## About Zalantun

Zhalantun is located in eastern Hulunbuir and is the only national-level scenic area in Inner Mongolia, as well as a China Excellent Tourism City. "Zhalan" means "canling" (参领) in Manchu, a military official title of the Qing dynasty. The area has clear waters and green mountains, distinct four seasons, and scenes reminiscent of Jiangnan (the Yangtze River region) can be found everywhere. The Binzhou Railway runs north to south, and National Highway 111 and inter-provincial trunk routes pass through the city. Zhalantun Genghis Khan Airport provides air service.
