Experience The Road Less Traveled

The Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, or simply Ningxia, is one of China’s five autonomous regions. Located in north-central China, Ningxia itself is split into five prefectural cities: Shízuǐshān (石嘴山), Yínchuān (银川), Wúzhōng (吴忠), Zhōngwèi (中卫), and Gùyuán (固原). Each of these areas offers something different in the way of food, people, tourism, and geography. From sandy deserts to rugged mountains to lush, green forests, Ningxia has a little of everything, and, as one might see on an airport billboard or two, some might call it “An Oasis on the Hinterland.” (Though perhaps a better translation would be “An Oasis on the Chinese Frontier.”)

One of the first aspects of Ningxia a newcomer might notice is its abundant sunshine and lack of significant pollution. In contrast to many other areas, Ningxia’s skies are visibly blue for most of the year, and the region is also fairly quiet, a fantastic place to rest from the busyness of China’s more heavily populated cities and regions.
