Hobor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hobor (科布尔镇); a town over 40km northwest of Jining in Inner Mongolia, People's Republic of China. Also known as T'ao-Lin, Tao-lin-hsien, Taolinxian 陶林县, it is now the administrative center of the Chahar Right Middle Banner (察哈尔右翼中旗). Hobor is a crossroads town where roads linking the north of the province pass through the Yin Mountains to Jining and Hohhot (Kweisui) in the Yellow River valley to the southeast. This key location on the route to Suiyuan's capital Kweisui provoked the battle of Hongge'ertu 红格尔图, between the invading Inner Mongolian Army and National Revolutionary Army during the Suiyuan Campaign of 1936.
