Mongolia - Places To Visit In Mongolia - Travel Advice

Mongolia - Things To Do In Mongolia - Travel Advice

Mongolia is a country located between two giant neighbors, the Russian Federation and China. It was great during the period of Mongol conquest under Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan, as to the twentieth century, Mongolia had a size three times larger than today, including much of Siberia and Inner Mongolia, now controlled by China.

Mongol People - As there is no one-child policy like China, Mongolian women have children they want and usually stop when they have brought the world an equal number of daughters and sons (2 and 2 or 3 and 3). The men are loving and attentive to children, although most of the work in the lives of pastoralists falls on women: preparing food, keep clean the chairs, the ger, clothing, pots, stove, go for firewood or dried dung to feed the stove, fetch water.

At an early age, around its eighth year of school at 15 years, and children begin to work, but there is enormous respect from adults in the games (and the time to play) in children and young people. In full summer, now that the sun sets at 10 pm,

Mongol Sports Festival - A sports festival that is celebrated throughout Mongolia in July, but the best known is the capital, Ulan Bator. Only lasts three days but it seems that the whole nation lives half the year preparing and commenting on how the other half was.

It consists of three tests, horse racing, wrestling and archery.

Horse race - Horse races are crazy. They travel at top speed between 15 and 30 miles by category, which depends on the age of the horse. The jockeys are children between 5 and 13 years and most are bareback, without a saddle, no stirrups, barefoot ... The winning horses, riders who do not, they become national stars.
Today tourism is opening up looking for new destinations, some crowded and offer the taste of adventure and strong cultural component and landscape.

Places To Visit In Mongolia 

Ulan Bator - If Mongolia is the Ying, unspoiled nature in its pure state, Ulan Bator fits very well to his yang. A huge commercial city, heavy traffic, night life and bohemian counter-culture, the capital of Mongolia also raises shock excitation.

Ever-expanding suburban ger (yurt) surround the city, offering an air front to back Soviet urban planning. Ulan Bator, ever-changing may be the biggest surprise of his adventure in Mongolia.

Tov - Located on a blanket of pines, planted rocks and slopes of the Khan Khentii mountain range, it is hard to believe that Ulan Bator, with its one million citizens, is only a mountain away. The proximity of the capital Töv has in no way prejudiced its pristine landscape.

In Töv aimag has restored some beautiful monasteries as Mandshir Khiid Bogdkhan National Park Uul. It also has some curious places, such as the oversized statue of Chinggis Khaan Nalaikh about the possibility of lunch in a model of a battlefield or thirteenth century Mongol able to sleep in the oddly named Field of Dresden. A large part of the aimag north is occupied by National Parks Gorkhi-Terelj, Khentii Khan Uul Bogdkhan. The southern half of the desert steppe of Töv is soft and most travelers pass quickly on its way to the aimag Dundgov.

Khustain Nuruu National Park - Also known as the Cordillera Khustain Nuruu, this park was established in 1993 and is about 100 kilometers southwest of Ulan Bator. The reserve protects 620 hectares of wild horse of Mongolia, takhi, and the steppe, as well as forests in the vicinity. The park is administered by the National Park Hustai Trust, which is supported by the Dutch government of Mongolia and the Association for the Conservation of Nature and the Environment (MACN).

Gobi Desert - The notion of the Gobi Desert seen as a wasteland of deserted sand dunes has been developed only in the mind of a few romantic. While it is a rather bleak in the world, the Gobi Desert is also very diverse, with ice-filled canyons, rock formations and green oasis. The dunes are really rare, they cover only 3% of the Gobi. As expected, a trip to the Gobi Desert is not comfortable or easy. Between the summer heat, winter cold, dust storms, poor infrastructure and lack of water, this is one of the harshest landscapes on the planet. A telegram from Mildred, an Englishwoman who crossed it in the early 1920, said: "Surely only a fool would cross the Gobi desert." Somehow, the Mongolians have made their home in this inhospitable land with scattered camps that still dot the plains, villages and occasional dilapidated monasteries in ruins. A look at the ground show an ancient past in the Gobi, then we can find a lot of fossils. The provinces or aimags of the Gobi are Bayankhongor, Dornogov, Dundgov, Altai and Ömnögov, and small-scale goat herder and camel, and increasingly, tourism.

Aerial demon, more expensive even than in Europe. In the area closest to the edge of the wilderness, and therefore their departure, there are lots of camps where they can practice adventure sports and various activities, "surfing" on the sand, camel riding, rent bikes, quads and ATVs, horseback riding, jumping off a couple of zip lines, getting into a giant transparent ball, etc.. Each activity can be paid separately and the price ranges between 4 € and 18 € or buy a pack for about 30 €.

