History As one of the cradles of Chinese ancient civilization, Ningxia witnessed human activities as far back as some 30,000 years. As early as the 3rd century BC, Ningxia and its surrounding areas were incorporated into the Qin Dynasty. In the 11th century, Li Yuanhao established the Western Xia Dynasty there. Ningxia became a strategic link for transportation and trade between West and East China. It then came under Mongol domination after Genghis Khan conquered Yinchuan in the early 13th century. The authorities changed its name to Ningxia, which means peaceful Western Xia. History In 1929, Ningxia became a detached province. Between 1914 and 1928, the Kuomintang General Ma Hongkui ruled the region and was the military Governor with absolute authority in the province. After 1949, the provincial designation was revoked.
