Sparseness in the countryside and traffic jam in city
Wednesday, July 4th, 2007Once the job was done in Huvsgul province, we departed and flew by Eznis again and got some aerial pictures. These pictures show the difference in population density clearly. The following one shows Murun town which is the center of Huvsgul province. The rows of streets of ger community are visible.
The next picture shows a soum, into which a province is divided. Few administrative buildings and rows of streets are seen by the river valley.
The least density is shown in the following picture. The white dots are gers or yurts (which is tradtional mobile home) of nomadic families in the countryside. the earth roads are visible too.
Finally when one comes in Ulaanbaatar designed in 1940-50’s, the road system is outdated. Traffic is stressful during peak times.
