Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, nestled along the Yellow River in northwest China, is home to a large Hui Muslim population and rich Islamic heritage. Its dramatic landscapes include parts of the Gobi Desert and the Helan Mountains, supporting both traditional agriculture and a blossoming wine industry. Historically, Ningxia was a crucial node along the ancient Silk Road, fostering cultural exchange and trade. Visitors today can explore desert fortresses, vibrant night markets, and ancient mosques that together showcase Ningxia’s unique blend of history and ethnic diversity.
