Western Xia Historical Statues Museum
The Western Xia Historical Statues Museum is situated in the Western Xia Mausoleum area of Yinchuan. With the Western Xia imperial tombs as its backdrop and drawing on historical events of the Western Xia, the museum uses 18 artistic scenes and 160 life-sized statues to vividly recreate key moments in the history of the Tangut people — including their territorial expansion, abolition of slavery and reforms, creation of a writing system, and establishment of a political regime — bringing to life the once-flourishing civilization of the Western Xia.
