Ulan Butung (Mongolian: ᠤᠯᠠᠭᠠᠨ ᠪᠤᠲᠤᠩ; Chinese: 烏蘭布統) is a sumu (ᠰᠤᠮᠤ) of Inner Mongolia, China. In Mongolian, ‘Ulan’ means ‘red’, while ‘Butung’ means ‘altar’, so Ulan Butung actually means ‘red altar’.
Most of the area of Inner Mongolia is plain, so the sunrise seems earlier than the other place, the sky is already bright at 5am.
Without any big mountain as a barrier, the strong wind from Siberia can sweep directly, even though it is only September, the weather is cold as winter.
The sun rises again, the mother earth is painted with fantastic orange, all living things are invigorated, including shivering Choumeizai.
