Share a group of old photos taken in 1931 in Salaqi County, Suiyuan (now Baotou) by Pederton

Robert· Larimore· Robert Larimore Pendleton (1890-1957) was a soil scientist and professor of geography at Johns Hopkins University in the United States. He visited China from 1931 to 1933, covering many provinces and cities in the northeast, north and southwest of China. He took more than 1100 stereoscopic photos, recording the customs and traditions of China during the Republic of China

Pendleton made an investigation in 1931 in Salaqi County, Suiyuan Province (today’s western Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region) (about Tumet Right Banner, Baotou City today). In addition to investigating the soil, he also used his stereo camera to take pictures of the scene of the excavation of the Minsheng Canal, the scene of the water release ceremony, and the customs of Tumochuan, where Salaqi County is located (“Chilechuan” in the folk song of the Northern Dynasty)

阴山山脉的一座山，叫沙尔沁山（近年开发的景区叫莲花山景区）。山麓那座漂亮的藏式庙宇叫广化寺，在1966年时被拆毁了。近年重建，但失去了原来的韵味。

2000多年前战国时赵北长城上一座烽火台的遗存，现在依然完好，而且被作为文物受到很好的保护。