Of course, it is advisable to visit this destination is to go with Spanish-speaking guide to make your stay more enjoyable.

Moreover, there are some "rules" that the Chinese want visitors respect. We must remember that they are a completely different culture. For example, punctuality is something that gives great importance.

At lunchtime, we might find some dishes that we can hit a little, but we must remember that the Chinese may represent an "insult" to reject any of the dishes they offer. Nor is it seen them eat the entire food, it is best to always leave a little food.

Beijing - which in Chinese means "Northern Capital" is the current capital of China and has had many names till today. Between 1928 and 1949, was known in Chinese as Beiping, whose meaning was "Northern Peace", but during the Japanese occupation of the city regained the name of Beijing, and later called back to Beiping after the end of the Second World War when the Japanese left China. Since the 1980s, the Taiwanese media also used the name and this name Beijing (Beijing) that corresponds to the traditional Spanish "Beijing." Therefore, Beijing (in Chinese) and Beijing (in Spanish), we refer to the same stunning city rich in history, culture and ancient monuments that are worth including in our cities pending visit.

It is also advisable to be very aware that what you buy is what you have offered, that is, can offer a piece of polyester, making sure it is silk.

Places to visit or where to go


When we think of China, imagine temples, palaces, monuments ... But I really can not describe the feeling of being in front of any of its historic sites because China represents a mixture of contrasts.

The Tiananmen Square - Square is the largest in the world, with over 440,000 m2. In it we see the Mausoleum of Mao Zedong, a building in which lies the embalmed body of the founder of the People's Republic of China. In his two fronts has sculptures of peasants, soldiers, workers and students.

The palace was built during from 1406 to 1420. After numerous renovations and rebuilds the palace still retains the original design and the scale. The entire palace was designed symmetrically with a north-south.
Also known as Imperial Palace occupies an area of 720,000 m2 and has more than 9,000 rooms, it is certainly the best preserved and for over 500 years was the residence of the Emperor of China

First Palace is divided into two parts, the outside was the place where the emperors tried to official business, and inside that was where the emperors lived and his concubines.

The Temple of Heaven - Heavenly Temple was built in the Ming Dynasty about the year 1420. The emperors of the Ming and Qing used it to show love to heaven, in this place of animal sacrifices were made, usually around December 22 of Chinese lunar calendar in the presence of the emperor, to offer them to heaven. Its main building is a circular for emperors could speak aloud to all sides, built in a completely symmetrical. Master the blue on their roofs because of its role.

Traditionally, the Temple of Heaven was a place of worship for emperors of the Ming and Qing did prayers to heaven for good harvests and the rains. It is the largest existing temples in China. Currently, visitors to have as superstition pray for fertility when they come to the Temple of Heaven.

The Summer Palace - Is a collection of temples, gardens, lakes and palaces that served as a place of recreation for the Imperial Court.

Summer Palace is one of the imperial gardens of the Qing Dynasty, best known and visited. The Summer Palace was built during the years 1750 and 1764. It was badly damaged in the war in 1886 (between China and English and French Alliance). Inside the Tower of Buddhist Incense is a religious building was designed in the center of the garden, comes from the praise of Buddhism Buddha.

The Great Wall of China (Badaling) - Monument Heritage Site with 6,700 kilometers from the border with Korea to the Gobi Desert, part of the Silk Road. Badaling is a route frequented by tourists, so if you want to see the true essence of this tour we recommend Manuel and Lourdes visit Mutianyu addition, as it can be much more indigenous than Badaling.

The Great Wall is the most impressive building is representative of the Chinese civilization. It is one of the wonders of the world and humanity's cultural heritage. The Great Wall was built over two thousand years, is the symbol of China. A long walk but worth it.

Things To Do In Sydney - Travel Advice

Places To Visit In Sydney - Travel Advice

The beaches in Sydney are very famous. Sydney has more than 50 beaches and influences the culture of the city. The most famous and popular beaches are Bondi and Manly.

New South Wales Art Gallery is the most important art museum in New South Wales -Sydney, and one of the most famous cultural institutions of Australia.

The Bay Bridge -was an engineering milestone when it opened in 1932 and today remains the longest bridge in the world. One of the extraordinary views is from the Royal Botanic Gardens, taking us on a delightful walk to Macquaries Point. Walking from The Rocks, Circular Quay went through a meeting point for ferries, buses and trains.

