Ningxia, Autonomous region in North-Central China.

The Ningxia territory spans across 66,400 square kilometers of diverse landscapes, featuring deserts, mountains, and the fertile Yellow River valley in the north.

The region transformed from a Tangut kingdom into an autonomous area for the Hui people in 1958 when it separated from Gansu province.

The population includes 38 percent Hui people who maintain Islamic traditions, shaping the regional architecture, festivals, and food preparation methods.

Ningxia contains substantial deposits of coal, oil, and natural gas, supporting industrial development through economic zones in Yinchuan and surrounding areas.

The region produces wine from over 40,000 hectares of vineyards, making it a leading center for viticulture in China.
