Bayannur (Bayan Nur) or Bayannao'er (; Bayannaɣur qota, Mongolian Cyrillic Баяннуур хот) is a prefecture-level city in western Inner Mongolia, People's Republic of China. Until 1 December 2003, the area was called Bayannur League.

Bayannur has an administrative area of 65788 km². The name of the city in Mongolian means "Rich Lake". As of the 2010 census, the population of Bayannur was 1,669,915; while the city proper, Linhe District, had 520,300 inhabitants.

The city is served by the Bayannur Tianjitai Airport.

History

The state of Zhao (403 BCE–222 BCE) controlled an area including modern-day Bayannur, while the Western Han dynasty (206 BCE–24 CE) established a hierarchical Chinese administrative structure. The Qing dynasty (1644–1912) designated this area as part of "Inner Mongolia", but after its overthrow by the Republic of China (1912–1949), Bayannur was assigned to Suiyuan Province. Because of Mongol-Chinese cooperation with the Communist faction in the Chinese Civil War (stalled since 1950), Suiyuan was annexed to the new Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from 1954, although not without controversy because of the province's large and longstanding ethnic Han majority.

Geography and climate

Bayannur is located in the western part of inner Mongolia Autonomous region. Neighbouring prefectures are:

Baotou (E)
Alxa (W)
Ordos (S) It also borders Mongolia to the north. The whole area of the prefecture is 65,788 km2 at present and the total population is nearly 1.7 million. Bayannur features a desert climate (Köppen BWk), marked by long, cold and very dry winters, very warm, somewhat humid summers, and strong winds, especially in spring. Most of the rain falls between July and September, with very little snow in winter. |metric first=y |single line=y |collapsed = Y |location = Bayannur (Linhe District), elevation 1041 m, (1991–2020 normals, extremes 1956–2010) |Jan high C = -3.1 |Feb high C = 2.5 |Mar high C = 10.0 |Apr high C = 18.5 |May high C = 24.8 |Jun high C = 29.4 |Jul high C = 31.1 |Aug high C = 28.9 |Sep high C = 23.8 |Oct high C = 16.1 |Nov high C = 6.2 |Dec high C = -1.4 |Jan mean C = -9.4 |Feb mean C = -4.7 |Mar mean C = 2.9 |Apr mean C = 11.3 |May mean C = 17.8 |Jun mean C = 22.9 |Jul mean C = 24.8 |Aug mean C = 22.5 |Sep mean C = 16.7 |Oct mean C = 8.8 |Nov mean C = 0.2 |Dec mean C = -7.1 |year mean C = |Jan low C = -14.5 |Feb low C = -10.4 |Mar low C = -3.1 |Apr low C = 4.3 |May low C = 10.7 |Jun low C = 16.2 |Jul low C = 18.7 |Aug low C = 16.7 |Sep low C = 10.7 |Oct low C = 3.1 |Nov low C = -4.3 |Dec low C = -11.6 |Jan record high C = 12.3 |Jan record low C = -35.3 |Feb record high C = 16.9 |Feb record low C = -32.4 |Mar record high C = 24.2 |Mar record low C = -19.1 |Apr record high C = 33.3 |Apr record low C = -10.3 |May record high C = 36.6 |May record low C = -3.1 |Jun record high C = 39.1 |Jun record low C = 5.5 |Jul record high C = 39.4 |Jul record low C = 9.0 |Aug record high C = 37.9 |Aug record low C = 5.1 |Sep record high C = 36.0 |Sep record low C = -2.0 |Oct record high C = 29.9 |Oct record low C = -9.6 |Nov record high C = 20.2 |Nov record low C = -20.0 |Dec record high C = 12.4 |Dec record low C = -27.0 |year high C = |year low C = |year high F = |year low F = |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation mm = 0.8 |Feb precipitation mm = 1.3 |Mar precipitation mm = 3.5 |Apr precipitation mm = 4.7 |May precipitation mm = 14.4 |Jun precipitation mm = 21.7 |Jul precipitation mm = 28.4 |Aug precipitation mm = 37.6 |Sep precipitation mm = 23.3 |Oct precipitation mm = 6.6 |Nov precipitation mm = 2.5 |Dec precipitation mm = 0.9 |unit precipitation days = 0.1 mm |Jan precipitation days = 1.0 |Feb precipitation days = 0.8 |Mar precipitation days = 1.5 |Apr precipitation days = 1.6 |May precipitation days = 3.7 |Jun precipitation days = 5.1 |Jul precipitation days = 7.0 |Aug precipitation days = 7.0 |Sep precipitation days = 5.0 |Oct precipitation days = 1.9 |Nov precipitation days = 1.0 |Dec precipitation days = 1.0 |Jan snow days = 2.0 |Feb snow days = 1.4 |Mar snow days = 1.3 |Apr snow days = 0.4 |May snow days = 0.1 |Jun snow days = 0.0 |Jul snow days = 0.0 |Aug snow days = 0.0 |Sep snow days = 0.0 |Oct snow days = 0.3 |Nov snow days = 1.2 |Dec snow days = 1.7 |Jan humidity = 53 |Feb humidity = 44 |Mar humidity = 37 |Apr humidity = 31 |May humidity = 34 |Jun humidity = 41 |Jul humidity = 52 |Aug humidity = 56 |Sep humidity = 54 |Oct humidity = 50 |Nov humidity = 53 |Dec humidity = 52 |Jan sun = 213.8 |Feb sun = 218.0 |Mar sun = 259.0 |Apr sun = 279.9 |May sun = 313.5 |Jun sun = 306.6 |Jul sun = 304.5 |Aug sun = 291.6 |Sep sun = 260.3 |Oct sun = 261.5 |Nov sun = 217.1 |Dec sun = 201.7 |year sun = | Jan percentsun = 71 | Feb percentsun = 72 | Mar percentsun = 69 | Apr percentsun = 70 | May percentsun = 70 | Jun percentsun = 68 | Jul percentsun = 67 | Aug percentsun = 69 | Sep percentsun = 71 | Oct percentsun = 77 | Nov percentsun = 74 | Dec percentsun = 70 | year percentsun = | source 1 = | source 2 = Weather China{{cite web | url = http://www.weather.com.cn/cityintro/101070301.shtml? | script-title=zh:临河 - 气象数据 -中国天气网 | publisher = Weather China | language = zh | access-date = 29 November 2022}}
