Yinchuan
is capital of the Hui Autonomous Region
of Ningxia, remotely stationed in the northwest
of China, between the rolling grasslands
of Inner Mongolia to the east and the mountains
and deserts of Gansu to the west. This region,
the smallest in China, is little visited
and little known about, making trips here
an interesting and hard experience. Ningxia
is poor and would have been almost uninhabitable,
with its harsh climate and remote location,
but for the grimy Yellow River (Huang he)
and the irrigation channels built in the
Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD), that support
the population.
Nowadays
the city is well spread out, with the New
City (Xincheng) in the east of little interest
beyond holding the railway station and for
its proximity to the airport. The Old City
(Laocheng) to the west, is green and peaceful,
containing all of the sights and the best
hotels. Travellers, however, are not really
here for the man-made sights, but for the
remote beauty of a province that is little
populated and certainly off the beaten track.
Hiking in mountainous areas, camping in
deep woods, riding over sand dunes and rafting
the turbulent Yellow River are the ideal
reasons for visiting this autonomous region.
