'Ulan Hot' (; ; other variants include spellings like ''Ulaankhot'' or the name of the banner the town is located in, ''Horqin Youyi Qianqi'') is a county-level city and the administrative center of Hinggan League in the East of Inner Mongolia autonomous region. Between the years 1947 and 1950, Ulanhot was the capital of Inner Mongolia Region. In 1950, the capital moved to Zhangjiakou and then again in 1952 it moved to Hohhot, which remains the capital to this day.
The city is connected by the Trans-Siberia railway, which runs through the pass south of Ulanhot, to Baicheng in Jilin province. China's National Highway 302 runs from Tumen in Jilin to Ulanhot. In the 7918 Network of Highways it will be on the route from Hunchun to Ulanhot. The city is also served by Ulanhot Airport (ICAO code ZBUL and IATA code HLH). Routes flown by Air China and Hainan Airlines connect Ulanhot with Beijing Capital International Airport.
Just outside the city is a tomb from the Yuan dynasty and a temple dedicated to Genghis Khan (1167-1227). The temple was constructed in 1940. In the year 2002 it received funds for significant expansion.^[1]
