Tongliao, Administrative division in Inner Mongolia, China
Tongliao is a city in eastern Inner Mongolia characterized by vast agricultural and pastoral lands that shape its economy and landscape. The region benefits from fertile soils that sustain both farming communities and livestock herding.
During the Qing dynasty, the region served as a center for horse pastures, then transformed into an administrative seat in the early 20th century. This shift marked the transition from pastoral traditions to modern urban development.
The annual Nadam Fair runs from July through August, showcasing traditional Mongolian competitions in wrestling, archery, and horse racing. Visitors can observe these customs that remain central to the identity of the local population.
The city has an airport, railway station, and road network connecting to larger regional centers. These transport links make it accessible for visitors arriving from different directions.
The Printmaking Art Center features Horqin printmaking techniques depicting traditional Mongolian scenes through regional artistic traditions. This art form has deep local roots and distinguishes itself from other artistic styles found elsewhere.
