Where the rocks whisper, ancient souls and memories are engraved

#Sign up for tripbest7月酒店试睡員 The Helan Mountain rock paintings are hidden in the valleys of Ningxia. They are the voices left by nomadic people to the world thousands of years ago. I stood in front of the rock and touched the marks, and an indescribable shock surged in my heart. Cows, horses, hunters, sun gods... The images are simple but full of vitality, like poems written by ancient humans in the most primitive language. There are no words, but you can feel their enthusiasm and faith. The wind whispered in my ears, and the sun shone obliquely on the rock surface. The images seemed to come alive, with knights galloping on horses and hunters drawing their bows to shoot. I seemed not to be a traveler, but a witness of time. The Helan Mountain rock paintings made me understand that history is not only recorded in books, but also exists on stones, in valleys, and in the collective memory of mankind. Every stroke here is the original pulse of civilization and the answer to where we came from.
