Introducing Zamyn-üüd
The Trans-Mongolia railway line runs into China at this small, otherwise insignificant village in the Gobi Desert. If you are travelling by local train between Mongolia and China you’ll need to stop here and organise onward transport.

While Erlian booms with economic activity right across the border, little happens in Zamyn Üüd – there is no market and the roads are slowly being consumed by sand, blown in from the surrounding desert.
There are just enough transit travellers to keep some hotels and restaurants busy around the train station. Plans to build a casino in the town could help, although after several years of talk nothing has happened yet.
