As the homeland of Fuxi and Nüwa, Gansu is one of the earliest regions in Chinese history for economic development, particularly in agricultural cultivation and ancient cultural development. It is a vital cradle of the splendid culture of the Chinese nation. In Ningxia, traces of the fusion between nomadic cultures and the agricultural culture of the Central Plains can be seen everywhere. As a predominantly Muslim region, Ningxia is home to over 3,000 mosques, making it a true Muslim-majority area.
