Khuuchid

Khuuchid is the country of the Khuuchid Mongols, whose pastures extended along the lower Xilin River. Once associated with the Chahar, they came under Qing rule in the seventeenth century. The Qing established a left banner in 1646 and a right banner in 1653. Both later joined the Xilingol League, where the leaders of several neighbouring Mongol banners met to settle common affairs.
