Ningxia, a mysterious land steeped in history, is known as the "Jiangnan of the North."

The Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization and an important node on the ancient Silk Road. Located in the geometric center of China's map, Ningxia is a treasure trove in the northwest of China. Despite its small size, it is rich in resources. Covering an area of 66,400 square kilometers, Ningxia is home to mountains, canyons, grasslands, deserts, and rivers, creating a picture of "Jiangnan of the North, Magical Ningxia." It is known as the "miniature bonsai of Chinese tourism." Among the 8 main categories, 23 subcategories, and 110 basic types of cultural tourism resources, Ningxia covers 8 main categories, 22 subcategories, and 106 basic types. Ningxia is home to five national 5A-level scenic spots: Shahu Scenic Area in Shizuishan, Shapotou Scenic Area in Zhongwei, Zhenbeibao Western Film City in Yinchuan, Shuidonggou Scenic Area in Yinchuan, and the Yellow River Grand Canyon Scenic Area in Qingtongxia, Wuzhong. It also has four classic red tourism scenic spots: Liupanshan Red Army Long March Memorial Scenic Area, the Red Army's Westward Expedition Red Tourism Series Scenic Area in Tongxin County, Wuzhong, the Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Hall in Yanchi County, Wuzhong, and the China Hui Culture Park in Yongning County, Yinchuan.
