Ulanhot lies in the eastern part of Inner Mongolia, on the edge of the Greater Khingan range where grassland meets forested hills. The town is modest and modern, and has a particular place in the region's political history as the seat of the first autonomous regional government.
The building where the autonomous government was founded is preserved as a museum and is the town's principal historic site. The surrounding grassland and the Khingan foothills are the regional landscape, and Mongolian cultural traditions including horsemanship remain part of local life.
Buses and taxis cover the town, and the centre is compact. Rail and road connections run toward Ulanhot's regional neighbours, and reaching the grassland needs a hired car.
Summer is short, mild and much the best for the grassland, which is green only briefly. Winters are long and severely cold on this side of the range.
