Located in the northern reaches of Inner Mongolia, Hailar is the largest
city in the Hulunbuir Prefecture, with a total population of around
220,000 and an area of 1440 square kilometers. The city, as befits
its remoteness, is not the most exciting of places, a mainly industrial
and agricultural area that sees few tourists. Your most probable reason
for visiting here is not for the city itself but for the rolling grasslands
that stretch for endless miles, located not far away.The city has
had some odd names in its time, from the "pearl of the grassland"
(Caoyuan mingzhu), presumably when it was both smaller and an oasis
of action for the wandering herdsmen, to "a place with wild leek"
(Ye jiucai di), probably after the plants that used to line both sides
of the Hailar River. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the city,
however, is that it is a place a ethnic diversity. There are 25 different
resident minority groups in Hailar, including the more common Han,
Mongol and Hui and less prevalent groups such as the Manchurians,
Koreans, Ewink and Daur peoples.
