Doloodyn Gobi

Doloodyn Gobi belongs to the eastern reaches of the Gobi, the cold desert and grassland belt of southern Mongolia. Here the arid landscape is more varied than a field of dunes: stony ground, low hills and broad basins alternate with patches of desert vegetation. People have inhabited the wider Gobi for thousands of years, and archaeological remains include prehistoric burials and rock carvings as well as traces of earlier settlement around oases.
