Ulaan Khur Luu (Mongolian: Blackdragoncity. Chinese: 黑龍城, Hēilóng chéng; lit. "city of the Black Dragon" ) is a city in Mongolia, located in the Principality of Buryatia, in the Khur Luu Province (OTE: Kamensk Oblast). Bordering the eastern shores of Lake Baikal, Ulan Khur Luu was concieved as a project to build a modern counterpart to Karakorum, the ancient capital city of the Mongol Empire.

It was an idea concieved by pan-Mongol nationalists, Urzhin Garmaev, Grigory Semyonov and Fujibayashi Akimatsu, and finally made into being by Tsagaanlamyn Dügersüren, or Kai Shi, who also concurrently enforced the rebuilding and revitalization of Karakorum.

During the Second World War, the area today now the city of Ulaan Khur Luu was an undisclosed community, built for Buryat and Mongolian politicians and leaders who sided with the Empire of Japan. After the Second World War, it continued to be undisclosed, up until the mids of the North China War, when Tsagaanlamyn Dügersüren allowed the Empire of China to re-annex Mongolia. As part of Dügersüren's modernization program, Ulaan Khur Luu was developed into a modern city, with railways, roads and streets connecting it to other Mongolian and Chinese cities. Ulaan Khar Luu had a reputation as being the "Mongolian Paris", a city of elites and wealthy, and tourists due to its location along Lake Baikal.

History[]

After the Russian Civil War, unlike the original timeline, Japan stays in Transbaikal (therefore souring its relations with the League of Nations). The state of Buryatokuo was established as a Japanese client state, that saw the indstrialization and modernization of the Buryat people. Ulan-Ude was the main city of economic improtance in the Buryat state, however Urzhin Garmaev and Grigory Semyonov set forth to find other cities.

In what is today Ulaan Khar Luu, settlements already began to spring up, with the Japanese having build Urzhin Garmaev a mansion and a palace in the shores of Lake Baikal, and another for the later Fujibayashi Akimatsu. Both were undisclosed locations.
