General presentation
Landscapes of Dauria
Steppes, transboundary lakes and wetlands follow wildlife migrations between Mongolia, China and Russia.
To understand what Landscapes de la Dauria is, you must look at the nature reserve of Daourie, Steppe de Mongol Dagur and Lake Zun-Torey. These places give you a view of a territory marked by the countryside, the shores and lakes and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: transport and openings to be confirmed and weather likely to modify the program. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Daourie Nature Reserve
The Daourie Nature Reserve protects steppes, shallow lakes and wetlands close to the Russian-Mongole border. The landscape seems open and minimal, but it becomes very alive during bird migrations and the movement of antelopes, with accesses framed by the protection of the site.
Remarkable location
Steppe of Mongol Dagur
The steppe of Mongol Dagur is full of ravenous herbs, seasonal pools and a huge sky in eastern Mongolia. Cranes, ducks, raptors and herds take all the visual place there; the interest of the visit depends heavily on the present water and the season.
Lake
Lake Zun-Torey
Lake Zun-Torey is a shallow lake in the Daouria, subject to strong variations of water according to the climatic cycles. Its banks attract migratory birds and steppe fauna, creating a moving landscape where the absence or return of water completely changes the scene.
