Things to see and do East

This long strip of territory on a north-south axis allows to discover desert areas, steppes and forested mountains. The area has been a natural park since 2000.

At the border of China, this park has a fauna and flora close to those found in Manchuria. Its foundation dates back to 1992.

Their curative virtues are praised by the Mongols, who claim that these waters can cure some 13 diseases. Chinggis Khaan himself is said to have been cured of a stomach disease here.

This same plain hosts the ruins of the city of Avarga. Chinggis Khaan gathered his armies here before leaving to conquer Central Asia. It is also there that Ogödeï, his son and successor, was proclaimed great khan of Mongolia. This city, always excavated, counted 9 temples in its enclosure.

This area of steppes houses many rare species, including the endangered white ridge crane. Protected area since 1992.
