Ulaanbaatar is the capital city of Mongolia. Its recorded history goes back some three hundred and fifty years. The term 'city' was an unfamiliar concept in Mongolia during most of this period, however, and the nomadic settlement moved some thirty times after its founding in 1639. 
THE STATE ACADEMIC OPERA AND BALLET THEATER
The Mongols are a people with a rich cultural heritage. There are many different and very unique art-forms that are indigenous to Mongolia, and many Mongolian artists excel in non-traditional areas of the performing and aesthetic arts.
Ulaanbaatar's arts community reflects this rich heritage with its many offerings of performances, exhibitions. Mongolia's State Opera Theater is a shining example of this rich heritage. |  |

This unique mountain area, directly south of Ulaanbaatar, was proclaimed a protected area in 1778 by the city's secular and religious leaders. Looking south from Ulaanbaatar today, one sees virgin landscape and a horizon unmarred by construction or development. This farsighted policy has been reinforced by recent legislation, approved by Parliament, that controls land use of the area.
Bogdh Khan Uul (uul means mountain) is therefore one of the world's oldest national parks. Conservation of the area began as early as the twelfth century, when Turil Khan declared the mountains sacred and prohibited logging and hunting on them. This reflects a traditional consciousness in Mongolia of the need for conservation in a nomadic economy that depends directly on careful stewardship of land.
The mountains of Bogdh Khan are the southernmost edge of the great Siberian taiga, or forest. Most of the trees are larch. Rolling, hilly, steppe grasslands stretch to the south. Clouds hang over the mountains in summer, and there are frequent thunderstorms. Snowfall is abundant in winter; natural springs are restored during wet years