Sydney Opera House - located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, It was designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon in 1957 and inaugurated on October 20, 1973, attended by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. Unquestionably, this is the most recognizable icons of the city of Sydney. His famous figure which mainly comprise of different roofs, was inspired by palm fronds, as told by the architect who designed it, Jorn Utzon.

Harbour Bridge - and when is not yet out of the fascination produced by the silhouette of the Opera, another awesome icon comes from the western Sydney. Has long been the longest arch bridge in the world. Today one of the towers has a viewpoint where you can enjoy an excellent panoramic view of the city.

Circular Quay (Circular Quay) - Circular Quay is built around Sydney Cove (Sydney Cove) and many consider the most important point of the city.

Cairns - From Cairns you can hire all kinds of excursions, usually a day for diving, kayaking, riding a quad ... etc. Undoubtedly the most popular and interesting diving is because the Barrier Reef is spectacular and unique in the world. You can also do a course with the card you get the diver (PADI). Hundreds of people a year go to Cairns to dive.

Although it seems a contradiction, Cains has no own beach which is easily accessible by walking from the city, so that the city has built in the center play area with fountains, pools, ponds, a walk and lawn the enjoyment of tourists and locals, called Esplanade. If you go to a real beach, I recommend you ask in the center, will tell you the buses that take you to the nearest.

Aquarium - Do not miss, if you come to Sydney to visit the aquarium! Inside, everything is reversed. The aquarium is designed so that visitors have the impression of being closer to the fish. The paths are constructed out of the aquariums in tunnels, so you can watch the fish below and above our heads, and 360 degrees! This is by far the finest and largest aquarium I've seen, but I found none to compete!

Australia Sydney - Travel Advice

Australia Sydney Tour - Travel Advice

Sidney-is the biggest city in Australia, with a population in its metropolitan area is the capital of New South Wales and was the settlement of the first British colony in Australia

Sydney weather - has a humid subtropical climate with mild summers and cold winters with low precipitation. The climate is moderated by proximity to the sea, and extreme temperatures are recorded in the inner western suburbs. The hottest month is January.

Where to stay? 
The Glebe - The neighborhood where most travelers prefer to stay is the Glebe, which has a continuous activity for 24 hours. Here the fun and nightlife go hand in hand. By all accounts, exchange houses and souvenir shops are interspersed with the most varied restaurants menus. However, there are hundreds of cafes, pubs, nightclubs and sex shops that attention of passers misleading, but always is well guided by the signposts.

A recommended route to move around the city is the slow ferries that sail across the bay, from Miltons Point, located in the North Bay. It has one of the best views of Sydney Harbour Bridge in the foreground, and the Opera in the background. After crossing the bridge is recommended to walk and climb the south tower, from where the view over the city is spectacular.

However I was able to visit many places in the city. For once, I left the museum side, for Sydney, unlike Melbourne, is not a city where culture is emphasized. I think we can easily realize the cost of living in a city, just by looking at the rates of transport! Sydney is a very expensive city, almost equal to Paris. Speaking of Paris, a few small pieces reminded me of the City of Light! I found Sydney dirtier than other cities of Australia. However, it should qualify, we are far from Paris, it's still very light! But when you're used to the clean, sanitized view, it is difficult!

Sydney Trains-Commuter trains also reminded me of Paris. While most are very nice and relatively new, others are old and rather dirty. But by no means is the atmosphere the same. I was surprised to see how everyone made sure that no one travels up! In addition, the atmosphere on the train to work out is downright cheerful, I like being in a parallel world, where people were laughing and having a good time together in transportation.

To cross the street in Sydney is quite a hassle! Those who have already gone in Australia are well aware of what I mean. In general, the pedestrian has priority about 8 seconds to cross! I remember the first street I've been through in Australia, I wondered if it was really serious! It is therefore necessary to run to cross at times, failing to remain planted 5 more minutes.

Sydney Shopping - If you like shopping, Sydney is a paradise on Earth! George Street is the busiest shopping street, where we find the luxury department stores such as Gucci, Prada or Louis Vuitton! Not far from the town hall are the Queen Victoria Building, built in the nineteenth century, and whose interior consists of shopping arcades. It is to me the most beautiful shopping area I've seen in Australia. You want to spend time, stores are refined and individuals. I was luckier to be there for Christmas time to see the famous giant Christmas tree set with Swarovski crystals, beautiful! Moreover, by the way, I think the month of December is a great time to visit Australia this summer, the Australians are on holiday and are free for you to visit their environment, the spirit of Christmas in Australia is a must see! The downside is that hotels are soaring!
