Ovoo, en mongol, es un tipo de mojón o cairn chamánico que se encuentra en Mongolia, por lo general hecho de rocas o madera. Los ovoos se encuentran a menudo en la parte superior de las montañas y en lugares altos.
Sirven principalmente como lugares de culto, para honrar a las montañas y el cielo, así como en las ceremonias budistas, pero a menudo también son puntos de referencia (Wikipedia).

Ovoo, in Mongolian, is a type of shamanic cairn found in Mongolia, usually made of rocks or wood. Ovoos are often found on top of mountains and in high places.
They mainly serve as places of worship, to honor the mountains and the sky, as well as in Buddhist ceremonies, but they are often landmarks as well (Wikipedia).

C'était bien avant le Covid. Prise à Oulan-Bator. J'ai vu certaines femmes mongoles (curieusement pas d'hommes) se surprotéger la tête et les mains avec port de gants. Mais pourquoi ? Le H1N1 de l'époque ? Mystère...

After the refreshments our hosts played music and sang for us. This man is playing a horse head fiddle, he also sang two double throat songs that were as wonderful to hear as they were amazing. The man was very talented and he sang beautifully.
Once our train was returned to the station, I and others climbed out of the train to watch the exchange of the Chinese locomotives for a Mongolian loco. We took our photos but failed to notice that the hydrolic steps had been retraced on the passenger cars and all the doors locked. We had visions of being stranded in China without luggage and travel documents.
Our pleadings were answered, the doors opened and the steps lowered on the first car (three back from the loco, don't ask). We climbed aboard, the train was again sealed and we then stood at the station for another hour while Chinese Immigration inspected our documents.
When this was all done, the train crossed into Mongolia where we spent another two hours while we were processed by Mongolian Immigration authorities. They also attached a Mongolian dining car which served only scrambled eggs and didn't open until 7 o'clock.
We left the Mongolian town of Dzamin Ude around 3 in the morning, the power and air conditioning came back on and the lights flickered into action. But for most of us, this was nothing as to having the toilets unlocked.
There is no need to describe it... just a typical Mongolian railscape!
The photo was taken during a recent group tour organized in early August with Hungarian and Japanese railfans.

The fortifications of the town were built after the Mongol Invasion. It had four gates, which opened to the south, west, north and northeast. The plain of the town slightly slopes north, so the southern gate, which was located on the highest point, was called Upper Gate, while the northeastern gate, which was located on the lowest point, was called Lower Gate. The walls were defended by wide moats.
The trade road coming from the central regions of Hungary left the town towards Poland through the Lower Gate. From the town gate a little wooden bridge led to a half-round barbican, which still stands, surrounded by moats. From the barbican a drawbridge led across the moat. After the fortifications of the town lost their significance, the wooden bridges over the moats were demolished and a new stone bridge was raised with two 5-metres wide arches in 1821. A similar stone bridge was built to connect the barbican with the town but it had only one arch.
After we left Ulaanbaatar on the Trans-Mongolian our train headed west towards Russia where I woud get off in Irkutsk. For around 7 hours we passed through a magnificent landscape of mountains, rivers and lush farmland dotted with small villages.
The train windows were dirty, and still I had to record the passing scene, both in still shots and on video. The sun set around 21:30, we reached the Russian border about 2 hours later. We spent a good four hours at the border, and as with entering Mongolia, the power was shut down (the train had no air conditioning) and all the toilets were locked.
As the train had no dining car, and to help pass the time, my fellow travellers and I broke into our stash of emergency travel food and made an improvised midnight snack.

The next morning our hosts rode across the valley on horses, camels and yaks to welcome us, and offer us a ride on one of their animals to their home camp. My best yak riding days are behind me, so I walked, but many of the guests mounted up for the ride across the valley.
