Introduction to Arukhorqin Banner in Inner Mongolia, China

Located in the northeast of Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China, Arukhorqin Banner is situated in the transition zone between the mountains at the southern foothills of the Daxinganling Mountains and the horqin sands, with a total area of about 14,000 square kilometers. The flag, with the Mongols as the main ethnic group, retains a strong nomadic culture and traditional Naadam festivities. Historically, it was one of the political centers of the Liao Dynasty, and a group of imperial tombs of the Liao Dynasty and a large number of cultural relics and sites have been found in the territory.

Natural Ecology and Resource Characteristics

Arukhorqin Banner has diverse ecosystems such as grassland, sand, wetland, etc., and is an important area for water conservation of the West Liao River. It produces high-quality pasture and livestock products, and is known as "China's Grass Capital". It is rich in mineral resources, with more than 20 kinds of minerals such as oil, coal and metal ores proven. In recent years, the ecological construction has achieved remarkable results, and the trend of land sanding has been effectively curbed through the project of returning pasture to grass.
