Ningxia Shin Shin Schools

Ningxia, sometimes abbreviated Ning, is located in the northwestern area in China, in the middle of the Yellow River region. Ningxia includes one district, three cities, two smaller cities, and fifteen counties, with a 66 thousand square kilometers area. Its capital is Yinchuan. Ningxia has an abundance of mineral resources, including excellent coal, silicon, and gesso. The water resources from the Yellow River have been redirected to water rice fields of Ningxia since 2000 years ago. Since then, Ningxia has been an important base for rice products in China. Ningxia is governed by the Hui ethnic group, which composes one third of the total population of Ningxia. With more than 3000 Muslim temples, Ningxia is a Muslim province. Long history, diversified land forms, and unique folklore are part of tourism resources of Ningxia province: the endless Helan Mountains and Liupan Mountains, the surging and winding Yellow River, the vast deserts and grasslands, the Xixia royal tomb (called the eastern Pyramid), Xumi Mountain stone cave- one of the grandest stone caves in China, and the distinctive Hui folk customs.

Shin Shin Educational Foundation has built ten schools in Ningxia, five in Haiyuan city, two in Guyuan city, one in Xiji county, one in Pengyang county, and one in Zhongwei city.
