The 'Urban' Side of the Nomadic Nation: Ulaanbaatar

A unique blend of nomadic culture and modern urban life in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. The streets are lined with both traditional gers and skyscrapers, where monks and businessmen pass each other—truly a city that embodies the essence of Mongolia. From the serene prayers at Gandan Monastery, the relaxed atmosphere of Sukhbaatar Square, to the warm encounters with people at the market, Ulaanbaatar offers a mix of tranquility and vibrant energy. It was a fascinating and comfortable urban experience.
