贺兰山体育场

Helan Mountain Stadium stands at the junction of Helan West Road and Jinbo North Street in Xixia District, Yinchuan, occupying the north-east corner of the Yinchuan Sports Centre campus and the middle of the Ningxia Sports Centre grounds. Work began in May 2009, the stadium was completed in 2012, and it covers about 295,400 square metres of land with 106,300 square metres of floor area, a height of 46 metres and a total investment of roughly 700 million yuan. Capacity is just under 40,000, with club records citing 39,872 seats; it is Ningxia's first comprehensive Class A stadium. Continuous arched shells wrap the bowl, giving a silhouette locals call the Little Bird's Nest, and the elevations carry Islamic architectural motifs. Inside are an international-standard 400-metre track and a natural-turf football pitch. The track surface is imported Italian rubber, the pitch covers nearly 7,800 square metres, and 498 floodlights, thirty sets of imported sound equipment and a full-colour LED screen meet international single-sport and domestic multi-sport requirements. In August 2017 the stadium hosted a South America versus Europe all-star match with Ronaldinho and Figo; on 20 September 2018 it held the celebration marking sixty years of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region; concerts in May and September 2025 drew 30,000 and 25,000 spectators. In August 2025 it staged Group E of the qualifying tournament for the 2026 AFC U-20 Women's Asian Cup, for which the 7,800 square metres of turf and the goals were replaced; China beat Syria 6-0 and Lebanon 8-0 here. Yinchuan Sports Centre operates the stadium on a free or low-fee basis, and its table-tennis training base, roller hockey rink, skating rink and swimming pool serve the public year round. Buses 101, 47, 48 and 49 stop at the stadium, drivers reach it from the northern ring expressway via Qinshui Street, and major events bring temporary road controls and shuttle services.
