History
In the early 1930s, Birger Bohlin studied the paleontology of the region (then called Taban Buluk).[3]
In 1937, Subei Administrate Bureau (肅北設治局) was established.[1]
On July 22, 1950, PLA forces entered the Subei area. The county-level Subei Autonomous District (肅北自治區), predecessor of the Subei Mongol Autonomous County, was established on July 29, 1950. The area became county-level Subei Mongol Autonomous District (肃北蒙古族自治区) in 1953. In 1955, the area became Subei Mongol Autonomous County.[1][4]
In September 1992, with the approval of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, the only international border crossing in Gansu Province was opened in the Mazongshan area of Subei Mongol Autonomous County.[1]
Horse shows and races are held periodically in the county.[5][6]
Climate
A large part of Subei is in the Gobi Desert. The county has been subject to large dust storms with noted incidents in May 2011[7] and June 2016.[8] There are glaciers in some parts of the county.[9]

The Mongols in Qinghai and Gansu provinces are most often referred to as Deed Mongols 'Upper Mongols' or Hoshuud, though Güüshi Han's army also included some Torguud, Hoid (a minor tribe), and Choros troops. After a couple of decades in the region west of Kuku-Nor, some Deed Mongols migrated northwards to Dunhuang in Gansu Province, and their descendants currently live there in Subei Mongol Autonomous County.
