HOHHOT - 110 Cities

The city

About Hohhot

I call Hohhot home—the capital of Inner Mongolia, once known as Kuku-khoto, the Blue City. Our streets echo with many voices: Mongolian, Mandarin, and the songs of minority peoples. For centuries, this land has been shaped by Tibetan Buddhism, Lamaism, and later the Muslim traders who made Hohhot a frontier market. Even today, shrines and mosques stand side by side, but so few here know the name of Jesus.

Walking through the markets, I see men and women searching for meaning, bowing to idols or reciting prayers they do not understand. My heart aches, because I know the One they long for.

Though China is vast and powerful, here in the north we feel small, caught between tradition and modern ambition. Yet, I believe God has chosen Hohhot to be more than a trade city—it can be a place where His kingdom breaks into every tribe and tongue.

We are few believers, and we face pressure and fear. But in the quiet, we pray that the Blue City will shine with the light of Christ, and that from here rivers of living water will flow into Mongolia and beyond.
