Baotou History

The area now known as Baotou was inhabited since ancient times by nomads, most notably the Mongols.

Han Dynasty

Near the end of the Han Dynasty, Lü Bu, who would grow up to become China's mightest and least trustworthy warrior, was born here. Compared to the capital, Hohhot, Baotou's construction as a city came relatively late, being incorporated as a town in 1809. The city's site was chosen because it was in an arable region of the Yellow River's Great Bend.

The 30s in the 20th century

A railway from Beijing was constructed in 1931, and the city began spurring some industrial sites.A German-Chinese joint-venture in 1934 constructed the Baotou Airport and opened a weekly route connecting Baotou withNingxia and Lanzhou.
