ORDOS: The area within the great ring of the Yellow River that has been a critical staging area for steppe tribes since at least the 2nd century BC. The formerly fertile pastures, combined with irrigated agriculture, provided a base region for peoples from the Xiongnu (Hönnö, 1st century BC) to the Choros tribe of Esen (fifteenth century BC).
