Helan County is located in the northwestern part of Yinchuan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, in the Ningxia Plain and the eastern foot of Helan Mountain, named after the mountain, known as the "Pearl on the Seas". With the lofty Helan Mountains in the north, the rich Yinchuan Plain in the south and the Yellow River passing through the city, the area has nurtured a unique history of blending farming and nomadic civilization.
