Smart City of Yinchuan
Yinchuan is the capital of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, People’s Republic of China, and former capital of the Western Xia Empire of the Tanguts. It has an area of 4,467 km (2,776 mi) and the city alone has a population of 1.99 million. The name of the city literally means “silver river.”
Thanks to the Yellow River, Yinchuan enjoys beautiful natural sceneries and favourable conditions for agriculture and has long earned the fame of a “River Side City in the Northwest” and “Home to Fishes and Rice”. Yinchuan is now the permanent site for China-Arab Expo which is an international platform for cultural and economic exchanges between China and Arab countries.
