Byname: Phoenix City. Arising northwest Chinese
industrial city and capital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.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. 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. A famous
historical and cultural city as well, and capital of the Western Xia.
Major attractions: Tembhs of Western Xia Kings, Haibao Pagoda, Shahu
Scenic Zone, Helan Mountain, Chengtian Temple Pagoda, Twin Pagodas
