Minning town
in Yongning county of Ningxia Hui autonomous region
The Minning town in Northwest China's Ningxia Hui autonomous region was a barren place some 20 years ago. The name "Minning" is a portmanteau comprising two Chinese characters associated with Fujian and Ningxia.
Over the past years, the town has witnessed a surge in residential income through the development of tourism, plantation, photovoltaic and other industries with the assistance of Fujian province.
The population there expanded from 8,000 to 66,000. In 2020, the per capita yearly disposable income of residents reached 14,960 yuan ($2,309) and the village's collective economic income hit over 6 million yuan.
