Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region is a compact, landlocked province in north-central China, straddling the upper Yellow River between the Gobi and Tengger deserts and the Helan Mountains. Home to a large ethnic Hui Muslim population alongside the Han majority, Ningxia blends desert scenery, Yellow River irrigation culture, Xixia (Western Xia) dynasty heritage, and a fast-growing wine industry into one of China's most underrated travel regions.
