General presentation
Khalkh Gol et lac Buir
Eastern steppes, military memory and vast wetlands characterize the borders of Dornod.
The discovery of Khalkh Gol and Lake Buir is centred around Lake Buir, Khalkh River and Khalkhin Gol Memorial. The stay thus alternates between the countryside, riverscapes, shores and lakes and heritage, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. 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.
Lake
Lac Buir
This large freshwater lake extends in the steppe near the Mongolian-China border. Its isolated shores welcome birds, fishermen and seasonal camps accessible by long tracks.
River
Rivière Khalkh
The river crosses steppes and wetlands near the Chinese and Russian borders. Distances, permits and low services require precise local preparation. Light, wind and season are strongly transforming the landscape.
Place indismissible
Mémorial de Khalkhin Gol
The memorial recalls the fighting of 1939 between Soviet-Mongol and Japanese forces. The site must be approached as a historic site, not as an isolated attraction. A slow visit allows to go beyond the only points of view best known.
