Ulanhot, alternatively Ulaγanqota (Red City) in Classical Mongolian, is a county-level city and the administrative center of Hinggan League in the east of the Inner Mongolia, China. Formerly known as Wangin Süm (Wang-un Süme, Wangyehmiao, Wangyemiao,, ), the city became the first capital of Inner Mongolia, the first autonomous region in China, on 1 May 1947, until the regional capital moved to Zhangjiakou in late December 1949; the regional capital moved again in June 1952 to Hohhot, which remains the capital to this day.

The city is connected to Baicheng, Jilin by the Baicheng–Arxan railway, which runs through the pass south of Ulanhot. China's National Highway 302 runs from Tumen, Jilin to Ulanhot.
