The Yellow River Grand Canyon is in Qingtongxia, Ningxia, where the Yellow River cuts through the Qingtong Gorge and a dam closes its mouth. On the hillside of the west bank stand the 108 Stupas, the largest group of Lamaist stupas in China, ranged on twelve terraces in a triangle; Western Xia relics have been found inside them.
