West Pagoda (Xita), (In the middle of Old Town). A nice, medium sized garden area with classic Chinese buildings/architecture. The tower dominates the garden and the view from the top is one of the best you will get of Yinchuan. Currently closed until the H1N1 scare is past. ¥8 to go to the top of the pagoda. �
North Pagoda (Beita), (A bit outside the Old Town you will have to take a taxi to get there). �
Xixia Wangling National Park - Western Xia Tombs, These are 193 tombs of high officials of the Xia Kingdom.
Ningxia Great Wall, (Approx 60km southwest of the New Town). This part of the wall is in various states of decay, but maintains some impressive examples ancient masonry. The site is undeveloped and you are free to wander about/climb on it as you like. Sections of the Ningxia Great Wall originate primarily from the Ming Dynasty. It is about 1km in length, and continues up the mountains and further out in both directions. Well worth the trip, but be forwarned, brightly coloured clothes will attract flying grasshoppers! There is nothing else around (no people/shops/etc)--its at the edge of the desert. Bring water. �

Public Bus, Departs: Alashun Hotel and New Town bus depot. 5:00-18:00. From in front of the Alashun Hotel or at the bus depot hidden away down the street from the train station in the New Town (what once was the bus station entrance hall is a furniature store, the main station entrance looks like a small shop but is in the same building next door). Public buses going there do not have numbers but are white with blue lettering and travel between Yinchuan and Zuoqi, get off at Sanguankou (the wall is clearly visible from the highway, infact the highway goes through the wall). Just wait on the road and flag down any bus you see headed towards town to return. The last returning bus passes the wall daily at 5:50PM (be on the road a few minutes early), locals may stop and offer you a ride back to town if you are waiting on the main road. ¥12. �
