Xixia King's Palace

　　The Xixia King's Palace is situated in the Jingshui (Yellow River) Tourist Area, 13 kilometers east of Yinchuan City. The “Hengcheng Ancient Ferry” has long been one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Ningxia. The palace was rebuilt for the filming of the historical TV series “Helan Snow,” which is themed around the history of the Xixia Kingdom. Covering an area of 50 square kilometers, it was designated as one of the second batch of National Key Scenic Spots by the State Council in 1988.

　　The Xixia Tombs Scenic Area is located in the western suburbs of Yinchuan, the capital of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, on the eastern foothills of the Helan Mountains, adjacent to the urban area of Yinchuan. It is renowned for its unique architectural style, rich cultural heritage, and historical sites. The site features nine imperial tombs of the Xixia kings and over 260 accompanying tombs of nobles and relatives, making it the largest surviving Xixia cultural site in China. In 1988, it was declared a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit by the State Council. The Xixia Tombs Scenic Area holds significant scientific and artistic value for the study of Xixia culture, history, architecture, and local customs. Since opening to the public, it has become a prominent representation of Yinchuan’s status as a historic and cultural city, serving as an important window for international cultural exchange and attracting widespread attention both domestically and abroad.
