Gobi desert, the 6-th Biosphere Reserve Area in the world, is home for camel breeders, rich wildlife and vegetation. Gobi desert is very famous with its distinctive landscapes and fossils of petrified of dinosaurs. In the unspoiled nature of Gobi desert live rare animals that can be found nowhere else on the earth: one humped wild camels, wild asses and desert bear.

Gobi is imagined as lifeless desert, but in reality gobi holds many thrilling surprises such as thousands of miles stretching sand dunes, small springs, rocky mountains, dry plains with semi shrubs, salt wetlands and oasis. Each guest to this strange spectacular place, full of mirages, is fascinated by the endless flat plateau, where time is still and only blue sky and scorching sun reign.

Bayanzag Flaming Cliffs

A Bayanzag Flaming cliff is very famous for 2 things: 1. Dinosaur cemetery 2. Neolithic site. For centuries the nomads have frequently found bones of strange creatures what they call “dragons”, worshipped them, protected and refrained from touching or digging them. Actually the bones were not dragon's, but it belonged to dinosaurs that roamed the earth 70-75 million years ago.

The large dinosaur skeletons on show in New York Natural History Museum were found at 1900-s by American Dr.Roy Chapman Andrews and the giant dinosaur skeletons in Ulaanbaatar Natural History Museum were found at Bayanzag cliff. These fossils were used later as dinosaur formation for making movie Jurassic Park. In sunrise and sunset time Bayanzag cliffs are looked like very legendary with color of red like flame.
