The Helan Mountains, frequently called Alashan Mountains in older sources, are an isolated desert mountain range forming the border of Inner Mongolia's Alxa League and Ningxia. They run north-south parallel to the north-flowing Yellow River in the Ordos Loop section. The river is mostly east of the mountains, but in the north it crosses without making a significant gorge and flows on the west side. To the west lies the extremely arid Tengger Desert, while to the east is an irrigated area beside the Yellow River, in which lie the cities of Yinchuan and Shizuishan - a little further east of which lies the Mu Us portion of the Ordos Desert. To the north lies the Inner Mongolian city of Wuhai.

They are about 200 km from north to south, from 15 to 50 km wide and average about 2000 meters in altitude (the Yellow River here is about 1,100 meters above sea level). Their highest peak is 3,556 metres (11,667 ft).


Emerging wine industry


With the increasing popularity of Ningxia wines, the Chinese authorities have given approval to the development of the eastern base of the Helan Mountains as an area suitable for wine production. Several large Chinese wine companies including Changyu and Dynasty Wine have begun development in the western region of the province. Together they now own 20,000 acres of land for wine plantations and Dynasty has ploughed 100 million yuan into Ningxia. In addition, the major oil company China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation has founded a grape plantation near the Helan Mountains. The household appliance company Midea has also begun participating in Ningxia's wine industry.[1]

Las montañas Helan (en chino, 贺兰山; pinyin, Hèlán Shān, frecuentemente llamadas montañas Alashan en mongol, Алшаан уулс ᠎‍᠎‍‌᠍ᠠᠯᠠᠱᠠ᠎‍‌᠍᠎‍ ᠎‍‌᠍᠎‍‌᠍ᠠᠭᠤᠯᠠ Alaša aγula) en fuentes antiguas, es una cordillera aislada de montañas desérticas de la República Popular China que forman la frontera entre la Liga Alxa de Mongolia Interior y Ningxia. La cordillera corre en dirección N-S, paralela al río Amarillo que discurre hacia el norte en la sección del bucle de Ordos. El río está en su mayoría al este de las montañas, pero en el norte las cruza por una importante garganta para luego ir hacia el oeste, donde se encuentra un desierto severo. Al este se encuentra una zona de regadío con las ciudades de Yinchuan y Shizuishan.

[it] Monti Helan

I monti Helan, noti più comunemente con il vecchio nome di monti Alashan, sono una catena montuosa desertica e isolata che costituisce il confine tra la lega dell'Alxa (Mongolia Interna) e il Ningxia. Corrono da nord a sud parallelamente al fiume Giallo, che scorre verso nord nella regione dell'altopiano dell'Ordos. Il fiume scorre prevalentemente a est delle montagne, ma nel settore settentrionale esso le attraversa senza formare una gola particolarmente imponente e scorre lungo il loro margine occidentale. Nel settore occidentale delle montagne il paesaggio è costituito da un deserto molto arido, mentre in quello orientale l'area è ben irrigata e vi sorgono le città di Yinchuan e Shizuishan.
