Welcome to Mongolia

Mongolia is a landlocked country in east-central Asia. It is bordered byRussia to the north and China to the south, east, and west. Ulaanbaatar, thecapital and also the largest city, is home to about 45% of the population. Thearea of what is now Mongolia has been ruled by various nomadic empires. In1206, Genghis Khan founded the Mongol Empire which was the largestempire in world history. Mongolia is the 19th largest, one of the mostsparsely populated independent countries in the world and second-largestlandlocked country with a population of around 3 million people.

Ulaanbaatar is the capital city of Mongolia and its population is 1.5 million.The city was founded in 1639 as a nomadic Buddhist monastic centre.

In 1778, it settled permanently at its presentlocation, the junction of the Tuul and Selbe rivers.Before that, it changed location twenty-eighttimes, with each location being chosenceremonially. In the twentieth century,Ulaanbaatar grew into a major manufacturingcentre.

The land of eternal blue sky!

ClimateMongolia is known to the world as country of "Blue Sky". Along withSouthern Siberia this part of Asia has a continental climate, with long, cold,dry winters and brief, mild, and relatively wet summers.The average summer temperature is +20c (+65F). The wind is 1.5-4.5m/s.The average rainfall is 200-220 mm. In Mongolia there are 250 sunny days ayear, often with clear cloudless skies.In Mongolia, summer lasts about 100 days from the end of May untilSeptember. July is the warmest month of summer and it is 59° F (15° C) and68° (20° C).

CuisineMongolian cuisine primarily consists of dairy products, meat, and animalfats. Use of vegetables and spices is limited. Due to geographic proximity anddeep historic ties, Mongolian cuisine is influenced by Chinese and Russiancuisine. In fact, one of the most popular dishes is a steamed dumplings itemcalled "buuz" and fried dumpling “khuushuur”. Another popular dish is"lapsha", a simple noodle dish. The word is actually Russian for noodles.And also Mongolians drink milk tea with salt which can be consideredunique because other countries put sugar in it.

CultureAmong Mongolians aged 15 and above, 53% are Buddhists, 39% are non-religious and others believe in Shamanism, Islam and Christianity. Thetraditional Mongolian house is known as a ger or yurt. The traditional musicincludes a variety of instruments, famously the morin khuur and also thesinging styles like the long song and throat-singing (khoomei).

FestivalThe main national festival is Naadam, which takes place over three days inthe summer, consists of three Mongolian traditional sports that are archery,horse-racing, and wrestling, traditionally recognized as the Three ManlyGames of Naadam. In Mongolia, Naadam is held on July 11 to July 13, so forinternational delegates, if you are interested in Naadam festival, you aremore than welcome to stay after the conference.
