Ningxia and its surrounding areas were incorporated into the Qin Dynasty as early as the third century BC. In the early thirteenth century, Genghis Khan conquered Yinchuan, its capital. After that, it became a region under control of Mongol. To keep out Mongols and other northern nomadic tribes, hundreds of kilometers great wall were built along the foot of Helan Mountain at the border of Ningxia and Inner Mongolia. So Ningxia is known as the Museum of the ancient Great Wall.
