In depth

<p> Shahu Lake where sand and water coexist, migratory birds dance among the reeds, and sailing through by boat feels like stepping into a painting. The rammed earth tombs of the Western Xia royal tombs lie quietly beneath Helan Mountain, known as the "Eastern Pyramid." </p><p> The western film city of Zhenbeibao was converted from a Ming and Qing military fortress, and the filming location for "A Chinese Odyssey" is here. The loess city walls naturally exude the spirit of the martial world. In the Helan Mountain rock paintings, the ancestors carved the sun god into stone. A bowl of lamb minced noodles is warmth from the frontier </p>
