About Western Xia Royal Tombs
The Western Xia Tombs are located on the eastern foothills of the southern section of the Helan Mountain Range in Yinchuan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. They are situated in the northwestern part of the Yinchuan Plain in Ningxia, stretching from Yushugou in Helan Mountain in the south to Quanqigou in the north, extending eastward to the Xigan Canal and westward to the foot of Helan Mountain. The tomb complex spans approximately 4.5 kilometers from east to west and over 10 kilometers from north to south, with a total area of about 50 square kilometers (some sources claim an area of nearly 40 square kilometers). The Western Xia Tombs include nine imperial tombs, 271 burial tombs, one large architectural site (the northern architectural site), 32 flood-control project sites, as well as numerous brick-and-tile kiln sites and lime kiln sites.
