The Premier Manor of North China’s Frontier — Manduo Mountain Villa is celebrated for its rustic and picturesque frontier scenery and abundant historical and cultural relics. It boasts natural wonders such as mountains, lakes, deserts, forests, and grasslands, as well as historical sites from the Liao and Yuan dynasties. It is a comprehensive, multi-functional resort that blends modern amenities with the ethnic charm of the northern grasslands, offering dining, accommodation, transportation, entertainment, shopping, fitness, and group conference facilities all in one.
Known as the Premier Manor of North China’s Frontier, Manduo Mountain Villa is located in Hexigten Banner (Jingpeng Town), Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Hexigten Banner lies in the northwest of Chifeng City, bordering Linxi County and Ongniud Banner to the east, Songshan District of Chifeng City and Weichang County of Hebei Province to the south, Duolun County and Zhenglan Banner of Xilin Gol League to the west, and close to Xilinhot City and Xi Ujimqin Banner of Xilin Gol League. It is 286 kilometers away from Chifeng City.
Manduo Mountain Villa gets its name from the nearby Manduo Mountain, where “Manduo” means a place where immortals reside. According to the History of Yuan: “In the 24th year of Zhiyuan (1287), the Mongolian Nayan tribe rebelled. Emperor Shizu Kublai Khan personally led his troops in a military campaign. Passing through this area, he stayed overnight at Yingchang. That night, a Buddha appeared atop the mountain, manifesting a golden body, vivid yet illusory... and thus Buddhist rituals were conducted for seven days and nights.”
Manduo Mountain Villa is famed for its rustic and picturesque frontier scenery and rich historical and cultural relics. The area features both natural landscapes such as mountains, lakes, deserts, and forests,
as well as historical sites from the Liao and Yuan dynasties. To the east lies the Gongger Grassland, to the south the Little Tengger Desert, to the west shrubbery forests, and to the north Lake Dalinor, one of Inner Mongolia’s four famous lakes.
Manduo Mountain Villa combines mountains, lakes, deserts, grasslands, and shrubbery forests into a unique natural wonder. With Manduo Mountain Villa at its center, 6 kilometers east lie the ruins of the Yuan Dynasty’s Longxing Temple and the Jingfan Shuiyun Cave; 15 kilometers west are the ruins of the Northern Yuan capital’s Luwang Palace; and 15 kilometers north are historic sites such as Genghis Khan’s Fortress. The mountaintop scenery of Manduo Mountain is even more extraordinary, with towering rocks that are strikingly lifelike, blending reality and illusion. There are over twenty scenic spots including the Manduo Great Buddha, Zhu Bajie Asks the Heavens, Zhang Fei Guards the Pass, Immortal’s Boots, and Shuiyun Cave, all of which captivate visitors.
