Ulaanbaatar (the capital city of Mongolia)


Ulaanbaatar

/ˌuːlɑːn ˈbɑːtə(ɹ)/

Transliteration of Mongolian Улаанбаатар (Ulaanbaatar), a compound of улаан (ulaan, “red”, adjective) and баатар (baatar, “hero”, cognate to bogatyr).
The name was adopted in 1924; before that, the city was known by a number of more prosaic names, including Их Хүрээ (Ix Xüree, “Great Camp”), Даа Хүрээ (Daa Xüree, “Great Camp”) (whence, via Chinese, its English names Kulun and Kuren), and Өргөө (Örgöö, “Residence”) (whence Urga).

translit

Alternative form: Ulan Bator

Mongolia's capital city of Ulaanbaatar has its share of tourist attractions - Genghis Khan Square, the National Museum, the State Opera and Ballet Theatre. But Ger Community Mapping Center guide Tuguldur Chuluunbaatar wants to highlight a different part of the city; a part that's often ignored.

Mongolia will supply critical metals to France needed for its energy transition, President Emmanuel Macron said on Sunday during the first ever visit to Ulaanbaatar by a serving French president.

Gobi

From Mongolian Говь (Govʹ) or ᠭᠣᠪᠢ (Ɣobi).

In winter the thermometer on the Mongolian plateau sometimes drops to –40° Fahrenheit, yet the camels wander about with no sense of suffering. On the other hand, the Russian explorer, Prejevalski, found the temperature of the ground in the Gobi Desert in summer to be more than 140° Fahrenheit, and the camels are apparently as indifferent to this degree of heat as they are to the winter cold.

1901 December 21, “Science and Industry”, in The Friend: A Religious and Literary Journal, volume LXXV, number 23, →OCLC, page 181, column 1:

These missionaries were good people of whose devotion America can be proud. Some months later under Boxer mob-violence they were driven out on to the Gobi Desert. But the Tao Tai gave them protection which saw them safely across the desert to the Russian frontier, though with much hardship.

In 1941, Chang traveled to the remote Gobi Desert in Northwest China and lived in the Tun Huang Caves for two years and seven months.

1975 August 24, “Picasso, Chinese artists in Taipei show”, in Free China Weekly, volume XVI, number 33, Taipei, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 2:

The Gobi Desert is a large desert in Asia. It covers about 500,000 square miles (1,294,994 sq km), stretching from the Tien Shan Mountains in the west and across southeastern Mongolia and northern China.

Altai

From the Turkic word for "Golden Mountain". Compare Turkish altın (“gold”), dağ (“mountain”) and al (“red, colorful”) which altın is likely related to.

Set dramatically on a dry plain, with high snow-capped peaks in the distance, is the provincial capital Altai, located 1,005 kilometres west of Ulaanbaatar. Before 1960, it was known as Yösön Bulag (the ‘nine springs’). This town of 15,000 people sits at 2,160 metres above sea level, making it the highest city in the country.

Darkhan

Transliteration of Mongolian Дархан (Darxan).

translit

In the towns that lay next on our itinerary, the Soviet-Mongolian partnership was much in evidence. In Darkhan, for example, founded just 20 years ago on the open grasslands, we saw the factories that provide 15 percent of Mongolia's total G.N.P.; they had been built by Russians and East Europeans. At the city hall, Mayor Tumurkhoyag told us proudly that his town was an example to all developing countries. Not the least among the achievements he cited was the development of two of Mongolia's five world champions in free-style wrestling, which, along with horsemanship and archery, is a national sport. Yet about half of Darkhan's population of 60,000 live in small wooden houses and yurts that are heated by wood and coal, with outside toilets.

From this range another branches off at the source of the river Vitima, near 113° E. long., which runs to the south-west, separating the rivers which fall into the Amur from those which run westward to the Selenga.

The western extremity of this region, namely the territory lying to the west of the Selenga, and between the frontier and the southern end of Baikal, presents the appearance of a table-land, with a height of about 20oo feet,

This migration coincides with summer floods in the Selenga. With declining water temperature the migration stops. Sturgeons have often been observed to overwinter in deep pools of the Selenga and its tributaries.

His knowledge was finally put to use when Mongolia opened up to democracy in 1990 and restrictions on religion were eased.

Lacking proper storage for the relics, Mr. Altangerel decided to leave the remaining 30 or so boxes underground.

We arrived in Dalanzadgad dusty and weary but satisfied, carrying something of the immense vistas away with us. With no time to rest, we boarded a public furgon for a 16-hour overnight ride to Ulan Bator.

Öndörkhaan

Öndörkhaan is a sleepy town in Mongolia of around 20,000 people on the windswept plains of the Asian steppe that derives its livelihood mostly from coal mining. At first glance, it seems like an unlikely stage for a drama-filled episode of international intrigue.
Yet in 1971, Öndörkhaan, recently renamed Chinggis City in honor of Mongolia’s legendary ruler Genghis Khan, who was born nearby, became a flashpoint for global intrigue that highlighted the power for revenge within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

The temporary-permanent workers facilitate the itinerant traders’ activities. The chanjuud and the yanhan stay longer in Ereen than the naimaachin and the jolooch, who carry out multiple trips between Zamyn üüd and Ereen, between Mongolia and China. The chanjuud and jolooch are mostly men, while the naimaachin and yanhan are mostly women. Thus, the appropriation of the Free Trade Zone of Erlian-Zamyn üüd by Mongols illustrates the transformations that take place in the social organisation and gender relationships of contemporary Mongolian societies, both in Mongolia and China.
