Mongolia is landlocked between its neighbors China & Russia in the heart of Asia. For centuries after the disintegration of Genghis Khan s empire it was ruled by one or the other, but in 1990 the Mongols embraced democracy. Now, after two centuries of Manchu stagnation & seventy years of Soviet communism, they are rebuilding their national heritage. Rarely in the news but making progress toward a market economy, this resource-rich but infrastructure-poor country is a land of pioneers, & its greatest asset is the Mongol people, who are friendly, cooperative, ambitious, & well educated. English is now the first foreign language & the country s leaders are forging new partnerships with international investors. Travelers from across the world are drawn to the land of blue sky by its picturesque mountains & lakes, flower-carpeted steppes & stony deserts, home to the snow leopard, the wild horse & camel, & the Gobi bear. The broad pasturelands, with herds of grazing livestock, & the traditional lifestyle of the nomads contrast with the busy streets of the capital Ulan Bator, a bustling metropolis of over one million people, modern hotels, apartments, & shops, interspersed with Buddhist monasteries & temples, surrounded by crowded suburbs of traditional felt tents. Mongolia s many attractions range from dinosaur skeletons & the remains of ancient civilizations to relics & reenactments of the Genghis Khan era, & the traditional sports of wrestling, archery, & horse-racing. ” Culture Smart! Mongolia” provides rare insights into contemporary Mongolian society, & offers practical tips on what to expect & how to conduct yourself in order to get the most out of your visit. Despite the undeniable challenges posed by modernity, these warm, tough, adaptable, & hospitable people welcome visitors & are open to the world.” ...
