2. You should have heard the phrase "You are not a true man until you reach the Great Wall", which was written by Chairman Mao 1935+00 when crossing Liupan Mountain in Ningxia in June. It is because of this poem that Liupanshan is famous all over the world. The highest elevation of Liupanshan Mountain is 2942 meters, which is called the Green Island on the Loess Plateau. Genghis Khan once rested here when he conquered Xixia, and later died in Liupanshan.
Ningxia is very small, only 66,000 square kilometers. There are only five prefecture-level cities in the region: Yinchuan, Shizuishan, Wuzhong, Guyuan and Zhongwei. It is surrounded by Inner Mongolia in the north and borders Gansu and Shaanxi in the east and west. So many Ningxia people like to go to Xi 'an in Guyuan, Lanzhou in Zhongwei, Shizuishan in Inner Mongolia and Alashan in Yinchuan.
Generally speaking, Lycium barbarum is the most famous specialty in Ningxia. Besides Lycium barbarum, there are licorice, Helan stone, two kinds of fur and one kind of beach sheep. Because the colors are red, yellow, blue and white, it is also called "Four Treasures of the Study" in Ningxia, and Nostoc flagelliforme is homophonic with "making a fortune", which is collectively called "Five Treasures of Ningxia". Lycium barbarum, especially the Lycium barbarum produced in Zhongning, has the best quality, so there is a saying.
5. Have you ever seen a watermelon in a crack in the stone? It is produced in Ningxia. This kind of watermelon is very sweet, and because it is rich in selenium, it is called selenium sand melon. Kangxi once praised the sweetness of watermelon in Ningxia, calling it "the king of melons".

8. Ningxia Tan sheep is tender and delicious. Mutton in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia is not as delicious as Ningxia Tan sheep. Hand-grabbed mutton, stewed mutton, mutton bread in soup, stir-fried mutton and mutton offal in Ningxia are all delicious. You must try it when you arrive in Ningxia. People in Ningxia love mutton very much, with an average annual consumption of nearly 7 kilograms, which is five times the national average. What are you hiding?
9. Yinchuan, Shizuishan, Wuzhong and Zhongwei in Ningxia are irrigated by the Yellow River, with developed agriculture and animal husbandry, numerous lakes, contiguous wetlands and beautiful scenery, which is better than Jiangnan, so this area is also called "Jiangnan". The Yellow River flows through so many provinces. Why is it called "Ningxia in Huang Hefu"?

Located on the plateau above 1 100 meters above sea level, it is a famous summer capital and a window for China to communicate with Arab countries in the world. The state regards Yinchuan as the permanent venue for the China-Arab Expo. As the capital of Xixia kingdom for many years, it has left many cultural relics, but few written records. The existence of Xixia kingdom is a mystery.
1 1. Shapotou, Ningxia Zhongwei, is a magical place that combines the wonders of the northwest and the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. There are "the first cable of the Yellow River in the world", ancient waterwheels represented by the Yellow River culture, sheepskin rafts, the oldest means of transportation on the Yellow River and a rare mirage in the desert. There is the largest natural sliding field in China, and the desert here can sing, because the wind there blows the sand particles to rotate in the airflow, forming a diabolo effect and making rhythmic sounds.
12. Shizuishan is known as the "coal city". After the founding of the People's Republic of China, more than 75% of them immigrated from all over the country, because there are abundant mineral resources such as coal, but now many of them have dried up and the population has been flowing out, so the house prices there are not expensive, and they are basically at the bottom of the national prefecture-level cities. It is really appropriate to be called "Hegang, Ningxia".

14. In addition to the Yellow River Irrigation Area, there is another place in Ningxia that is defined by the United Nations as the least suitable for human habitation, which is the well-known "Xihaigu" area. Located in the Loess Plateau, the valley is deep and the land is barren. The average annual precipitation is only 300 mm, but the evaporation is more than 2000 mm. In the past, it was difficult to drink water and eat by the weather, and many of them were remote places. Now many of them have moved to suitable places.
15. There is the largest western film and television city in the north of Yinchuan, Ningxia, where hundreds of movies and TV series are filmed. At present, many scenes in scenic spots are restored according to the scenes of movies or TV series. A Chinese Odyssey starring Stephen Chow and Athena Chu was filmed in Bao Bei Film and Television Base in Yinchuan Town, Ningxia, and the image of Xia Zixian's daughter has been deeply rooted in people's hearts since then. Supreme Bao's confession to Xia Zixian's daughter has become an eternal classic. If God can let me do it again, I will say three words to that girl: I love you. If I want to add a time limit to this love, I hope it is 10 thousand years. Which girl is not moved? So romantic.
16. Xixia mausoleum is located in the west of Yinchuan city. It is the imperial mausoleum and royal mausoleum of Xixia in past dynasties. Known as the "Oriental Pyramid", it is one of the largest royal cemeteries in China with the most complete ground ruins. It is also the largest existing Xixia cultural site. Xixia has always been a mysterious dynasty, because there are few written records, few unearthed cultural relics and few preserved relics.
17. Ningxia is not only the hometown of Xixia, but also the hometown of Mu Rongfu in the novels of martial arts master Jin Yong. Why doesn't Mu Rongfu like the beautiful school sister Wang Yuyan? Why on earth?

In fact, they are all potatoes, but they are called differently.
23. Ningxia wine is world-famous. The sunshine, soil, moisture, altitude and latitude at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain are all conducive to growing grapes.

Although Ningxia is a small place, there are still many differences in dialects. It is said that Xiji dialect is the most difficult to understand. Yinchuan and Shizuishan have the largest number of people who speak Mandarin, because they are immigrant cities with large populations.
