The map
Minning is a town in Ningxia, in north-central China, set on the irrigated plain south of Yinchuan. It was built from the late 1990s to resettle families from the dry, mountainous south of the region, with support from Fujian province. The name joins the short forms of the two provinces: Min for Fujian and Ning for Ningxia. Its story was later dramatised in a popular television series.
Because it was planned in a short time, Minning's map is unusually regular. Wide avenues divide the town into rectangular blocks of housing, and many of the blocks repeat the same internal layout. Around the edge, the grid gives way to greenhouses, vineyards and field plots. The Helan Mountains rise to the west of this plain, and the Yellow River runs to the east.
A Minning map poster shows the logic of a town drawn on paper before it was built. The streets are straight and evenly spaced, and the blocks are nearly identical, so it reads almost like an architectural drawing. For anyone connected to the move that created it, the print records a new beginning in a form that is both personal and precise.
Minning's broad, evenly spaced avenues divide the town into repeating rectangular blocks. From above, the pattern is one of the most orderly among the region's towns.
At the edge of the town, the grid dissolves into long field plots and rows of greenhouses and vines. The result is a textured border around the dense core.
The town sits on the plain between the Helan Mountains to the west and the Yellow River to the east. Irrigation made settlement here possible.
