			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Arrived at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yinchuan">YinChuan </a>train station around 7.45pm in the morning.<br />

YinChuan is the capital of NingXia province. YinChuan is sort of a small medium size city in China with a population of around 1 million. There are many Hui Chinese in the city and it&#8217;s consider as the autonomy region of Hui. A third of the population in YingChuan is Hui Chinese.</p>
<p>YinChuan is spreaded from the east to west. The train station is sort of separating the east and the west part of the city. Took bus 1 from the train station to the last stop, east bus station. The bus station looks new and is quite clean.<br />

<p>ZhongShan Park. The frozen lake.<br />
<a href="http://journey26.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/CIMG6854.jpg"><img src="http://journey26.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/CIMG6854-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="CIMG6854" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2589" /></a></p>

<p>Like the museums in Lanzhou and Xining, the provincial museum in YingChuan is free and brand new. It was only built 2 years ago. I can feel that the government must have a lot of funds to build such a nice museums. Inside the museum is pretty impressive as well.<br />
<a href="http://journey26.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/CIMG6869.jpg"><img src="http://journey26.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/CIMG6869-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="CIMG6869" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2594" /></a></p>

<p>The toilet looks exceptionally clean which is an uncommon sight here in Western China.<br />

<p>Library, looks very new as well.<br />
<a href="http://journey26.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/CIMG6887-640x480.jpg"><img src="http://journey26.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/CIMG6887-640x480-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="CIMG6887 [640x480]" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2639" /></a></p>
<p>Translation literally<br />

<p>Driving lessons at the parking lot of the Exhibition Center<br />
<a href="http://journey26.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/CIMG6896-640x480.jpg"><img src="http://journey26.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/CIMG6896-640x480-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="CIMG6896 [640x480]" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2641" /></a></p>
<p>Exhibition center<br />
<a href="http://journey26.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/CIMG6897-640x480.jpg"><img src="http://journey26.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/CIMG6897-640x480-225x300.jpg" alt="" title="CIMG6897 [640x480]" width="225" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2642" /></a></p>
<p>There are a lot of new constructions going on in YinChuan.<br />
<a href="http://journey26.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/CIMG6868-640x480.jpg"><img src="http://journey26.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/CIMG6868-640x480-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="CIMG6868 [640x480]" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2646" /></a><br />
I didn&#8217;t expect the city YinChuan to have so much going on since it&#8217;s not a famous city. The city is very well planned, streets are very clean and public buses are new and are using renewable energy.</p>
<p>The city is constructing a very nice looking community, <a href="http://www.forestpark.com.cn/">Forest Park</a></p>
<p>It seems like the <a href="http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/government/ningxia.html">mayor </a>of the city is doing a very good job.</p>
<p>Took bus 26 to the west part of the city and then got on the K2326 6.38pm overnight train (96 Yuan~USD$14, upper sleeping berth) to Hohhot (Huhehaote), inner Mongolia. I needed to be back from Mongolia and reenter China by Jan 9th so I have to rush a little.</p>
