Ulaanbaatar was originally founded in 1639 as a Buddhist Monastic centre, however, tombs and artefacts from the Xiongnu-era have been found around the area along with an abundance of woolly rhino and mammoth bones. The city was formerly a mobile-monastery town and moved to many places before becoming too large and settling at the confluence of the Tuul and Selbe Rivers. The area was the perfect location for trade between China and Russia with a predominant route for furs and tea to and from each country. During the beginning of the 20th century, Mongolia’s economic base changed to a market economy which led to rapid growth of the city. Over recent years the city has experienced numerous construction projects to expand the urban areas as well as population growth.
