💰3. Mongolia's currency is called Mongolian Tugrik (MNT), abbreviated as Mongolian Tugrik.
RMB cannot be used in Mongolia, and WeChat and Alipay are rarely used. However, UnionPay debit cards, VISA and MASTER international credit cards can basically be used in Mongolia. The currency exchange point in the terminal hall can exchange Mongolian tugriks, and the exchange rate is very fair, so you can exchange with confidence. You can also exchange at ATMs with UnionPay logos in urban banks.

🚗4. There is no subway in Mongolia. Traveling is only by private cars (taxi), buses, and bicycles (this year there are shared electric cars and shared scooters). There are very few regular taxis in Mongolia. They are all private cars. If you wave and are willing to stop, it will be the one. However, language is a huge barrier to communicate with the driver.
Airport bus, X19 from the airport to Sukhbaatar Square, the ticket price is 15,000 Mongolian tugriks, about 30 yuan.

📣6. Try not to speak loudly in public. Mongolians like quietness. Don't make loud noises when eating in restaurants or walking on the street to avoid unnecessary trouble.

⚡7. The voltage in Mongolia is 220 volts, and the sockets are the same as in China, so there is no need to bring a converter.

🍚8. The food culture in Mongolia is very different from that in China. They mainly serve Mongolian and Western food, with large plates and large portions, so be careful when ordering and don't order too much.
Many restaurants in Mongolia do not provide chopsticks, so it is more convenient to carry a pair of chopsticks with you.

🐂8. What should I pay attention to when traveling to pastoral areas? When traveling in pastoral areas, remember not to urinate or defecate anywhere by the river, because Mongolians think that river water is very clean and sacred. Remember, don't litter anywhere in pastoral areas.

🀄10. Don't play cards or mahjong in hotels or any places in Mongolia. If you are caught by the police for playing cards, you will be held accountable.

🚗11. Chinese driver's licenses are not recognized in Mongolia, so you cannot rent a car and drive it yourself after arriving in Mongolia. If you are caught driving without a license, the consequences will be serious.
