Top ten must-visit attractions in Ningxia. Which places have you visited?

I know this! I have worked and lived in Ningxia for three years and know it very well. Now I will share the information on the top ten must-see attractions in Ningxia with friends who need it~

1. Chengtian Temple Tower

Introduction

Inside Chengtian Temple The ancient pagoda towering in the clouds in the middle is the Chengtian Temple Pagoda, known as the "West Pagoda". It is the tallest brick pagoda among more than 100 existing ancient pagodas in Ningxia. It is the only ancient pagoda in Ningxia that has documented records of its founding year. .

The gate of Chengtian Temple opens towards the east, which is different from most temples in the Central Plains that "sit north and face south". This may be related to the Xixia people's worship of the east or the sun. After entering the gate, the main buildings such as the Five Buddha Hall, the Pagoda, the Wei Tuo Hall, and the Reclining Buddha Hall are located on the east-west central axis. Each building is connected by small doors and walls, forming a courtyard within a courtyard. , there are very simple brick-carved hanging flowers on the small door. Climb up the Chengtian Temple Tower, which is more than 60 meters high, and you can overlook the old city of Yinchuan through the open window. Around the Chengtian Pagoda, there are six old locust trees that are more than 400 years old. They complement the exquisite carvings on the screen wall and are full of simplicity.
