Qingshuihe County (Mongolian:ᠴᠢᠩ ᠱᠦᠢ ᠾᠧ ᠰᠢᠶᠠᠨ;Chinese:清水河县) is acounty ofInner Mongolia Autonomous Region,NorthChina, it is under the administration of theprefecture-level city ofHohhot, the capital of the autonomous region, borderingShanxi province to the south and east. It is the southernmostcounty-level division of the regional capital ofHohhot, which lies more than 100 kilometres (62 mi) to the north.
In 2005, the county council started development on a new city, 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of the existing town of Qingshuihe, closer to Hohhot. Chinese media reports said the scheme would have cost more than $6b yuan ($880m, £610m) in total, many times more than the county government's annual expenditure. The council expected either local, regional or national help to complete the project, but this was not approved. In 2007, money for the project ran out, and development stopped, leaving both a half-developed and unoccupied city, as well as a lack of finances and resource to maintain the existing town.[2]
Horinger County is made up of 4towns and 4townships.
