Yunzhong Commandery was a frontier commandery of the Qin and Han empires on the northern bend of the Yellow River, near modern Hohhot in Inner Mongolia. Founded by the state of Zhao and kept by its successors, it guarded the approaches from the Mongolian steppe and was a frequent target of Xiongnu and Xianbei raids.
