Ordos City

Ordos City extends over 86,881 square kilometers within the Ordos Plateau, containing eight administrative divisions at an elevation of 1,305 meters.

The region transformed from Ih Ju League to prefecture-level city status in 2001, marking a shift from its traditional nomadic territorial organization.

The name derives from the Mongolian word for palaces, reflecting the mix of Han Chinese and Mongolian populations in the administrative region.

The administrative center contains government offices accessible through the official website ordos.gov.cn, with the postal code 017000 for municipal communications.

Archaeological findings near the Sarawusu River reveal human settlements dating back 100,000 years, establishing the region as a center of Paleolithic culture.
