BUMBUGUR (the purple market)

It is located west along tourist street which is a block behind the State Dept store. Walk north on the east side of the Dept. Store then turn left on tourist street, a pedestrianised area. Walk the length of the pedestrianised area, cross the next road still walking west. When you reach the corner of a high-fenced area turn right and you will see it in front of you. It has two buildings now (one on the rigth is new).

It has variety of stalls - groceries, veggies, meat, and fruits on the ground floor; dry goods on the second floor - stationery, kitchenware, bathroom items, electrical items and appliances, clothes and bags. Haggle to your heart's content!

Bit crowded. Speak in Mongolian. Closed on Mondays.

International Transport.

Railways
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To Beijing

1. There is only one pre-bookable train to Beijing which leaves early Thursday mornings.
   
2. The Sunday Beijing train from Moscow stops in UB and you can board if there is a berth.

Cost - T 66.000 for four berth and T 110,000 for double berth.

From Beijing

1. To pre-book, you need to go to the Beijing International Hotel's International Ticket office. It is on the second floor (Mongolian). The hotel is up the road opposite the railway station on the right hand side of the road. Very white and a very nice Hotel too.
2. It is definitely worth spending the extra and taking a double berth. Four berth are very cramped.
   

Cost - RMB 1,000 for double berth.
