Ningxia's Sights!






Yesterday we woke up very early to get on a bus to Ling Wu, Ningxia.
LingWu, Ningxia has dinosaur fossils! It was pretty neat to walk around the archaeological dig site and see a giant spinal cord half buried in the ground. There are apparently at least 8 different dinosaurs who died at this site (probably more).
After dinosaurs we took 4 separate buses and a taxi to the 108 Pagodas. It's an isosceles triangle of 108 approx. 9ft tall Buddhist Pagodas. It's located next to the Yellow River and surrounded by gorgeous mountains.
