Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, also called ＾Ning
for short, is located in the center of
northwestern China and the middle and upper
reaches of the Yellow River. Covering an area of
66,000 square kilometers, the region is bordered
by Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia and Gansu. The ethnic
Hui people make up one third of the local
population of 5,62 million that also includes
Han, Manchurian and so on. Its capital is
Yinchuan. |
Most of the
beautiful and richly endowed land is covered by
mountains and plateaus and the plain area makes
up one fourth of the land. The Yellow River, 397
kilometers in Ningxia, has a drainage area of
over 1,000 square kilometers. Crisscrossed by a
labyrinth of waterways and endowed with abundant
natural resources, Ningxia is regarded as rich
as the well-endowed area south of the Yangtze
River. As the saying goes, ＾Of all the regions
along the Yellow River, Nigxia is the most
prosperous￣. Chinese wolfberries (red), licorice
roots (yellow), Helan Stone (blue), hair weeds
(black) and Goatskins (white) are the five most
famous native products of Ningxia.
Long history and unique landscape have bestowed
an abundance of tourist resources on Ningxia.
Yinchuan is one of national famous historical
and cultural cities. Main tourist spots are
Mausoleums of the Western Xia Kingdom, Qingtong
Gorge, Haibao Pagoda, Sumeru Grottoes, High
Temple, Shapotou, Nanguan Muslim Mosque, Sands
Lake Scenic Spots and so on.
