Recommendations on where to visit in Mongolia?

8 years 10 months ago #441081 by neal1977
I'm going to be in Northern China in August and seeing that I've never been to Mongolia before, I'm now thinking about extending my stay and traveling up there.  Has anyone been there before and can make some recommendations on where to go for great photos?  

If you know of areas that I shouldn't go, please post that too.  I want to make sure this is not only an enjoyable trip, it's a safe one too.  

Thanks in advance.

Get a decent guide or go on a tour. In China you WILL get ripped off if you're not careful. When buying stuff you WILL have to pay more than usual and it helps if you bargain. Usually they'll charge at LEAST double the normal price, if not more.

If they're charging 100 yuan (for example) you should counter with 10yuan

Is there even a major city in Mongolia?

:agree: I'm all about traveling to new locations, however I would rather travel the Great Wall too.  There would be so much to photograph on that trip.
