to Mr.Mu Sheng:
yes,i am very glad to tell you something about ningxia~
if you travel here,you can't miss the sand lake(or shapotou) and the helan mountain.sand lake is a place where you can see both the desert and the lake,very beautiful~ fish there is delicious but a little dear..Paintings in helan mountain is very famous,and the view is nice too~
other places like the 108 pagoda,the Mosque are also good.
and the food,you can find common food and features food both, so don't worry about it~
now it is a little hot here,the highest temperature is 34C,the sun is shining a lot,too.
one thing you should remember,don't talk about pig or pork in front of HUI people,and the QINGZHEN restrauant won't serve pork~

hope you will have a nice trip~!
