Is Ningxia from Gansu?

Do Ningxia people ride camels to work?

Is Ningxia short of water? Why?

Where is A Ning's license plate?

The status of Ningxia is self-evident.

Ningxia, a small place bordering the south of the Yangtze River, covers an area of only 66,400 square kilometers and is surrounded by famous provinces. Together with his magnificent mountains and rivers and cultural treasures, they are hidden in the ridicule of "the province with the least sense of existence".

Ningxia is called "Ning" for short. In the geography of China, Helan Mountain, which every dividing line must pass through, is in Ningxia. The melting ice and snow at the foot of Helan Mountain are all tears shed by the geography teacher.

In addition, I must emphasize that Ningxia people have long been nomadic and will not be buried in the sand by a tornado.

Plug in Jiangnan to find out!

In Ningxia, a Yellow River runs through it, and the Yellow River civilization originated here, including a Helan Mountain, three deserts and 72 lakes. Just like the great northwest and the great south of the Yangtze River, there is both a stalwart side and a tender side.

Ningxia is not big, but there are many kinds of customs.

Yellow River, the proud mother river.

The descendants of the Chinese people have shed blood, tears and sweat here for generations, so the Yellow River has become a flowing national history, a witness of glory and suffering, and a mother river that we are proud of!

With the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, the Yellow River painted a magnificent picture of mountains and rivers on the ancient land of China, so there were sails, smoke, roads and villages ...

For thousands of years, the Yellow River has nourished the Ningxia Plain, creating fertile land, and the land of fish and rice borders the south of the Yangtze River. The Yellow River is an inseparable river of life in Ningxia. The people of Ningxia were born and developed because of the Yellow River. "The world is Huang Hefu and Ningxia" truly reflects the special kindness of the Yellow River to Ningxia.

Protecting the north is the throat of the desert.

Helan Mountain has been a natural military barrier since ancient times and has important strategic position and military value. This used to be a battleground for military strategists. Helan Mountain recorded conflicts and wars, and also witnessed civilization and glory. Wang Wei, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote such a poem: War clouds are gathering, and under the Helan Mountains, it goes back and forth, day and night, floating around. Helan Mountain, which has experienced the battlefield, is full of sadness and sadness.

The majestic Helan Mountain blocked the yellow sand in Tengger Desert and the Siberian cold current for the people in Yinchuan Plain. Nourishing hundreds of millions of creatures in Ningxia mountains and rivers, it guards the throat of the northwest of the motherland like a barrier and stands tall like a father!

In Helan Mountain, more than 6,000 rock paintings, large and small, began in the late Paleolithic period and ended in the Xixia period. Cattle and sheep with simple lines, portraits of faces with different expressions, and the most famous sun god ..... are all like home paintings of human childhood-outlining the fiery life scene at that time.

Without Helan Mountain, maybe China won't harvest one of the best wine producing areas.

The eastern foot of Helan Mountain is recognized by the industry as one of the most suitable golden areas for growing wine grapes and producing high-end wines in the world. There is Yellow River irrigation and Helan Mountain protection. Such a superior production environment is a gift from nature.

The perfect combination of sunshine, climate, soil and precipitation coefficient makes the producing area at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain a trump card of China wine.

Ningxia is not big, but it lingers.

This place is called the land of stars!

Ningxia is one of the best places to watch the stars, with clear skies and fresh air in Wan Li, with an average sunny day of about 300 days. It is called "the hometown of stars". You can see the stars all over the sky on Liupanshan Mountain, under Helan Mountain, inside and outside the Great Wall, on both sides of the Yellow River, or in the desert of Shahai and Grape Manor.

The picture shows Liu Sanduo's eight-treasure tea.

Hard-working and simple Ningxia people must make a steaming bowl of eight-treasure tea for their guests, which represents their enthusiasm and respect for the guests. The ingredients of eight-treasure tea generally include medlar, longan, raisins, red dates, dried fruits, rock sugar, sesame seeds and tea. According to seasonal changes and different people's preferences, rose, chrysanthemum, walnut, ginseng and cassia seed can be added to form a health tea with unique flavor.

Ningxia has five treasures: black (Taixi coal), white (two hairs), yellow (licorice), blue (Helan stone) and red (medlar).

Today's Ningxiahong is more than just a medlar. The two most famous products in Ningxia, mutton and medlar, are both red.
