Mongolian Road Network Reaches 112,000 Kilometers www.montsame.mn

Mongolia is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the establishment of its road transport sector, a milestone recognized alongside the nation’s broader historic commemorations of the 2234th anniversary of Mongolian Statehood, the 819th anniversary of the Great Mongol Empire, the 114th anniversary of the Restoration of the National Freedom and Independence, the 104th anniversary of the People’s Revolution, and the 35th anniversary of the Democratic Revolution.
President of Mongolia Khurelsukh Ukhnaa conveyed an official congratulatory message to delegates and transport sector employees attending the anniversary ceremony. The message delivered by the Chief of Staff of the Office of the President of Mongolia, Uilstuguldur Altankhuyag, paid tribute to generations of road transport workers whose efforts have supported national defense, energy, construction, industry, communications, agriculture, postal service, freight, and passenger mobility across Mongolia’s vast territory. The President recalled that on July 15, 1925, the founding of the “Mongol Transport Office” with just seven motor vehicles marked the beginning of the nation’s motorized transport era, building on a decision made by the First State Great Khural in 1924 to place transport and forwarding activities under state administration.
Opening the sector’s centennial conference, Prime Minister of Mongolia Zandanshatar Gombojav praised the transition from pack-animal caravans and relay post transport to modern motorized mobility in just a century. He noted that historical records show that Mongolians were already engaged in early cross-border freight operations in the early 1900s through the Khuree Khaalga Transport Firm, underscoring deep roots in overland trade. The Prime Minister emphasized that Mongolia’s development journey is inseparable from the road transport sector. Productivity movements among professional drivers in the 1950s and 1960s, remembered as “hundred‑thousand,” “million,” and similar achievement campaigns, helped drive national industrialization, agricultural expansion, and regional integration.
Sector Growth by the Numbers
Freight hauled by road transport expanded from about 400,000 tons in 1925 to 85.2 million tons in 2024, a more than 200‑fold increase.
Road carriers accounted for approximately 65 percent of national freight, including 88 percent of export transport, last year.
Passenger service grew from roughly 800,000 passengers in 1935 to 145.1 million in 2024, an increase of more than 180 times.
Mongolia’s participation in international road transport rose from 1 percent in 2015 to 46 percent in 2025; service coverage expanded from 7 countries to 23 over the same period.
The country’s road network now totals 112,000 kilometers, of which about 15,000 kilometers are international and national-grade roads.
In honor of the centennial, President Khurelsukh awarded the state-owned enterprise “National Road Transport Center of Mongolia”  the Order of the Red Banner of Labor Valor of Mongolia, recognizing its role in organizing equitable and accessible transport services; maintaining vehicle registration and data systems; monitoring technical and environmental standards; and ensuring reliable mobility for the population.
Extending his congratulations, President Khurelsukh wished good health and continued success to all current and former road transport professionals, expressing confidence that the “golden road” of Mongolian progress will remain auspicious under the eternal blue sky.

Ancient tomb unearthed in Selenge Province www.ubpost.mn

An exceptionally significant archaeological discovery has been made in Erdene soum of Selenge Province, where a well-preserved, undisturbed aristocratic tomb dating back to the Xiongnu period—around 1800 years ago—has been uncovered. This discovery is hailed as one of the most important and large-scale Xiongnu-era finds ever discovered in Mongolia, offering invaluable insights into the ancient civilization.
The tomb, which has remained untouched for nearly two millennia, is being carefully excavated by a team of archaeologists and experts. They are conducting detailed studies to better understand the burial practices, material culture, and social structures of the Xiongnu elite, providing new evidence of this ancient nomadic empire that once spanned vast regions of Asia.
According to researchers, this find is not only significant for its scale but also for its potential to shed light on the political and cultural dynamics of the Xiongnu Empire. The Xiongnu, a confederation of nomadic tribes, are considered a precursor to the Mongol Empire and played a central role in the history of Central Asia, particularly during the early centuries of the Common Era.
In addition to the tomb itself, the ongoing excavation of other related burial mounds in the Orkhon-Selenge basin suggests the possibility of a more extensive Xiongnu empire in the region. Scholars have noted that these findings provide crucial evidence that the empire might have once had a more structured political presence in this part of Mongolia, potentially reshaping our understanding of early nomadic governance.

