The northward facing Helan Mountain and the fertile Yinchuan Plain have nurtured the beautiful and prosperous Oasis in the Northwest China, a land of plenty. This is Helan county, named after its mountains and thriving on its waters. I am Li Fei, director of the Business and Investment Promotion Bureau of Helan county.

The location here is superior, with convenient transportation. Helan county is situated in the central region of the Ningxia Hui autonomous region, guarding the northern gateway to the capital Yinchuan. It is the central area of the "Hohhot-Baotou-Yinchuan-Lanzhou-Qinghai" economic belt and an important part of the "Yinchuan-Yulin-Ordos" energy golden triangle. Baotou-Lanzhou Railway runs north to south and Yinchuan-Xi'an High-Speed Railway crosses east to west, resulting in a comprehensive transportation network.

This place is blessed with unique advantages and abundant resources. Helan county covers over 1,200 square kilometers and has a population of 350,000. The scenery is picturesque and full of vitality. It is crisscrossed with natural landscape tours through Helan Mountain National Forest Park, historical relics tours such as to the Helan Mountain rock paintings and the Twin Towers of Baisikou Temple, as well as the rural leisure tours to Peony Flower Village and the Starlight hostels businesses. It has successively won 27 national awards, including being recognized as an advanced county in the field of scientific development and one of the top 100 counties with the most regional driving force in small and medium-sized cities.

Here, industries gather to realize joint development. Helan county adheres to the guidance of the new development concept, forging a chain of characteristic industries in the "two new, two special, two zones, and six towns." The "two new" industries of new materials and new foods have strong momentum. Helan county has introduced and nurtured 29 new material production enterprises and 83 new food processing enterprises. Industries such as the silicon carbide, aluminum nitride and aluminum oxide have been developed, leading to a new height in the electronic ceramics industry. Products like Baihong’s Permanent Violet RL and Hengkang’s Metformin have become "national champions" in industry. Products like Bairuiyuan goji, Hosenji beverage, and Saishang Dairy protein powder have entered millions of households and have gained acclaim both locally and nationally. The "two special" industries, namely the pre-made meal industry and rainfall-related crop planting industry, are poised for development. Helan county aims to become a model area for high-quality development in the pre-made meal industry, nurturing and developing 36 pre-made meal production and processing enterprises, with an annual output value exceeding 1.7 billion yuan ($234.79 million). As the largest county in Northwest China's fishing industry, Helan county's fishery output value has reached 810 million yuan, with products such as micropterus salmoides, sturgeon, penaeus vannamei, and rice field crabs selling well in the Northwest region. The county has distinct advantages in e-commerce express logistics and automobile sales and services aggregation areas. Helan county accounts for over 70 percent of the total express logistics volume in the region, with five major logistics companies sharing warehouses and forming hubs. The Desheng area of Helan county radiates automobile sales to a surrounding area of 500 kilometers, with major automobile brands developing clusters and accounting for over 50 percent of sales in the region. Industries such as rice and fish farming, goji berries, wine, flowers, healthcare and sports are diversifying and developing distinct characteristics, becoming popular destinations and injecting new vitality into the region's development.
