Chifeng - [ Syriac Not Available ]

http://syriaca.org/place/4353
A city of eastern Inner Mongolia, frontier zone between the North China plain and the steppe. It formed part of the wider belt where sedentary, pastoral, and imperial worlds intersected. In the context of Syriac Christianity, a tomb inscription found there after heavy rain in the 1980s records a man named Yawnan or Jonas, a local official who died in 1253, and combines a cross with Syriac and Uyghur inscriptions, making it one of the clearest Mongol-period Christian grave finds in North China.5
