YINCHUAN -- A sculpture park including works made by artists from China and Arab states opened in northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region on Wednesday.

The park is located in the city of Yinchuan, capital of Ningxia, which is also the host city of the China-Arab States Expo, which kicks off Thursday.

A total of 41 works -- 26 made by artists from Arab states and 15 made by Chinese artists are displayed in the park.

The project of the sculpture park was launched in September 2015, an important cultural exchange project under the framework of the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum. More than 30 well-known sculptors from countries including Jordan, Egypt, Morocco and Iraq were previously invited to Yinchuan to create works for the project.