The world’s first national park isn’t in the US. It’s in Mongolia www.cnn.com

Many American schoolchildren grow up learning that Yellowstone was the world’s first national park. But across the globe in Mongolia, just south of the capital, Ulaanbaatar, a mountain holds a claim to the crown.
Like many things in Mongolia, that mountain has a connection to Chinggis Khan (also known as Genghis Khan), who founded the Mongol empire in the 1200s and whose name and likeness are ubiquitous in present-day Mongolia.
Toghrulkhan (known as Toghrul or Ong Khan), a close friend and ally of Khan’s father, protected and venerated Bogd Khan Uul. According to the historical work “Secret Lives of the Mongols,” the oldest existing book in Mongolia, Toghrul barred anyone from hunting and logging, among other activities, as early as the 13th century.
Today, entering Bogd Khan Uul, which was recognized as a UNESCO biosphere reserve in 1996, banishes the memory of the crowds and pollution of the capital. The Terelj River carves a path through dense patches of pine, birch and aspen trees. White butterflies swirl past in groups.
As a result of the park’s long-standing respected status, many native plants and animals have flourished, protected from hunting and farming. They include the rare musk deer — notable for having tusklike teeth — and the Arctic hare. Visitors should also be on the lookout for eagles, vultures, marmots and wild boars.
Bogd Khan Uul National Park
The mountain of Bogd Khan Uul “is sacred and symbolic for all the Mongols,” says Saruul-Erdene Myagmar, an Ulaanbaatar native who is a Mongolia specialist at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC.
Bogd means “saint” in Mongolian, and “uul” is mountain, while Khan is a ceremonial title given to rulers. One translation of Bogd Khan Uul is “the Khan’s saint’s mountain.”
And what about the claim that Bogd Khan Uul is older than Yellowstone?
In 1778, Mongolian aristocrats wrote to the emperor of the Qing (Manchu) dynasty, which ruled the area at the time, asking for Bogd Khan Uul to be designated an official protected area. He said yes.
Meanwhile, Yellowstone, which stretches across parts of Wyoming, Idaho and Montana, was established in 1872. By comparison, Australia got its first national park in 1879, Canada in 1885, France in 1963 and Egypt in 1983.
In the Caribbean, there’s another contender.
The Tobago Main Ridge Forest Reserve, established in 1776, also has a claim to being the world’s oldest protected area.
But many Mongolians ignore the 1778 date and mark the beginning of Bogd Khan Uul’s “protected status” as during the 13th century, which would put the park ahead of its competitors by several centuries.
Unlike Yellowstone and other famous parks, Bogd Khan Uul remains relatively unknown in the rest of the world. That has a lot to do with Mongolia’s location — this cold, landlocked country wedged between China and Russia has not seen many international visitors. Much of the information about the park and its history is only available in Mongolian.
However, that is changing. Mongolia is investing heavily in tourism and hopes the industry can grow to contribute 10% to its economy by 2030. About 808,000 foreign tourists visited Mongolia in 2024, the highest number in history.
For Mongolians like Myagmar, the mountain’s significance is not just about whether it really is the world’s oldest national park or not.
“Before Buddhism even, there’s the shamanism. Very ancient belief is that all the mountains and rivers have their own owner. It’s almost like a ghost,” he says. “Bogd Uul’s owner is this white old man. If we offend this owner, then all sorts of bad things will happen.”
The park’s spiritual legacy remains. Today, Bogd Khan Uul is dotted with ovoos, which are sacred cairns made of rocks, pieces of wood and colorful scraps of fabric. At the park, it’s considered bad manners, if not downright bad luck, to leave behind trash, use the bathroom outside of designated areas or interfere with an ovoo.
Hikes and ger camps
Many travelers staying in the city center combine a visit to the national park with a stop at Zaisan Hill, home to a monument of the same name. This dramatic Brutalist memorial has colorful murals on the inside and is dedicated to Soviet and Mongolian soldiers killed during World War II.
Perched on top of a hill, it’s a good way to get a sense of one’s bearings and a view of the city. However, this largely depends on the sky conditions that day — the air in “UB,” as locals call it, can be very hazy.
From the Zaisan Monument, it’s a short walk to the northern entrance of Bogd Khan Uul. There are trails that range from easy to difficult, all well marked.
Travelers who make it to the top of the mountain should not miss the ruins of the Manzushir Monastery. Once a Buddhist stronghold and home to many monks, Manzushir was destroyed in 1937 by local communists who had joined forces with the Soviet occupiers of the country. Still, the ruins and remaining religious objects are well looked after by residents, especially as the current government is encouraging Mongolian pride and identity.
Most foreign tourists opt for day hikes in Bogd Khan Uul, but those who want to stay the night have a few options with local companies that operate camps of gers, the traditional round Mongolian tents. These camps are rustic and have only basic amenities, but they provide a rare chance to experience the exceptional peace and quiet while stargazing and — for much of the year — watching the snow fall.
Getting in and around
Although Bogd Khan Uul is only about 10 miles south of central Ulaanbaatar, the city’s notoriously congested traffic means it can take up to an hour to get to the park at peak times of day.
Your best bet is to go there on a weekday just after morning rush hour, giving you plenty of daylight for exploring.
Public transit is limited in Ulaanbaatar — there is no subway system, so people either use buses or their own cars to get around. Taxis are generally not labeled — most people simply stand on the side of the road with their hand out and wait for one to pull up. There is an available taxi app, called UBCab app, that offers English functionality, but you’ll need cash to pay if you don’t have a Mongolian bank account.
The country’s air hub, Chinggis Khaan International Airport (UBN), is about an hour and a half from the park.
The airport is mostly limited to short-haul flights from Asian cities like Seoul, Hong Kong and Beijing. United Airlines operates seasonal flights to Mongolia from the US, but they require a stopover in Tokyo.
Beyond Bogd Khan Uul, Mongolia is home to some of the world’s most diverse landscapes and has a total of 29 national parks.
Among them are parts of the Gobi Desert; the UNESCO-listed Orkhon Valley, about five hours’ drive from Ulaanbaatar; the Altai Mountains in far western Mongolia (home to the country’s tallest peak, Tavan Bogd); and the beautiful Lake Khuvsgul, an ancient body of water near the Russian border.

