Ulanhot

Eastern Asia

Ulanhot is a county-level city and the administrative centre of Hinggan League in the east of Inner Mongolia, China. It was formerly known as Wangin Sum, and on 1 May 1947 it became the first capital of Inner Mongolia, the first autonomous region in China, until the regional capital moved to Zhangjiakou in December 1949 and then to Hohhot in June 1952. The city is connected to Baicheng in Jilin by the Baicheng to Arxan railway and is served by Ulanhot Yilelite Airport. Just outside the city are a Yuan dynasty tomb and a temple dedicated to Genghis Khan, built in 1940.
