Hohhot is a national historical and cultural city with a long history and splendid culture, and it is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization. In the pre-Qin period, King Wuling of Zhao set up Yunzhong County here, so the address was in Tuoketuo County, southwest of Hohhot.
During the Republic of China, it was the capital of Suiyuan Province. After the merger of Mongolia and Suiyuan, Hohhot became the capital of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The downtown area of Hohhot was originally formed by the merger of Guihua City and Suiyuan City in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, hence the name Guisui. 1954 was renamed Hohhot, which means "blue city" in Mongolian.
