Nowadays, Ningxia's wine, a rising star in the world's wine family, has won more than 1,000 prizes in international competitions. It includes gold medals at the Decanter World Wine Awards, the world's largest wine competition.

In 2021, Ningxia was awarded the title of "Global Wine Tourism Destination" by the Global Wine Tourism Organization.

This recognition has put Ningxia on the world map as an emerging wine region, and has helped to promote the region's wines and tourism offerings to the world. The recognition from GWTO has cemented Ningxia's reputation as a must-visit destination for wine lovers and travelers seeking unique and unforgettable experiences.

In 2013, the high-quality grape production area in the eastern foothills of Helan Mountain was included in the "World Wine Map". As a result, Ningxia was selected as one of the 46 best travel destinations in the world in 2013 by The New York Times, and was hailed as "the place where China's best wine can be brewed".
