What places does the Hetao area include?

Hetao is located in the north of the 37th latitude line, which refers to the land east of Helan Mountain, west of Luliang Mountain, south of Yinshan Mountain and north of the Great Wall. Including parts of Yinchuan Plain (Ningxia Plain), Ordos Plateau and Loess Plateau, they now belong to Ningxia, Inner Mongolia and Shaanxi. Here, the Yellow River first goes north along Helan Mountain, then goes east because of the barrier of Yinshan Mountain, and then goes south along Luliang Mountain, forming a zigzag shape, so it is called "Hetao".
