Alongshan (Chinese: 阿龙山镇; pinyin: Ālóngshān zhèn) is a town in Inner Mongolia, China. It is administrated by the county-level city of Genhe under the prefecture-level city of Hulunbuir.[1] The index patient of the tick-borne Alongshan virus came from the town of Alongshan and presented to a county hospital in Hulunbuir. This led the newly-discovered virus to be named after the town.[2]
