Ningxia can be found on the map in northwest China and in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. It is bordered by Gansu to the south, Shaanxi to the east, and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to the north, and it is one of the five ethnic minority autonomous regions in China.
The Hui population accounts for about one-third of the total population of the autonomous region. Mosques of all sizes are everywhere in Ningxia and Eid al Fitr is regarded as the most important festival.
Known as a green and beautiful land in northwestern China, Ningxia was involved in a part of the ancient Silk Road, being a platform for trade and cultural exchanges between China's central regions and northwestern areas. Ningxia tourism mainly consists of natural reserves, majestic desert scenery, attractions along or around the Yellow River and relics of the mysterious Western Xia Dynasty (1038 - 1227).
