Yanchi County ({{zh|s=盐池县|t=鹽池縣|p=Yánchí Xiàn|w=Yan²-ch'ih² Hsien⁴}}, Xiao'erjing: يًاچِ ثِيًا) is a county under the administration of Wuzhong city in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of China, bordering the provinces of Shaanxi to the east and Gansu to the south, as well as Inner Mongolia to the north. Covering a total area of {{convert|6787|km2|abbr=on}}, it has a population of about 150,000 people.

Characteristics

Yanchi County is one of China's most impoverished counties. Economic development has been slow, because much of the land in the county is wasteland with alkali soil, making farming difficult. Also, to cancel agricultural taxes on these lands, the county government has in recent years developed the cultivation of honey and high-tech herbs. The town of Huamachi serves as the location for the county government offices. The county's postal code is 751500.
