[2025 Yinchuan Attraction] Travel Guide for Xi Xia Museum (Updated Jul)

Yinchuan, the capital of Ningxia, is a stunning yet under-the-radar destination that captivated me with its charm. This tidy, clean city boasts modern infrastructure and a refreshing lack of traffic, making it a joy to explore. Its unspoiled allure feels like a well-kept secret waiting to be discovered. The culinary scene here is a revelation. The local lamb, raised in the region’s vast grasslands, is tender and flavorful, stealing the show in dishes like steamed lamb served with vinegar sauce. I was surprised by how much I loved the spicy dishes infused with Sichuan peppers, which added a bold, numbing kick. The local yogurt, creamy and tangy, was a delightful treat I couldn’t get enough of. Pairing these flavors with Yinchuan’s world-class wines was a match made in heaven. With over 200 wineries in the Helan Mountain foothills, the region’s unique terroir shines in bottles like Lancui and Domain Helan Mountain Special Reserve. Visiting wineries like Chandon and Yanshi Vineyard is a must—their tasting rooms offer a deep dive into Ningxia’s burgeoning wine culture, with stunning vineyard views as a backdrop. The local night market is a vibrant highlight, buzzing with energy and packed with stalls serving delicacies like grilled lamb skewers. It’s the perfect spot to sip a cold beer, soak in the lively atmosphere, and pick up fresh fruits or other local produce to take home. For a dose of history, the Xixia Imperial Tomb Museum is essential. This UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its ancient mausoleums and fascinating exhibits, offers a glimpse into the mysterious Western Xia Dynasty, set against the dramatic Helan Mountains. Yinchuan is a destination that blends natural beauty, rich culture, and unforgettable flavors. From its traffic-free streets to its culinary gems and vibrant night market, this city deserves a spot on every traveler’s list. #yinchuan

Explore the Western Xia Mausoleums and Touch the Heavy Pulse of History "Ancient tombs are densely packed beneath Helan Mountain, their heights resembling floating duckweeds." As this ancient poem echoed in my mind, I finally stood before the Western Xia Mausoleums that I had longed to see. Upon entering the scenic area, the Western Xia Museum came into view. With its solemn and grand shape, the museum complements the continuous Helan Mountains, as if telling the story of the Western Xia's past glory. Inside the museum, more than 2,000 precious cultural relics are quietly displayed, from exquisite ceramic utensils to simple metal products, from exquisite paintings and calligraphy to mysterious Western Xia documents. Each piece carries historical memories, and behind each piece seems to hide an unknown story, which makes people can't help but stop and stare, and their thoughts drift to that distant era. With awe and curiosity, I walked into the Western Xia Mausoleum Site Area. Here, 9 imperial mausoleums and 271 tombs are scattered, with a grand scale and well-organized layout. Although the erosion of time has made them lose their former splendor, the tall rammed earth mausoleum platforms, the remaining sacred walls and steles still allow people to feel the majestic momentum of that year. Standing in front of Mausoleum No. 3, which is speculated to be the "Tailing Mausoleum" of Li Yuanhao, the founding emperor of Western Xia, the cemetery area covers an area of 150,000 square meters, making it the largest and best-preserved of the nine mausoleums. After thousands of years of wind and rain, the que platforms and mausoleum platforms still stand, as if silently guarding this land and witnessing the vicissitudes of history. Strolling through the mausoleum area, every inch of land under my feet seemed to be whispering, telling the story of the rise and fall of the Western Xia Dynasty. Western Xia, this mysterious dynasty established by the Dangxiang people, existed for only a short 190 years in the long river of history, but created a unique and splendid culture. They absorbed the strengths of the imperial mausoleums of the Tang and Song dynasties, and integrated the cultural characteristics of their own nation to create a unique mausoleum architectural form that perfectly integrates the Central Plains culture, Buddhist culture, and Dangxiang culture. The architectural craftsmanship of the Western Xia Mausoleums is also amazing. The mature rammed earth technology has allowed these buildings to stand for thousands of years. It is said that very little grass grows on the mausoleums, and plant roots have difficulty taking root in them, which shows the density of the rammed earth. From the unearthed cultural relics, whether it is the exquisitely shaped Kalavinka or the majestic glazed Chiwen, they all demonstrate the superb craftsmanship of Western Xia. The Western Xia Mausoleums are not just a group of mausoleums, but also a vivid history book and a precious treasure left to us by history. Here, I seem to travel through time and have a close dialogue with the Western Xia Dynasty thousands of years ago. It makes me understand that history has never gone far, and those lost civilizations still affect us in a unique way, inspiring us to constantly explore the past and cherish the present.

| Mysterious Ruins at the Foot of Helan Mountain. Western Xia Imperial Tombs | Mysterious Ruins at the Foot of Helan Mountain There was once a people who crossed mountains and rivers, and after hundreds of years, gradually migrated from the southeastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to northwestern China, where they grew and prospered. In 1038, they established the Western Xia Dynasty, a multi-ethnic empire that included the Tangut, Han, Uyghur, and Tibetan peoples. The Western Xia coexisted with the Song, Liao, and Jin dynasties for nearly 200 years, until it was conquered by the Mongol Empire in 1227. All that remains are the vast tombs, standing tall at the foot of Helan Mountain, gazing at the winding Yellow River. They have withstood the sands of time, shining brightly against the towering Helan Mountains, evoking a sense of nostalgia and longing for the past. 📌Tour Route: 1️⃣Western Xia Museum The museum has six exhibition halls, covering the history, culture, religion, art, and social economy of the Western Xia.
