Shaan-Gan-Ning Border Region
Shaan–Gan–Ning or in postal romanization Shen–Kan–Ning (traditional Chinese: 陝甘寧邊區; simplified Chinese: 陕甘宁边区; pinyin: Shǎn-Gān-Níng Biānqū) was one of the two border region governments with the capital at Yan'an, named after the provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia. It was created by the Chinese Communist Party in agreement with the Kuomintang as a part of the Second United Front policy, substituting the former anti-Kuomintang Soviets.

The second region that was created was the Jin–Cha–Ji Border Region (晉察冀邊區; 晋察冀边区; Jìn-Chá-Jì Biānqū). It is lesser known because the name refers to the old geographic realities, which were Shanxi, Chahar, and Hebei, respectively.
