Guyuan City
A mountain city in southern Ningxia, Guyuan has cool, lush Liupan Mountain in summer, plus the Xumishan Grottoes and Long March sites well worth a look.
Guyuan lies in southern Ningxia, in the northwest of the Loess Plateau, with the Liupan Mountains running through its south and Gansu next door; it has been a key location on the Silk Road since ancient times. Main sights include Liupan Mountain National Forest Park and the Red Army Long March Memorial Museum, the Xumishan Grottoes, the Danxia landforms of Huoshizhai and Laolongtan, the source of the Jinghe River. Summers are cool and ideal for escaping the heat, and autumn brings rich colors to the mountain forests. Guyuan Liupanshan Airport and the railway connect to Yinchuan, Xi'an and more.
