Sangiin Dalai

Sangiin Dalai lies amid the eastern Mongolian grasslands, north of the Xilingol steppe. This open country of pasture and low hills extends towards the volcanic landscape of Dariganga. The Dariganga Mongols are associated with Dari Ovoo and Lake Ganga; among their ancestors were people moved from Chahar, Khalkha and Ööled communities in the late seventeenth century to look after the Qing emperor's horses.
