Wuhai City

Wuhai spans 1,754 square kilometers between the Gobi and Ordos deserts, with the Yellow River flowing through its three administrative districts: Haibowan, Hainan, and Wuda.

The formation of Wuhai occurred in 1976 through the merger of Wuda, established as a coal mining settlement in 1864, and Haibowan, founded by farmers in 1900.

The population of 631,000 residents includes Han Chinese, Mongols, Hui, Manchu, Daur, Koreans, Tibetans, Zhuang, and Xibe ethnic groups, each maintaining their traditions.

Wuhai Airport connects the city to Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, while local transportation includes regular bus services and taxis throughout the districts.

The city contains numerous river islands formed by the Yellow River's 100-kilometer path through the region, creating a network of waterways amid desert landscapes.
