Located in the westernmost end of Inner Mongolia, the scenic resort is
composed of Wuhai City and the Arxa League. Gobi is the main landscape
Other natural landscapes include the Huanghe River and the Helan Mountains.
With a dramatic change of the environment in modern times, the situation of
desertification has aggravated. Quite a few places of historic interest are now
buried under sand. Ruins of Heicheng, an ancient city indistinctly among sand
dunes, now are the most mysterious tourism resources.
Ruins of Heicheng:
Located on the eastern bank of the lower reaches
of the Ejin River in the Alxa League, the ruins of
Heicheng City are the best-preserved of ancient towns
on the Silk Road. Heicheng was the capital of Western
Xia Kingdoem founded by the people of the Dangxiang
tribe. The city features a gate in the middle of the
eastern and western city wall, fortified with a barbican
The city walls still stand ten meters above the ground
In the southwest outside the city, a mosque with a
vaulted roof stands intact in the wilds. There is an
area outside Heicheng. The local herdsmen refer it to
as a mysterious black sand dune.
