Naimugeng Mountain

      Naimugeng Mountain is situated in the northwest of the banner, approximately 45 kilometers northeast of the seat of Naimugeng Sumu. The mountain runs from north to south in a rectangular formation, with a relatively flat summit. It is about 15 kilometers long from north to south and 10 kilometers wide from east to west. Although it is classified as waterless grassland, the pasture is lush during the rainy season, often featuring seasonal small lakes, making it natural grazing land. Several obo (sacred stone heaps) are found on the mountaintop, among which the highest, “Uhaantiin Borhut Obo,” stands at an elevation of 1,129.9 meters. The mountain is also known for its local specialty, “fa cai” (a type of edible algae).

      It is renowned both in China and abroad. Due to its reddish soil, it is also called the Great Red Mountain. With its flat summit and excellent pasture, it resembles a natural zoo. Animals that are rare worldwide, such as argali (mountain sheep), can be spotted here; other wildlife like Mongolian gazelles and foxes are also frequently seen.

      At the foot of Naimugeng Mountain lies an endless expanse of grassland. In summer, the land is rich with water and grass, dotted with cattle and sheep, while larks sing, presenting a vibrant and flourishing scene. In winter, the area is covered in vast, snow-blanketed landscapes, embodying the classic scenery of northern China. The grand, beautiful, and fertile Naimugeng Mountain looks like a galloping steed.
