Dalanzadagad is a mid size town (12,500 residents) and administrative center of a large
province Omnogovi located in the South of Mongolia within 560km (350mi) from Ulaanbaatar. The town is mainly known as the gateway to the South Gobi desert sites, but has little to offer to city life admirers. Just a small post office, two motels, a market (mainly selling meat), a restaurant with unpredictable schedule, and a small bank that conducts basic operations. With the capital, Dalanzadagad has air connection and during the summer, flights are pretty frequent.
