Since ancient times, the Yellow River water has nourished this beautiful and rich land in Ningxia, and it is still benefiting the people of all ethnic groups in Ningxia today. Ningxia should have the overall concept and responsibility, cherish the Yellow River more, take good care of it, and strive to build a pioneering area for ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River basin.

Building a "Green Great Wall" by Sand Control and Afforestation in Baijitan
"Sand control is very ordinary, you have worked very hard, and the results are very gratifying and inspiring. This is an ordinary and great cause, and it has also strengthened our determination to control sand. We will fully support your cause." People in Baijitan remember the encouragement and exhortation given by the Supreme Leader when he visited here in 2008.
Ningxia Lingwu Baijitan National Nature Reserve (Baijitan Sand Protection Forest Farm) was established in 1953, and was promoted to a national nature reserve in 2000. Now, the total area of protected areas and forest farms is 1.48 million mu, which is located at the edge of Mu Us sandy land east of the Yellow River in Yinchuan City. The main problems before treatment are: First, the impact on the mother river-Yellow River, which is 5 kilometers away from the Yellow River and distributed in the region. Second, the drought has caused serious damage to sandstorms, which is located at the east gate of Yinchuan and the desert closest to the capital city. The annual rainfall is 150-170mm, and the sand dunes are tall and the natural restoration ability is extremely weak. The disastrous weather caused by sandstorms is harmful to industry and agriculture.
Since 2008, the sand control in Baijitan has been speeded up again, with the speed of 20,000 mu of sand control and planting green every year, pushing the desert 20 kilometers away, and building a green barrier combining trees, shrubs and grass with a length of 61 kilometers from north to south and a width of 20-30 kilometers from east to west, which has achieved remarkable results in artificially promoting natural restoration.
Wu Jingzhong, 55, is a second-generation ranger at Baijitan Management Station. In the forest he guards, there are old elms carried by his father and the older generation of Baijitan people. Every day, a person takes fire prevention tools and rides a motorcycle to patrol the forest for more than 20 kilometers, rain or shine, and never stops.
"Seeing here now, I still feel tears, because I once really sweated and shed tears in this place." When asked about the present life, Wu Jingzhong said with a smile, "Sand control has changed the harsh environment, the living conditions have been greatly improved, and people have lived more comfortably and at ease."
Over the past 60 years, the three generations of Baijitan people have been persistent, accumulating 630,000 mu of sand control and afforestation, controlling nearly one million mu of quicksand, and the forest coverage rate has reached 41%, effectively curbing the southward migration and westward expansion of Mu Us sandy land, protecting the ecological security of the Yellow River and Yinchuan Hedong, and becoming a model area for precise and scientific sand control in the Three North Project.

Promoting water, enriching people and strengthening water area
"High-platform architectural style in Qin and Han Dynasties, bronze twisted light steel roof." What caught the reporter’s eye was the Ningxia Water Conservancy Expo in the Xiakou area of Qingtongxia.
Ningxia Water Conservancy Expo, which was opened in March 2010, is divided into upper and lower floors, with a construction area of 4,085 square meters and an exhibition area of 2,850 square meters. There are 23 units in six parts in the museum, including preface hall, rhyme of a thousand years, prosperous times, water conservancy future, water conservancy culture and water conservancy figures. More than 700 pieces of cultural relics (objects) such as pentagonal ceramic water pipes in Han Dynasty, gray ceramic water pipes in Song Dynasty, Qushen Monument in the Republic of China, Hanqu Monument, Niugongde Zhengsheng Monument, etc. are displayed, and sand tables of Haowang Kaiqu, Saibei Jiangnan and other scenes are molded, and more than 2000 pieces are displayed comprehensively.
Since ancient times, Ningxia has existed only in the Yellow River and developed only in the Yellow River. Thanks to the selfless nurturing of the Yellow River mother, Ningxia’s water conservancy construction, despite dynasty changes and disaster twists and turns, has always continued to develop under the theme of national unity, openness, tolerance and civilization, which has played an important role in promoting agricultural and animal husbandry production and maintaining border stability.
It is understood that from Sima Qian’s "water is of interest" to Guo Shoujing’s "seeking new things from the old", from Qianlong Emperor’s "developing water conservancy to make the best use of the land" to Zhang Jincheng, the magistrate of Ningxia, "canals are the lifeblood of people in Ningxia", which inherited the profound understanding of predecessors on water control. Whenever the situation was stable, the regime at that time always regarded opening canals and opening up wasteland as a political priority. Supervising the people at the right time and developing water conservancy have created the prosperity of "the north of the Yangtze River and the south of the Yangtze River" and "the land of plenty".

Looking back at the history, the dredging of the river in the Han Dynasty, the dredging of the river in the Xixia Dynasty, the Gengli sluice weir in the Yuan Dynasty, the Shili long dike in the Ming Dynasty, and the large-scale canal opening in the Qing Dynasty all shine with the simple scientific concept of water control and the wisdom of promoting water control by the working people in Ningxia.
After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region fully implemented the central water control strategy, deeply understood the present situation of Ningxia’s survival by water, water poverty and water-only development, set off the climax of large-scale water conservancy construction, created a new situation of comprehensive water control, and formed a relatively perfect water conservancy engineering system such as irrigation, drainage, flood control and water conservation. Nowadays, adhering to the idea of "water saving in the north, water transfer in the middle and open source in the south", agricultural water conservancy has changed greatly to industrial water conservancy, urban water conservancy and ecological water conservancy. It provides basic support for the all-round development of regional economy and society.
With the development of agriculture, industrialization and urbanization, water has become the basic natural resource and strategic economic resource to promote the sustainable development of modern economy and society. Accelerating the reform and development of water conservancy is an important and urgent strategic task related to the overall situation of China’s socialist modernization and the long-term development of the Chinese nation.

The winery uses abandoned sandstone mining areas, reuses all kinds of abandoned building materials, integrates many Chinese elements from the traditional aesthetics of China, and inherits the architectural style of the Han Dynasty. It took six years to build a garden-style China Winery. After years of development, Yuanshi Winery has become a comprehensive winery integrating vineyard planting management, refined brewing, product research and development and wine cultural tourism.
It is understood that 92 wineries have been built at the foot of the east foot of Helan Mountain. By the end of 2019, the planting area of wine grapes in the eastern foot of Helan Mountain in Ningxia has reached 496,000 mu, which is the largest grape producing area in China, with a comprehensive output value of 26.1 billion yuan. The grape industry provides about 120,000 jobs for ecological immigrants every year, achieving an income of 900 million yuan.
The wine industry has become a well-deserved purple business card in Ningxia, which makes Ningxia wine "amazing in the world" and paints a brand-new picture for the high-quality economic development in Ningxia.
Ningxia is the place that the Supreme Leader General Secretary has been paying attention to and caring about, and it is an important ecological security barrier in the northwest region.
