Helan Shan, mountain range of north central China. The mountains, with peaks as high as 3,700 m (12,000 ft), are on the borders of Gansu Province and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, about 240 km (about 150 mi) northwest of the city of Ning Xian. Northwest of the mountains, and shielded by them from moisture-carrying air currents, is the totally arid Tengger Desert, inhabited only by nomads.
