The geographical location of the grassland:

From a geographical and landform perspective: the Inner Mongolia Plateau starts from the Daxingan Mountains and Sukshelu Mountains in the east, and reaches Gansu in the west Mazong Mountain is located at the northwest end of the Hexi Corridor in the province, along the Great Wall to the south and Mongolia to the north.

With an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, the terrain is gently undulating and has obvious seasonal changes, which is suitable for the growth of Gramineae and Asteraceae, thus creating the vast Inner Mongolia prairie. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built a city here to farm and raise horses as a base for defense and attack against the Huns.

The famous Chinese historian and archaeologist Jian Bozan once pointed out in his famous article "Visiting Ancient Times in Inner Mongolia" that "as soon as we left Juyongguan and passed through a rugged mountain road, the ancient world opened up in front of us. A vast wilderness, a wilderness whose edges can’t be seen with a telescope, is what was called in ancient times “Beyond the Great Wall”

It can be seen that the natural extension of the Inner Mongolia Plateau gives many areas in northern China similar landform characteristics. , which laid the geological foundation for the natural extension of the Inner Mongolia prairie.
