, Ningxia province.

The 66 Highway

The road winds through the rolling mountains and near the Yellow River, attracting tourists keen on its rough and beautiful scenery and gaining a reputation as Zhongwei’s ‘Route 66’, one of the most famous roads in America.

Swan lake - red lake (Tengger desert tour)
Our 3day Tengger desert tour started from Yinchuan, the red lake had to be it's superhighlight😊
Well, you can compare real pictures (August) with the first one from the drone the tour guide shared (captured somewhen in spring) 😁
Still it was a superhighlight, though a bit (MUCH🤭) smaller than expected and overadvertised.
The stop at the lake was a few hours (we had more time, as we rented camels to catch up with the rest of the group)
The water and surface were extremely hot 🔥
Still recommend to have this great experience: not so many red lakes on the planet

An amazing road in Zhongwei ☀️
This is one of the most beautiful roads in the desert of Zhongwei. This desert is located in the west of Ningxia autonomous region. This road is surrounded by mountains and it is a pleasure to walk along this street. Recommended to go early morning or late afternoon to avoid the extreme heat. #thisischina #ningxia #zhongwei
🍇Wine tasting in China🍷
Chinese wine is underrated!
Ningxia province hosts some of the best wines in the country.
You can have the opportunity to visit various wineries around this wine-filled province.
✨Make sure you make an appointment with the winery that you end up choosing.
✨You can rent a car or grab a Didi to the destination and talk with the driver to arrange the way back to the city as well.
✨You don’t have to go all the way to Europe for a unique wine tasting experience. You can taste incredible wines locally produced and discover the potential of Chinese wines.

Took a trip out of the city to see China's northwest! Great way to spend the New Year holiday.
Recommendations:
1. Desert Star Hotel (沙漠星星) it's about two hours from Yinchuan airport by high-speed rail and then taxi. Great sunrise views over the sand dunes!
2. Xipo Hostel in Shapotou. It has a very old west Americana vibe with an awesome little community. Also you can see parts of the old Great Wall
3. Route 66 … a 1km stretch of road that is very "instagrammable". Really only for the pictures, you can skip if it's not your thing.
