Mongolia

Country in East Asia

Mongolia, a nation bordered by China and Russia, is known for vast, rugged expanses and nomadic culture. Its capital, Ulaanbaatar, centers around Chinggis Khaan (Genghis Khan) Square, named for the notorious founder of the 13th- and 14th-century Mongol Empire. Also in Ulaanbaatar are the National Museum of Mongolia, displaying historic and ethnographic artifacts, and the restored 1830 Gandantegchinlen Monastery.

Capital: Ulaanbaatar

【蒙古觀察】

蒙古首都烏蘭巴托的馬路上沒有馬，事實上，這個聚集了蒙古六成以上人口的繁華都市，摩天大樓和汽車數量持續攀升。

「持續興建的大樓和一間一間開設的百貨公司，以及最近如雨後春筍般冒出來的 3D 影城，用繁華的首都來形容她真的一點都不誇張。而當烏蘭巴托城市發展的同時，蒙古大草原上的馬匹也依舊在奔馳著。」
