China News Service reporter Li Aiping
"You still live in a yurt. Do you ride to school every day?"
"Do you eat hand-made meat every day?"
Wei Yuefei, 43, believes that these "humorous questions" that appear from time to time on the Internet are all "misreadings." As a witness to the changes in this city, his other identity is the deputy director of the Bureau of Culture, Sports, Tourism, Radio, Film and Television in Yuquan District, Hohhot.
"Now that the high-speed rail and subway are connected, and the construction of the new airport is underway, Hohhot's degree of internationalization is not inferior to that of similar provincial capitals." On August 2, when Wei Yuefei interviewed, he believed that Hohhot, a famous historical and cultural city, is gradually showing her. International style.

Hohhot, located on the border of northern China, is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization. In the pre-Qin period, King Zhao Wuling established Yunzhong County here, and it was the capital of Suiyuan Province during the Republic of China. After the merger of Mongolia and Sui, Hohhot became the capital of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Hohhot is also an important border city open to Mongolia and Russia.
"In previous years, in the Dazhao historical and cultural tourist area in Hohhot, foreign guests could be seen almost every day." Wei Yuefei told reporters that no matter Chinese and foreign guests want to understand the history and culture of Hohhot, the historical and cultural tourist area of Dazhao is the first choice.
"The main attractions in the historical and cultural tourist area of Dazhao include Dazhao, Yuquan Well, Yueming Tower, Alatan Khan Bronze Statue, God of Wealth Temple, Guanyin Temple, Tumote Confucian Temple, Baoerhan Pagoda, Hongqingzhao, and Namoqi Call and wait." Wei Yuefei said, tourists always pick up their phones or cameras to take pictures here.
Local citizen Wu Wenqing told reporters: "Many guests from other places have seen the handicrafts, antique calligraphy and paintings in the Dazhao historical and cultural tourist area, and after tasting the local specialties, they often joked that you are not going to school on horseback. "

The "misread" Hohhot is actually full of tall buildings, and the yurt in the city only exists as a landscape. Many local people told reporters: "Almost every few months, Hohhot has great changes. The Qingcheng Post Station built in the local urban area not only solves the difficulty of public toilets, but also becomes a beautiful local landscape."
The changes in the city are also reflected in the local transformation of the old neighborhoods.
The Dairy Factory Community of Four Kilometers Community in Hohhot City, built in the 1980s, was included in the demolition plan. After the demolition project was stopped, due to lack of management, domestic garbage was scattered everywhere, and residents complained.
After the completion of the renovation of the old community in the Dairy Factory Community in 2017, the resident Li Desheng built a "le bar" with a pergola at his own expense for the community residents to gather and cool off in summer. He said: "Our happiness index is getting higher every day."
The people's material life has improved, and their spiritual needs have increased. Now this community has set up a residents activity center, and people come to sing, dance, play chess, and practice calligraphy every day. Residents said: "The environment is getting better and better, and the mood is getting better and better."
At the foot of the mountain far away from the urban area of Hohhot, the intangible cultural heritage town of Moni Mountain, the first large open-air museum in Inner Mongolia and even China, has gradually become a new business card for the local community.
The person in charge Jia Hongwei introduced that the “intangible cultural heritage projects” in and around Hohhot will be displayed in a concentrated manner, forming an intangible cultural heritage creation area, an intangible cultural heritage display area, an intangible cultural heritage experience area, and an intangible cultural heritage research and study base where many artisans gather. In December 2018, the intangible cultural heritage town was rated as a national AAA-level scenic spot and four-star rural (pasture) tourist reception. "In previous years, some tourists from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have come, and some foreigners like it very much."

The latest "status update" in Hohhot is the start of construction of the new airport. Officials said that the opening of the new airport will become an important link between China and Mongolia and Russia.
"After nearly 8 years of preparations, Hohhot's new airport has officially entered the construction phase." Hohhot Mayor Zhang Baicheng said that as a key project in the 13th Five-Year Plan of Civil Aviation of China, the completion of the new airport project will enhance the attractiveness and radiation of the region. It is of great significance and far-reaching influence to promote Hohhot and help the high-quality economic development of Inner Mongolia.
Big data cloud computing also embodies the technological energy of this city. As the core area of the "National Big Data Comprehensive Demonstration Zone", the local server installed capacity reaches 720,000 units, ranking it among the top in China. There are direct links to 15 major cities in China, forming a channel network system connecting the whole country and Russia, Mongolia and Europe.
"It is foreseeable that the future of Hohhot will definitely become more and more international." Wei Yuefei said that occasionally ridicule "riding to school" is nothing, the real Hohhot is stepping into "all-round well-off level." (End) )
