Ulan Hua

Ulan Hua lies in the pasture country of the Sizi Mongols north of the Yin Mountains. In 1649 the Qing moved the Sizi from the Greater Khingan region to graze here, seeking to secure the frontier against threats from the northern and western steppe. Their banner later joined the Urat, Muumyangan and Khalkha Right banners in the Ulanqab League, whose leaders met to administer affairs among their neighbouring pastures.
