Yinchuan
Yinchuan is the capital city of Ningxia. Sheltered from the deserts of Mongolia by the high mountain ranges of the Helan Mountain to its west and abundantly supplied with water from the nearby Yellow River, Yinchuan occupies a favoured geographical position in otherwise harsh surroundings. The city was once the capital of the Western Xia, a mysterious kingdom founded during the 11th century.
