Ningxia

Ningxia is China's smallest autonomous region by area, yet it boasts the prestigious title of 'Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall'. The Yellow River flows northward across the entire region. Shapotou brings together vast desert, the Yellow River, towering mountains, and lush oases all in one destination. Thrilling, heart-pounding activities like sand sledding and the Yellow River zip line make it a true paradise for desert adventure seekers.

The Western Xia Imperial Mausoleums, known as the 'Oriental Pyramids', bear witness to the rise and fall of a mysterious ancient dynasty. The Helan Mountain rock paintings record the daily lives of early indigenous ancestors. The Zhenbeibu Western Film Studio served as the filming location for hit productions including *A Chinese Odyssey*. Shahu skillfully blends desert and lake landscapes, where birds soar and fish leap amidst dense reed beds. Ningxia forms the core of the world-class wine-producing region on the eastern foothills of the Helan Mountains.
