Ulaan Chab, a Mongolian phrase meaning a red mountain pass, is a city located in the central Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. As China promotes its digital economy, digital government and smart society construction into a new phase, the city is firmly grasping new opportunities in big data industrial development. Relying on its geographical condition as a traffic hub, cool weather condition, rich and low-priced electricity resources, stable geographic framework, efficient fiber channels and full-fledged infrastructures, Ulaan Chab has been attracting quite a few big data companies to settle down in the city and enable the city to become an inland big-data city enjoying the same industrial status as Guiyang City in the southwest Guizhou Province.
