Bayantsagaan

Bayantsagaan lies in the broad grasslands of eastern Mongolia, south of the Kherlen valley. This open steppe forms part of an extensive plain where Mongolian gazelles move across the pastures. To the north, the Kherlen runs east towards Lake Hulun, and its valley contains the remains of walled settlements used in different periods of Inner Asian history. Low hills and grassland dominate the country between the river and the drier plains to the south.
