Ulan Bator
Excerpted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ulan Bator, or Ulaan Baator, or Ulaanbaatar, is the capital of Mongolia.

Names
Ulan Bator has had numerous names in its history.
From 1639-1706, it was known as Örgöö (Mongolian: Örgöö, residence), and from 1706-1911 as Ikh Khüree, Da Khüree or simply Khüree (Mongolian: Khüree = "great camp").
Its Chinese name was Kulun (pinyin: Kúlún).
Upon independence in 1911, with both the secular government and the Bogd Khan's palace present, the city's name changed to (Mongolian: Niislel Khüree = "capital").

When the city became the capital of the new Mongolian People's Republic in 1924, its name was changed to Ulaanbaatar ("red hero"), in honour of Mongolia's national hero Damdin Sükhbaatar, whose warriors liberated Mongolia from Ungern von Sternberg's troops and Chinese occupation shoulder-to-shoulder with the Soviet Red Army.
His statue still adorns Ulan Bator's central square.

In Europe and North America, Ulan Bator was generally known as Urga (after the Russian form for Örgöö) or sometimes Kuren before 1924, and Ulan Bator afterwards.
The Russian spelling is different from the Mongolian because it was defined phonetically, and the Cyrillic script was only introduced in Mongolia seventeen years later.

N.B. Hui Chin and I went passed this place and it looked to us as a 'native reservation' living in the traditional Mongolian way.

It is in fact "Suburbia" of Ulan Bator and similar settlements surrounding the city all around.
