Yinchuan is the capital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Lying in the middle of the Yinchuan or Ningxia Plain, Yinchuan is sheltered from the deserts of Mongolia by the high ranges of the Helan Mountain to its west. The Yellow River runs through Yinchuan from southwest to northeast.
Yinchuan has long been an administrative and commercial center for the area. Prior to the 1950’s it had many commercial enterprises, and there were some handicrafts but no modern industry. The city has since grown considerably. Extensive coal deposits discovered on the eastern bank of the Yellow River, near Shizuishan, 100 km to the north, have made Shizuishan a coal-mining center. However, Yinchuan remains largely nonindustrial.
Yinchuan is the chief agricultural market and distribution center for this area and also deals in animal products from the herds tended by nomads in the surrounding grasslands. Its main industries are the production of Chinese wolfberry, wheat, apple, and rice. Yinchuan is a market for grain and has flour mills, as well as rice-hulling and oil-extraction plants. The wool produced in the surrounding plains supplies a woolen-textile mill.
