Bayanhot is a town in Alxa Left Banner, it is the capital and largest town of Alxa League. Its name originates from Mongolian meaning 'rich town'.[1] It was formerly known as Dingyuanying (Template:Zh) or Wang Ye Fu.[2] In 2010 the population was 94,445.[3]
The town is bordered by the Helan Mountains in the east and by the Tengger Desert in the west.[4]
The town was established in 1730 as Dingyuanying and renamed to Bayanhot in 1952. It has historically been supplied from nearby Yinchuan,[5] and still retains good transport links with the capital of Ningxia.
The Alxa Baraghun Hiid, a large Mongol Buddhist monastery was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution but rebuilt in 2001. The Yanfu Buddhist temple has survived as one of the old Mongol town landmarks.[6]
