Wuzhong is situated in the center of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, neighboring Yinchuan in the north. It is bordered by Shaanxi Province in the east and also shares boundaries with Inner Mongolia and Gansu Province. The Loess Plateau, Ordos Massif, alluvial plain of the Yellow River, and mountainous area all reach into the city. The terrain of Wuzhong generally declines south-north. Its northern area belongs to the Yinchuan Plain, while the south has a distribution of hills and mountains.
Wuzhong currently has a population of 306,000 and covers a total area of 1,112 square kilometers. The municipal government has jurisdiction over one district (Litong), 2 counties (Yanchi and Tongxin), and one county-level city (Qingtongxia).
Wuzhong is an inland city, bearing a temperate semi-dry continental climate. It has four distinct seasons, but summer is not hot. As one of the cities in China with the most hours of yearly sunshine, Wuzhong’s rich land is favored for the planting of agricultural products. Generally, the temperature varies greatly during the day and night.
