Mongolia is located in the heart of Central Asia, sandwiched between the two superpowers: China and Russia. It has the population of only 2.7 million people living sparsely over the territory of 1,566,500 sq. km, or equal to half of Europe. About half of the country's population, or 1.2 million people live now in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar , or Red Hero. The capital city offers a range of tourist attractions such as museums and monasteries as well as quite modern services. Mongolia resides on a high mountainous plateau some 1,580 meters above the sea level. Altai, Hangai, Hentii and Hiangan mountain ranges that shield away humid, warm air flows from Atlantic and Pacific Oceans fence the country around. Mountains make up 42.5 percent of the territory. The Gobi Desert occupies more than 400,200 sq. km of southern Mongolia. Though popular perception of deserts is that of endless sand dunes, only three percent of the Gobi Desert are actually covered by sands, the rest made of rocky mountains and valleys. It is not rare to come across a small salty pond or bushes. The desert ecosystem supports goats and camels and such rare animals as snow leopard, ibex, wild sheep and goats, wild horse and antelopes. Even about two dozens of bears, known as Mazaalai bear, found a niche in Gobi Desert. There are more than 4,000 lakes in Mongolia , with the most beautiful one, Huvsgul Lake , in the northwest. Known as a sister lake of Baikal Lake in Siberia , the lake is surrounded by alpine mountain ranges covered with dense taiga forest. Great Eastern Plains is the lowest part of the country. Endless stretches of low hills serve as the ideal pasture for half a million antelopes.
