History Zalantun was formerly known as Butha (p=Bùtèhā), and the city was made into an administrative centre in the Kangxi Emperor. In 1929, Buteha was renamed as Yalu county (p=Yǎlǔ Xiàn) because the Yalu River runs through it, but in 1933 it became the Zalantun Banner (p=Zhālántún Qí). In 1983, Zalantun ceased to be a banner and became a part of Hulunbuir, remaining so today.
