1. A county-level city of Xilingol, Inner Mongolia autonomous region, China.

   “At the border town of Erenhot, the people working beside the track look up and smile as the train enters China and begin to applaud.”

   “Cheng would have to stop him further down in the Gobi’s dunes around the railhead of Erenhot, and so it was to Erenhot, the railhead on the border of China’s Inner Mongolia and Mongolia, that many of the reserves from Beijing’s Sixty-fifth Army Group were now being sent.”

   “Erenhot—known for little more than being a border town, a required stop for motorists and trains, as well as rich fossil territory.[...]"We cannot let you be seen," she shouted to him, when the first lights of Erenhot—and Zamyn-Uud, a little farther across the border between Mongolia and China— flickered into view. "No one would understand!"”

   “On Monday, disease-hit Erenhot in Inner Mongolia banned travel in and out of the city and ordered residents to stay at home, while an outbreak in Ejin county prompted authorities earlier this week to shutter tourist sites and restrict travel.”
