The original name of Xikou ancient ferry is Shuiximen ferry, which can be traced back to the Han Dynasty.

When his son came here to find his father, Jin Chang learned that he would return the money to him. The emperor heard that Junzi was also called Junzi Jin. It has been used in Sui and Tang Dynasties. During the Qing and Li dynasties of Song Dynasty, a discussion hall was set up to conduct direct trade with Qidan, Liao and Xia. During the period of Jin Dading, Dongsheng Prefecture set up a propaganda mission here, which was in charge of Yingfang, fishing boats crossing the river, river course and other affairs. Since yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, economy and trade have become more frequent, connecting Longyou in Ningxia in the West and Yinshan grassland in the north. Kangxi, the emperor of Qing Dynasty, granted the request of Erdos, so that he BAOYING could trade with Mongolia, and Huaihe people reclaimed Mongolian land. At that time, there were many rivers, dry docks, the Silk Road, merchants, boats, soldiers and civilians, and fireworks.

Dukou has Yuwang temple, which was founded in 1751. Located in the middle of Xikou ancient ferry, sitting on the East River, the plane layout is rectangular. The main building is the main hall and the holding hall, and the auxiliary building is the stage. Its structure is similar in shape, and the Dougong is made of five pavilions.

According to the epitaph of Yuwang Temple rebuilt in 1833 of Daoguang, it said: "Heyi built its own temple, the local residents drank and wrote for a long time, and the water of the Yellow River came down from the northeast, and there was no worry of flooding, so it became a beautiful place." Every year, March 18 of the lunar calendar is the sacrifice day, and July 15 is the ancient temple meeting day. That night, he would head a boat in the river and put 365 lanterns in the water for the blessing of God Yu. During the ancient meeting, the Yuwang temple was decorated with lanterns and decorations, and there were thousands of pilgrims. The border people of Inner Mongolia and Shaanxi came by boat with a strip of water. Outside the mountain gate, the gongs and drums of the opera tower are noisy, and the sound of the sky suppresses the three provinces. Relying on the fence and facing the wind, you can see the wind of Erdos desert outside the Great Wall, you can see the ancient ferry in Northern Shaanxi and Shantou, you can't help thinking about the ancient love, and you can't help thinking about the Junzi Jin of emperor Huan of Han Dynasty. "The mountains and rivers are still there, several sunsets are red.". But the white clouds outside the fence are long, the yellow water is surging, and the deer racing platform is majestic.

It is known as Xiongguan ancient fortress. Xikou ancient ferry and Yuwang temple are rich in ink and color. Facing Mongolia and Shaanxi across the river, they are well-known for their crowing of chickens. They attract tourists from home and abroad and become a natural landscape of northern Great Wall

After the birth of new China, the transportation of Shanxi, Inner Mongolia and Shaanxi developed rapidly. Since the 1960s, people from Hequ have gone to Ningxia on foot. However, the day when we trudged along the west wall of the river (indicating the Great Wall) for two thousand li along the silk road has become history after all, leaving us endless reverie.
