In 1931, the Dalanzadgad city was first established on the hills of the Dalanbulag river with more than 30 homes. Currently, Dalanzadgad is becoming the development center of Umnugovi province, which is the country’s fast expanding province due to the development and construction based on the mining industry. Dalanzadgad has an area of 47.6 thousand hectares. It is located at an average height of 1300-1600 meters above sea level and 580 km away from Ulaanbaatar.
