Ulaanbadrakh

Ulaanbadrakh lies in the eastern Gobi, a dry country of open plains, low mountains and desert vegetation. Its landscape belongs to the great transition between the Mongolian steppe and the more barren Gobi to the south. Pastoral animals, particularly camels, sheep and goats, are suited to these arid grazing grounds, where springs and wells are precious and the sparse cover changes with the seasons.