The audience also responded with loud shouts, such as singing along to VVUP's songs, proving the remarkable growth of VVUP in the region.
Meanwhile, VVUP emerged as a "global rookie" by entering iTunes K-pop charts in major overseas music markets such as the U.S. and the U.K. at the same time as its debut in the music industry with its first single album, Locked On. Vocal, rap, and dance are outstanding in many fields, showing infinite growth potential.

Prime Minister Orders to Accelerate Thermal Power Plant Repairs and Renovation www.montsame.mn

Prime Minister of Mongolia Zandanshatar Gombojav reviewed the implementation of his previously issued directives at the state-owned company “Thermal Power Plant No. 3."
Minister of Energy of Mongolia Choijilsuren Battogtokh and Plenipotentiary Representative of the Government Tavinbekh Nansal reported about an accident that occurred on June 2, 2025, at the 50-megawatt high-pressure station, causing a fire in the production building and shutting down the ninth turbogenerator. The officials then presented three courses of action underway to eliminate the ramifications and restore normal operations.
The demolition and reconstruction of the damaged building are planned between July 25 and November 1, 2025. Additionally, the heat production system mode will be adjusted to prevent disruption of heat generation by October 2025. The basic groundwork has been completed, and negotiations are underway for the selection of the contractor.
Furthermore, the seventh and ninth turbogenerators will be fully replaced and commissioned for operation during the 2025–2026 winter. The ninth turbogenerator is the high-voltage power transmission unit located at the site of the accident, while the seventh 25 MW turbogenerator will compensate for the 50 MW lost caused by the accident. The initial funding for the renovation has been included in the state budget amendment, and the remaining funds will be reflected in next year’s budget. Plenipotentiary Representative of the Government Tavinbekh Nansal noted that the ninth turbogenerator is planned to be ordered for manufacture in the People’s Republic of China.
Moreover, a Joint Project with the Russian Federation has been launched to increase the capacity of the 48 MW medium-voltage station by 250 MW, with completion expected in 2028.
Prime Minister Zandanshatar Gombojav reminded the energy sector to work in unity and accelerate reparation and renovation works to prevent heating outages in the winter. The Prime Minister's further directives are as follows: to reduce the oversized structure and unnecessary positions in the sector; cut inefficient expenses; submit proposals by the end of the month; eradicate widely discussed issues such as bid-rigging, supplier pressure, and corruption in procurement processes; apply similar structural and expense-cutting measures to coal mines; prepare proposals for dissolving, merging, or privatizing non-essential units and present them to the Government by August 15, 2025. The Government will conduct a comprehensive inspection of the organization, operations, and finances to resolve the issues.
The 150 MW second block of the Buuruljuut Power Plant is scheduled to be commissioned in December 2025. Additionally, construction of a power plant in Selenge aimag has begun. The Prime Minister assured the country will successfully overcome the upcoming winter with the addition of the Toson Thermal Power Plant in Zavkhan, battery storage systems, and solar power plants.

Drowning deaths in Mongolia rise during Naadam Festival www.xinhuanet.com

Mongolia reported a higher number of drowning deaths during holidays of the traditional Naadam Festival, official data showed on Thursday.
According to the National Police Agency (NPA) of Mongolia, at least 25 people, including six children, were killed in water-related accidents across the country in six days.
During the July 11-16 period, swimming under the influence of alcohol and leaving children unsupervised were the leading causes of such accidents, the agency said.
As of Thursday, water levels in major rivers, including Orkhon, Selenge, Ider, Tamir, Baidrag, Tuin and Ongi, have surpassed warning levels by 20 cm to 120 cm due to heavy rainfall since last weekend, said the National Agency for Meteorology and Environmental Monitoring, urging people to stay away from flooded rivers to prevent possible accidents.
In 2024, a total of 77 people, including 14 children, were killed in water-related accidents in Mongolia.
