Founded as Beijing Zangying Xuequan, a team based in Beijing but dedicated to unearthing and developing Tibetan football talents, and later renamed as Xizang Huitong Luhua, the team played in the Yi League until 2005, when they purchased Dalian Changbo from the upper Jia League in 2006. The newly merged team was moved to Taiyuan, Shanxi and renamed to Shanxi Wosen Luhu, but relocated again to Hohhot, Inner Mongolia in 2007 and renamed themselves Hohhot Black Horse, then withdrew mid-season and dissolved.

In November 2009, the former club general manager Wang Pu and deputy general manager Wang Xin were arrested and later convicted, becoming the first case in the 2009 "Chinese football anti-betting storm".
