Altai Mountains of Mongolia
The Mongolian Altai Mountains are an important part of the Altai Mountain system in central Asia, which stretches mainly across western Mongolia and into Xinjiang, China and Russia. Its highest peak, Youyi Peak, rises to 4,374 meters above sea level, and is known for its rugged glaciers and vast meadows. As the birthplace of ancient nomadic civilization, the region has preserved numerous archaeological sites such as rock paintings and stone carvings, reflecting the historical lineage of steppe culture.
Ecology and Natural Resources
The mountain ecosystems are diverse, covering alpine tundra, forested grasslands and wetlands, and are the habitat of rare species such as snow leopards and pan sheep. Local rivers such as the Kobdo River are important water sources in Central Asia. Mineral resources are abundant, but exploitation is limited by stringent environmental regulations to balance conservation with sustainable development.
People and Tourism
Mongolian herders continue their traditional nomadic lifestyle and have a unique seasonal migration culture. Tourism is mainly eco-adventure, offering trekking, mountaineering and cultural heritage visits. Travelers should be aware of the volatile climate at high altitude and are advised to arrange their trips through regular travel agencies. The region is listed as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, emphasizing its global ecological value.
