The Qing Dynasty had the Inner Hotel and the Outer Hotel built as residence to receive the annual reporting envoys from the Inner and the Outer Mongolias who came to have an audience with the emperor. As part of the Qing's system of receiving and administrating the annual reporting envoys from the Inner and the Outer Mongolia, the construction of the Inner and the Outer Hotel played an active part in securing, preserving and developing the relations between the central government and the border ethnics.
