The only historic building still standing in the newly developed area of the city, this former Qing Dynasty general's office has a certain allure. Resembling a temple, it's something of a mixture of  a religious site, featuring rather unusual Buddhist art done in a "modern" style, along with examples of stately Qing-era office furnishings and a scale model of the city that depicts Hohhot as it was before modernization took its toll, transforming the cityscape from one dominated by temple dragon tails and city walls to one defined as much by boxy skyscrapers, office buildings and city lights as it is by its dwindling Mongolian old town.
