## About Huangsha Ancient Ferry National Wetland Park

Ningxia's newest flagship attraction. Here you can see the ancient ferry crossing where the Kangxi Emperor crossed the Yellow River, and the crescent-shaped Moon Lake left in the desert by Princess Wang Zhaojun's journey north to marry a Xiongnu chieftain. The Desert Fun Valley is thrilling, while the Ancient Ferry Village is wonderfully relaxing. The China Native Tibetan Mastiff Breeding Base, the Ningxia Desert Wildlife Rescue Centre and the Ningxia Folk Culture Museum are all based here, making this arguably the most fun place in Ningxia.
