Features: "Exploring China" focuses on independent travel, but more on human geography. 34 cultural celebrities guide you on a spiritual journey through China, and travel experts tailor-made travel guides for you. This book is one of the "Exploring China" series, providing readers with the most comprehensive information on tourism in Gansu and Ningxia. It includes relevant human geography knowledge to understand before departure, information on clothing, food, accommodation, and transportation to master before setting off, as well as numerous recommendations and special reminders from "locals." As the homeland of Fuxi and Nüwa, Gansu is one of the earliest regions in Chinese history for economic development, especially for agricultural cultivation and ancient cultural development, and is an important 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 homeland of the Hui people, Ningxia has over 3,000 mosques, both large and small, making it a true Muslim-inhabited area.
