China travel guide - Ningxia PDF Chapter
Níngxià was once the frontline between the empires of the Mongols and the Han Chinese and there is a host of historic sites here, ranging from little-seen Buddhist statues to the royal tombs of long-past dynasties, as well as ancient rock carvings that predate any emperor. And as the homeland of the Muslim Hui ethnic minority, Níngxià is culturally unique, too.
Coverage includes: Yínchuān & around, Zhōngwèi & around, and Gùyuán & around.
