Hongsibu District (simplified Chinese: 红寺堡区; traditional Chinese: 紅寺堡區; pinyin: Hóngsìbǔ Qū (official), Hóngsìpǔ Qū (local)[4]) is a district within the prefecture-level city of Wuzhong in the autonomous region of Ningxia, China.
Hongsibu is located 127 kilometres (79 mi) south of the regional capital Yinchuan.
[7] The terrain is higher in the south than the north and the elevation generally ranges between 1240 and 1450 m above sea level.
[8][9] In the most ambitious scheme of its kind in China,[10] water was diverted from the Yellow River to create and irrigate 60 square kilometres (23 sq mi) of new agricultural land.
[16] The Dingbian–Wuwei, Fuzhou–Yinchuan, and Gunquan-Hongsibu (formerly S19, now signed as G6) expressways run through the northern part of the district, as does the Taiyuan–Zhongwei–Yinchuan Railway.
