GREETINGS“Guests whelm the hospitable home, and fish flock the algae-rich lake,” a Mongolian proverb says.
For centuries, the hospitable culture of the nomadic Mongolians - people that have left distinct marks in the history of the world - has been recorded in the writings by many, including the famous explorer Marco Polo. Today the capital city of Mongolia, with inherited age-old traditions of hospitality and generosity of Mongolian people, is growing fast as a major tourist destination.
People who have visited Ulaanbaatar witness its own type of beauty. The traditional Mongolian felt ger amongst the modern glass skyscrapers, people dressed in business suits rub shoulders with people in Mongolian traditional clothing deel in the
downtown boulevards are unique scenes of the city that elicits excitement of the mixture of Western and Eastern cultures and contrast between modern and traditional lifestyles.
The world-famous Naadam Festival, grand equestrian statue of Great Chinggis Khaan, beautiful natural landscape of Terelj and wildlife of Khustai national parks are the starting point to explore rich culture, history and adventure of Mongolia.
We wish you a pleasant stay in Ulaanbaatar, a city of nomads in the center of a free and vibrant Asian democracy.
With kind regards,

Mayor of Ulaanbaatar
