What are the famous tourist attractions in northwest China?

For a long time, people prefer to visit the beautiful scenery and bustling cities of the Central Plains. But with the passage of time, many people are tired of such scenery and look to distant places, such as the western regions. Different from the Central Plains, the western regions are mostly desolate, sparsely populated and filled with yellow sand. In ancient times, only some border fortresses were built here to defend against foreign enemies. At present, the famous tourist attraction in northwest China is Zhenbeibao Western Cinema.

Zhenbeibao Western Cinema, located in Yinchuan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, is a national 5A-level tourist attraction with typical primitive, rough and desolate features beyond the Great Wall. Built in the Ming Dynasty, it was called "Zhenbeibao" and was used as a frontier fortress. In the 1990s, with the development of film and television industry in China, the primitive environment here became the shooting place of many film and television dramas.

For example, Stephen Chow's A Chinese Odyssey and Zheng Xiaolong's Red Sorghum were filmed here. The success of these films made this desolate place suddenly famous and gradually developed into an important tourist attraction in the northwest of China. Up to now, the props and scenes used in A Chinese Odyssey and Red Sorghum are still preserved in Zhenbeibao West Studios, and even a film archive and a screening hall have been built.

Here, you can greatly feel the scenery beyond the Great Wall and the unique terrain in the northwest. At present, two ancient cities built in Ming and Qing Dynasties are preserved here, mainly as military fortresses, with barracks and various buildings. In addition, in 20 12, the "Old Yinchuan Street" was built here, and various shops and streets were built on both sides of the street, which perfectly showed the style of the old city.

Outside the broken wall of the ancient city is the famous Yanmenguan. Bronze horses and sergeants are arranged neatly and flags are flying, giving people the impression that soldiers are guarding the border, and they are passionate and heroic. Almost every dynasty's famous soldiers fought bloody battles here and made immortal contributions, which went down in history.

When you stand on the gate tower and look at the scenery outside the Great Wall, you can't help feeling that "the desert is lonely and the long river sets the yen", but when you think that it was once a battlefield to resist foreign enemies, there is another passion, "Only make the Dragon City fly, don't teach Huma to cross the shady mountain".

If you yearn for the scenery outside the Great Wall of the studio in the west of Zhenbeibao, you must come here to feel it seriously. Ming and Qing military fortress, the shooting place of A Chinese Odyssey, and the unique scenery beyond the Great Wall. I wonder what you think of this place. Welcome to leave your footprints in the message area.
