Salaqi (Mongolian: ᠰᠡᠷᠡᠴᠢ, simplified Chinese: 萨拉齐; traditional Chinese: 薩拉齊; pinyin: Sālāqí) is the central town of Tumed Right Banner. It is under the administration of Baotou City, Inner Mongolia, People's Republic of China.
Historically, Salaqi was a Ting(zh) (薩拉齊廳) and then a county (薩拉齊縣), ruling Baotou as a town within. After several alterations in mid-20th century,[1] Tumed Right Banner was established and Salaqi became a town; but the name Salaqi is still widely used by people in Hetao area to refer to the accent, the disposition and other features of Salaqi locals.
Salaqi East is also a railway station on the Beijing–Baotou railway.
