Daolansi Ribei (Seven-Layer Mountain)

Daolansi Ribei, which means "Seven-Layer Mountain" in Mongolian, is located within the territory of Wulan Hada Sumu, covering a total area of approximately 75 square kilometers. The mountain consists of seven east-west mountain ridges, arranged from south to north as Baxingqi Ribei, Alataiyin Ribei, Wengen Ribei, Hunqiri Ribei, Aobao Ribei, Wulin Ribei, and Dahulayin Ribei. The main peak, Aobao Ribei, has an elevation of 1,761 meters.

It covers an area of about 10 square kilometers.

Viewed from above, Daolansi Ribei resembles seven unconnected natural barriers; up close, it looks like seven giant dragons vying for height and dominance. Its unique geographical grandeur not only serves as a natural landmark for orientation but also as a paradise for wild argali sheep.

The area around Daolansi Ribei features crisscrossing ravines, gurgling springs, lush pastures, and robust livestock, making it a long-coveted natural pasture on the Ulanqab Grassland. The region is rich in underground mineral resources such as fluorite and quartz. The Sea Bottom Stone Forest in the southeast of the Sumu, with its bizarre rock formations, is also a great destination for sightseeing.
