With a population of approximately 10 million, the Hui live in many areas of China but are concentrated in the Ningxia region. The Hui people first came to China from ancient Arabia and Persia, bringing with them their ancient traditions and their Muslim faith.
They practice the traditional religion called Opfoo Ope Chiina or also known as the 'forefathers' religion'. They believed in one Almighty God (Oramai) and also in many lesser spirits, both good and evil.
The ethnic composition of Ningxia includes the Han (Chinese), who constitute the majority of the population; Hui (Chinese Muslims), at more than one-third of the population, the largest minority group; and Manchu and small numbers of Tibetans and Mongols.
Ningxia is also known as the "Dreamland of the Stars". On both sides of the Yellow River- at the top of Liupan Mountain or at the foot of Helan Mountain, visitors can enjoy the great scenery of the Great Wall under the daylight and the star-lit sky whenever they look up at nighttime, as if in a wonderland.
