Things to do in Dalanzadgad

  1. South Gobi Museum

    Surprisingly, the South Gobi Museum has little on dinosaurs - just a leg, an arm and a few eggs. (All of the best exhibits are in Ulaanbaatar or in other museums around the world.) There are a few nice paintings, a huge stuffed vulture and a display of scroll paintings and other Buddhist items. The museum is on the main street, on the other side of the park from the pink Drama Theatre.

  2. Market

    Vegetarians could put together salad from the fresh veggies on sale in the Market (Gobi vegetables are renowned in Mongolia for their sweet taste). Nearby, you'll also see women selling jars of lovely tarag (yogurt; around Tug500) and packets of sugar.

  3. Nomin Gov

    If you need to stock up for an expedition, this is the best place. A smaller version of UB's State Department Store, the Nomin Gov is located at the eastern end of town.

  4. Michid Restaurant & Bar

    For a hot meal, try this restaurant located in the Gobi Gurvan Saikhan Hotel. It has some reasonable Mongolian food.

  5. Gobi Restaurant

    A decent second choice if you've already been to the Michid. It's behind the market.
