Changliushui Ecotourism Area

　　Guide Changliushui Ecotourism Area is situated on the edge of the Mu Us Desert, in Lingwu City, Ningxia. It is a naturally formed green scenic area that integrates tourism and leisure, recreational fishing, camping and exploration, wildlife viewing, and film and television location shooting.

　　The waters of Changliushui originated a century ago and were formed through a magical process. Deep in the Mu Us Desert, within a two-kilometer radius, three springs emerge respectively at the foot of sand dunes, from the roots of fine grass, and through crevices in the rocks. They trickle out like teardrops, gradually forming small streams that gurgle and eventually converge into a creek. This creek joyfully flows day and night through the desert and along the riverbed of a grand canyon, winding its way forward — hence the name “Changliushui” (Long Flowing Water).

　　Explore the lush Changliushui and trace its source. Along the way, you can see ancient beacon towers, small stone houses, hourglass wells, and old sheepfolds. At the confluence of the three springs, admire Sister Pools, bare-root mulberry trees, wild apricot forests, and jujube-covered ridges. As you walk along the water and sand, admire the rocks and greenery. Tiger Mouth Waterfall, Snake Tail Waterfall, and Twin Dragon Waterfall each offer distinct desert waterfall styles that are a feast for the eyes — a true marvel of the northern frontier. Thousand-Bird Cave, Mountain Cave, Crocodile Rock, and Accumulated Rocks all showcase nature’s artistic touch and spiritual essence. The unique natural ensemble of sand, stones, lakes, springs, waterfalls, creeks, and icefalls offers spectacular sights. There are also sand bathing areas, sand sliding areas, and horse racing fields for self-entertainment activities such as desert off-roading, beach soccer, water volleyball, and water surfing.

　　Dining / Accommodation / Shopping There is a cave dwelling accommodation area with heated kang beds and regular beds, each cave able to accommodate 3–10 people.
