Ulaanbaatar Vacation Guide
Ulaanbaatar is the capital of Mongolia and is located in a valley between three mountains. Ulaanbaatar has over one million inhabitants, which is close to half the country’s population. The capital is growing rapidly, because many nomadic families try to find their luck in the capital after harsh winters have killed their animals. The number of polluting cars is also expanding by many every day, which inevitably causes smog.
The city centre is easily recognised by the Sukhbataar square, named after Sukhbataar, who started the revolution in 1921. The governmental building is facing the square and the city’s main road is passing the square. From Sukhbataar square the roads in all directions have some restaurants, tourist shops, hostels and tour operators. For the discotheques you need to take a cab and ask a local guy where to go, because the best ones are in the suburbs.
The main attraction in Ulaanbaatar is the Nadaam festival. During this event people from all over the country are travelling to the capital to participate in one of the three national sports, Wrestling, Archery and Horseracing. Participants are dressed traditionally.
Best time to visit Ulaanbaatar is during the summer as the winter can be harsh.

Our last day in Ulaanbaatar. And, in a way, also our first day, as during our previous visits to the city we didn't do much sightseeing (with the exception of our half-morning trip to the monastery). And while Ulaanbaatar is an ugly place, it certainly merits a visit.
But first we had to move hot…

Woke up pretty early to catch a 8am train to Beijing. Spent most of the day doing the usual sleeping/eating/reading on the train. For some reason today dragged on. Being idle sucks.

I was fortunate enough to have to work in Mongolia for two and a half weeks. Primarily working in Ulaanbaatar, I got a chance to leave the city and check out the country side, or as the locals call it the real Mongolia. It is October/November and the tempatures are around -10 celsius to 5 celsius. …
