Jining District (Mongolian:ᠵᠢᠨᠢᠩ ᠲᠣᠭᠣᠷᠢᠭ;Chinese:集宁区) is an urbandistrict that serves as the administrative seat ofUlanqab, a region governed as aprefecture-level city in the mid-western part ofInner Mongolia, China. It has an area of approximately 114.2 km2 and is in the southern foothills of theYinshan mountains.
As of 2011, it had a population of roughly 377,100, including members of theMongol,Hui,Manchu,Daur,Tibetan,Uyghur,Hmong, andYinational minorities.
Administratively speaking, Ulanqab is a "city" and Jining a "district", in reality Jining is ade facto city, while Ulanqab is an administrative division covering a much larger area. Seeprefecture-level city for more information on this arrangement.
Jining South Railway Station (集宁南站) serves as a railway intersection: theTrans-Mongolian Railway terminates her and runs via the border town ofErenhot (Erlian) through Mongolia to Russia in the north,Hohhot andBaotou to the west,Shanxi province'sDatong to the south, and theJining–Tongliao railway to the east.
Recorded human activity in the Jining area dates back to theShang dynasty. It was originally named Bingzhou (并州). In the Song dynasty it was part of theYunzhong Commandery (云中府); it was placed under the administration ofDatong during theJin dynasty (1115–1234). During theYuan dynasty, it was named "Jining" for the first time. In 1675, the Jining area was placed under the administration of thePlain Yellow Banner ofChahar Province, and in 1750 was transferred toFengzhen City's administration. In 1922, it was renamed Jining and became a municipality, and the following year acounty. In 1948 Jining fell under the control of the Communist Party. The urban core was subsequently renamed Chengguan Town (roughly, "urban district"), then Pingdiquan Town (平地泉), then finally back to Jining in April 1956.
In 2004,UlanqabLeague, to which it is the seat of government, was 'converted' to aprefecture-level city, and Jining is correspondingly changed from acounty-level city to adistrict. Ulanqab is named Chaborte in the writings of P. Evariste Huc.
Jining District is divided into 8subdistricts, 1town, and 1township.
