General presentation
Bayanzag and the Flaming Cliffs
Red falsies and history of paleontology give scientific relief to the expanses of the Gobi.
The discovery of Bayanzag and flamboyant cliffs is built around flamboyant Falaises, Saxaouls Forest and Bayanzag Paleontological Center. The stay thus alternates between desert areas, heritage and natural areas, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
