Produced in the counties along the Weihe River basin of the Guanzhong Plain in Shaanxi Province, with Xianyang, Pingguan Wugong, Qianxian and Liquan counties as the central production areas. This donkey has a tall and large build, with a body height of over 1.30 m and a body weight of 250-290 kg. It has a robust and sturdy constitution, small but solid hooves, strong disease resistance, good heredity, and strong endurance. The coat color of the Guanzhong donkey is mainly black, but the eye rims, nose, mouth and lower abdomen are mostly white or grayish-white, and for this reason it is known as having a "pink nose, bright eyes, and white belly," which is the characteristic of the Guanzhong donkey and also a necessary condition for breeding donkeys.
