Waes' Travels

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia (8x3)

:

With about 1.7 million inhabitants, Ulaanbaatar is perhaps the little brother in Reizen Waes: world cities, but the city deserves a place in Tom's list for various reasons. Not only do more than half of the Mongolian population live in the capital Ulaanbaatar, the number of new residents is also increasing. It makes Ulaanbaatar a real metropolis in the most sparsely populated country in the world. The traditional, romantic image of Mongolia as a country of only vast steppes seems to be in need of revision. Time for Tom to find out what's going on here.
