"Cou-yuen-tcheou" and other "second-order" towns of Shaan-Gan from Du Halde's 1736 Description of China, based on reports from Jesuit missionaries
Guyuan (help·info) (Chinese: 固原; pinyin: Gùyuán), formerly known as Xihaigu(Chinese: 西海固; pinyin: xīhǎigù), is a prefecture-level city in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China. It occupies the southernmost section of the region. This is also the site of Mount Sumeru Grottoes (须弥山), which is among the ten most famous grottoes in China.[1] The area was declared by the United Nations to be, "one of China's most impoverished regions and one of the world's least habitable areas for human beings."[2]

Transportation
The city is served by Guyuan Liupanshan Airport, though travelers may also choose Zhongwei Xiangshan Airport and Yinchuan Hedong Airport as well. The Fuyin Expressway passes through the area on its way to the regional capital of Yinchuan.
As there is no high-speed railways to Guyuan, one of the fastest ways to travel to Guyuan from a major city is an approximately 4-hour drive from Yinchuan,[3] which is actually faster than traveling by train, which takes at least 5 hours.[4]
