Plan a trip to Baotou

Baotou is the largest industrial city in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of northern China. The area now known as Baotou was inhabited since ancient times by nomads, most notably the Mongols. Near the end of the Han Dynasty, Lu Bu, a particularly noteworthy warrior, was born in today's Jiuyuan District of Baotou. The 39,000 capacity Baotou Olympic Sports Centre Stadium is the main sports venue in the city and is used mostly for football matches. The largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Inner Mongolia, Badekar Monastery is located in Shiguai District.
