Sorin Nuur
Sorin Nuur lies in the eastern reaches of the Xilingol grasslands, on the broad Mongolian Plateau. To the east, the Ulagai River crosses a steppe region rich in natural pasture, rivers and wetlands before disappearing into an inland basin. These grasslands form part of a wider pastoral world extending across the plateau, where Mongolian language and herding traditions have endured alongside the varied waterways of the steppe.
