Menen

Menen is a vast, level grassland on the eastern Mongolian steppe, stretching west of Lake Buir. Feather grass covers the plain, broken by low hills and the watersheds of the Khalkh and Nomrog rivers. Mongolian gazelles roam across the open country, gathering on the grassland in winter. To the east, the lake and the Khalkh River delta introduce reeds and wet meadows into a landscape otherwise dominated by dry steppe.
