Helan Mountain Gongzhongkou

　　    Gongzhongkou, situated 35 kilometers northwest of Yinchuan at the eastern foot of the Helan Mountains, was historically renowned as a scenic gem of the Helan range and is now one of Ningxia’s well-known destinations for summer escapes and tourism. Commonly referred to as "Xiaokouzi" (Little Opening), this mountain pass is surrounded by hills on three sides, with an opening facing east that resembles an upturned bell. At the heart of the scenic area stands a small hill, shaped like the clapper suspended inside a bell, locally called "Zhongling Mountain" (Bell-Hanging Mountain). This distinctive shape gives the area its name, "Gongzhongkou" or "Rolling Bell Pass."
