Contents

Background

Yinchuan is the capital and largest city of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. It has a population of over 2 million. The city has experienced a significant growth in population and economic importance over the past decades, partly because of China's Western Development strategy. [1]

Transport within and to Yinchuan has lagged behind the rest of China and nearby provincial capitals. Until completion of the Yinchuan–Xi'an high-speed railway in 2020, the city did not have any high-speed rail connections. [2]

In 2018 a 9.7 km monorail long loop line in Yinchuan's Flower Expo Garden opened, using BYD Skyrail technology. [3] [4]

In 2024, the city government stated that the city did not meet the GDP and population requirements of China's policy for urban rail planning and construction to start construction of the metro system. [5]

Planned network

The proposed network is to consist of 6 lines totaling 227.8 km (141.5 mi). [1] The plans were first announced in 2016. [6]
