History of Duolun County<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Duolun once had a splendid culture and history. In 1691, after defeating Ger Dan who had allied with Russia invading China, the Qing Emperor Kangxi met with the 48 dukes and 3 chieftains in Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia for reconciliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Duolun Meeting<\/strong> (\u5eb7\u7199\u4f1a\u76df) greatly enhanced the unity and formally finalized the northern frontier. Later in memory of the historical meeting in Duolun, Emperor Kang Xi ordered the building of Huizong Temple (\u6c47\u5b97\u5bfa\uff09in Duolun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later Emperor Yongzheng, the third emperor (reigned 1722\u201335) of the Qing dynasty (1644\u20131911\/12), he ordered the construction of Shanyin Lamasery (\u5584\u56e0\u5bfa). As a result, many important monasteries were founded there with imperial patronage, and Duolun became a most important center of Mongolian Buddhism in southern Mongolia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi, under the request of the dukes in Mongolia, permitted the merchants from inland China to set up business channels here in Duolu and gave preferential policies to the inland merchants who would do business in Duolun. Thus, numerous businessmen from Beijing, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Shandong flooded Duolun that formed a large team of businessmen travelling in Mongolia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At its peak, Duolun had over 4000 registered shops and stores. It became the largest commercial capital in Mongolia, the most important economic center in Mongolia during the Qing Dynasty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, its glorious past could be found from the well preserved Shanxi Guild Hall (\u5c71\u897f\u4f1a\u9986), Niang Niang Temple (\u5a18\u5a18\u5e99), Longxing Temple (\u5174\u9686\u5bfa), City God Temple (\u57ce\u968d\u5e99), Corporate Buildings and four Muslim mosques in Duolun County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
