Mongolian city of Chifeng.
According to Sohu.com reports, Bao specially arranged his traditional
Mongolian wedding with his wife Xia at the E'erduosi League, just because
it is a meaningful place where the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan, the First
Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, also father of the Mongolians, lies. Bao

Khan, a great Mongolian.
