General presentation
Wuzhong et Qingtongxia
Channels, mosques and yellow river gorge tell about the ancient irrigation of Ningxia.
The discovery of Wuzhong and Qingtongxia is centred around Gorge of Qingtongxia, One hundred and eight stupas and Wuzhong Mosque. The stay thus alternates between urban life, riverscapes and heritage, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature and panorama
Gorge de Qingtongxia
The Yellow River crosses a rocky tightening now controlled by a dam. Distances, weather and access conditions must be checked before departure; water, warm clothing and time range remain useful, even in summer.
Place indismissible
Cent huit stupas
A triangular alignment of stupas dominates the Qingtongxia reservoir. An early visit allows you to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
Place indismissible
Mosquée de Wuzhong
The local mosques testify to the strong presence in the city today. The place remains culturally sensitive and discovers with discretion, without hindering local practices; religious schedules, outfits and photographic rules are to be checked on site.
