In order to scope out the city a bit, a decision is made to take the 1st half of the day off. However, after getting stuck in one too many tourist traps, eventually get back to the guest house at 3pm, to be greeted by some slightly oppressed receptionist indicating that the check out time is 1pm. I succumb to the fact that I'll only do about 40km that afternoon anyway and settle in for another night in Yinchuan, which includes buying a book, dinner, a walk around town, and, yes, another massage.
