Bayanqolu (Chinese: 巴音朝鲁; pinyin: Bāyīncháolǔ; born October 1955) is Chinese politician of Mongol heritage. He is the Communist Party Secretary and former Governor of Jilin Province in Northeastern China; Bayanqolu is, as of 2015, the only ethnic-minority official serving as a provincial-level Party Secretary.
Prior to his posts in Jilin province, Bayanqolu was best known for his seven-year term as the Party Secretary of the coastal city of Ningbo, Zhejiang. Bayanqolu was born in Otog Front Banner, Inner Mongolia. He attended Inner Mongolia Normal University and University of Jinan, where he obtained a master's degree in Economics. He rose through the ranks of the Communist Youth League in the 1990s before being transferred to work in Zhejiang as vice governor, then as Ningbo party chief.
Bayanqolu was born in Otog Front Banner, Inner Mongolia. His name is a combination of the Mongolian word bayan (roughly, "wealth"), and the word qolu ("stone"); however he is normally called simply "Bayin" in Chinese by his friends and colleagues. He began working in 1976 and joined the Communist Party of China in the same year. His involvement with the party began when he was a mere 20 years old. From 1980 to 1982 he attended Inner Mongolia Normal University, studying Political Education. In 1985 he was appointed mayor of Ejin Horo Banner, and was promoted to Communist Party Secretary of Ejin Horo in 1988.
