Dingyuanying Old City

📍 Bayanhot 🏛️ Historical

ℹ️ About

Dingyuanying, also called Woniu City, is in Bayanhot Town, Alxa League. Founded in 1697 under the Qing, it was an important military and trading centre. The old city is about 350 metres north to south and 700 metres east to west, with east and south gates and corner towers. Its courtyard houses earned it the name "little Beijing beyond the Great Wall", and the Alxa prince's mansion complex in the south-east takes up nearly half the area. It marks the Khoshut Mongols' shift from nomadic to settled life and is a national key cultural relic.
