Uliastai Mountain
乌里雅斯太山
A sacred ovoo mountain north of the East Ujimqin Banner seat, with views from the summit over Uliastai Town and the Ujimqin grassland.
Uliastai Mountain lies about 15 km north of Uliastai Town, the seat of East Ujimqin Banner. It is a sacred ovoo mountain where local herders hold rituals, and the summit ovoo cluster and prayer flags stand out on the grassland. You can climb by steps or dirt paths, and from the top you can see Uliastai Town and the rolling Ujimqin grassland. In summer there are often yurt camps at the foot of the mountain. An ovoo worship ceremony takes place every summer; when circling the ovoo, go clockwise and do not casually take stones or khata scarves. From the town, head north and turn in where the scenic area signs point. It suits a same-day visit with Lama Kulun Temple. It is windy at the top, so bring a jacket.
