Where is Ulaanbaatar Hot?

Ulaanbaatar Hot is the capital region of Mongolia, a small administrative unit built around the city of Ulaanbaatar. Unlike the vast provinces around it, this region is defined by a single city. Ulaanbaatar fills almost all of it.

The region is set within the wider country, surrounded on every side by the rest of Mongolia. Its boundaries enclose the capital and the ground immediately around it, rather than a broad stretch of the open country that fills the rest of the nation. The city is the region, and the region is the city.

Also known as Ulan Bator, the capital is the whole of the region in all but name. Ulaanbaatar Hot exists to give the capital its own administrative standing, apart from the provinces that ring it. The region is compact where the rest of Mongolia is enormous.

Beyond its edges lies the wider country of Mongolia. Within them, everything belongs to Ulaanbaatar, the seat of the country's government and its largest city. That makes it unlike any other region in the country.

No other town shares the region with the capital.
