Located in the southeast of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China, Chifeng is a regional center city at the junction of Mongolia, Hebei and Liaoning provinces. As the birthplace of the Hongshan culture, it has a history of 8,000 years of human civilization, and the C-shaped jade dragon, known as the "First Dragon of China", was unearthed here.
Chifeng is located in the transition zone between the southern part of Daxinganling and the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain, with mountainous and hilly landscapes and the Keshiketeng World Geopark. The ecological landscapes such as Ulaanbaotun Grassland and Dalinuoer Lake are distributed in the territory, which is an important ecological barrier for the capital city of Beijing.
