Jining District ( Mongolian : ᠵᠢᠨᠢᠩ ᠲᠣᠭᠣᠷᠢᠭ ; Chinese : 集宁区 ) is an urban district that serves as the administrative seat of Ulanqab , a region governed as a prefecture-level city in the mid-western part of Inner Mongolia , China. It has an area of approximately 114.2 km 2 and is in the southern foothills of the Yinshan mountains .
As of 2011, it had a population of roughly 377,100, including members of the Mongol , Hui , Manchu , Daur , Tibetan , Uyghur , Hmong , and Yi national minorities .
Administratively speaking, Ulanqab is a "city" and Jining a "district", in reality Jining is a de facto city, while Ulanqab is an administrative division covering a much larger area. See prefecture-level city for more information on this arrangement.
Jining South Railway Station ( 集宁南站 ) serves as a railway intersection to the border town of Erenhot to the north, Hohhot and Baotou to the west, and Shanxi province's Datong to the south.

Recorded human activity in the Jining area dates back to the Shang dynasty . It was originally named Bingzhou ( 并州 ). In the Song dynasty it was part of the Yunzhong Commandery ( 云中府 ); it was placed under the administration of Datong during the Jin dynasty (1115–1234) . During the Yuan dynasty , it was named "Jining" for the first time. In 1675, the Jining area was placed under the administration of the Plain Yellow Banner of Chahar Province , and in 1750 was transferred to Fengzhen City 's administration. In 1922, it was renamed Jining and became a municipality, and the following year a county . 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, Ulanqab League , to which it is the seat of government, was 'converted' to a prefecture-level city , and Jining is correspondingly changed from a county-level city to a district . Ulanqab is named Chaborte in the writings of P. Evariste Huc.
Administrative divisions
Jining District is divided into 8 subdistricts , 1 town , and 1 township .
