Naiman Banner has a rich and diverse topography, including mountains, deserts, plains, wetlands, lakes, rivers, forests, etc., with the name of "miniature Inner Mongolia", is a beautiful and magical natural "bonsai".

Naiman is like a pearl of sand and sea, attracting guests from all over the world with its strange beauty. Naiman, is a thick history, as early as 8,000 years ago, there were human beings here to multiply, is the Hongshan culture, Khitan (Liao) culture, Mengyuan Chahar culture convergence place, but also one of the birthplaces of Xinglongwa culture.

The vast sea of sand becomes an oasis

Naiman has the closest to Beijing and the only vast desert in northeast China, the Baogutu Desert, and the largest desert freshwater lake in the country, mengjiaduan Muzi Lake.

Since the 1970s, naiman flag has been impoverished by sand, and the sand area accounts for 62% of the total area of the flag. However, the Naiman people did not give in, but actively fought against the sand, took ecological construction as a lifeline, and launched a campaign to control sand that lasted more than 40 years.

The vast sand sea has become an oasis, and the vegetation coverage rate has reached 31.8% from the original 16%... Over the years, people have used sand to control sand, turn harm into profit, prosper because of sand, and get rich because of sand.

In order to wake up future generations, Naiman deliberately retained the Baogutu Desert and developed it as a tourist attraction, creating a desert Naadam in the Baogutu Desert that combines three Mongolian traditional events with an auto off-road rally, and the U2 car off-road rally that swept the world originated from the Bogutu Desert Naadam. In 2017, Baogutu Self-driving Camp was listed in the national "Auto Self-driving Sports Camps".

In today's Mengjiaduan National Wetland Park, known as the "pearl" of the Horqin grassland, the Mother and Child Lake has become a whole fish feast for one of the top ten cultural delicacies in Naiman because of its abundant production of Naiman carp. Mengjiaduan Fishing Village accounts for 40% of the total annual tourism income of the village, and receives 100,000 tourists every year.
