Situated just a short bus ride from the city of Yinchuan in Ningxia Province, this large and lovely national park makes a refreshing change from the city.
Opened in 1992, the government has been working hard to introduce new species of wildlife to the park and create a natural wonderland that city dwellers can enjoy and appreciate. The effort has obviously paid off as Suyukou National Forest Park receives more than 100, 000 visitors each year.
The park is opened 24 hours a day, meaning that visitors can also explore at night. A good way to see the best that Suyukou Forest Park has to offer is by hiring a guide, which can be done from the large visitors center situated near the entrance. It is also possible to book a tour in Yinchuan and go as part of a group.
The Suyukou Forest Park is actually situated in the eastern part of Mount Helan, which is famous for its ancient rock carvings and paintings. A guided tour of the area can also include a visit to this site, making exploring easy and exhilarating.
Getting There & Away
Access is from Yinchuan, where there is an international airport. From the city of Yinchuan, it is possible to take a bus to the Suyukou National Forest Park (30 minutes). There are also buses from places such as Guyuan.
