As the political, economic and cultural center of Yinchuan, Xingqing District has a total area of 828 square kilometers and a population of about 800,000, blending the characteristics of the Hui ethnic group with modern urban style.
With a long history, Xingqing District was once the seat of Xingqing Prefecture, the capital city of the Xixia Dynasty, and boasts ancient buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties, such as the Drum Tower and the Jade Emperor Pavilion.
