Ningxia is the smallest of the five autonomous regions of China. It lies between 104°17'-107°40'E and 35°14'-39°22'N, in the northwest of the country.
The Huanghe flows through the central and northern parts of the province, which also has a dense network of canals which has been created over many hundreds of years. Three quarters of the territory is composed of high-lying plateaus - with Liupanshan in the south - and the other quarter consists of lowland plains (around Yinchuan). The highest mountain is Helanshan (3556m/11,667ft).
Ningxia is dominated by a typical continental climate with an annual mean temperature of 7°C (45°F). Winters are very harsh indeed (the average January temperature being as low as -10°C (14°F)), while the summers are not particularly hot (the average July temperature is 20°C (68°F)). The annual rainfall is less than 200 mm/8in.
