Helan Mountain Rock Art Scenic Area
In ancient times, Helan Mountain was a place where northern ethnic minorities such as the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turkic, Uyghur, Tibetan, and Tangut peoples lived, hunted, and thrived.

The heart of Helan Mountain stretches over 200 kilometers from north to south, with only about 20 rock paintings remaining. The most typical ones are the Helankou rock paintings.
