Any souvenir and clothing shop: The smart del

by Saagar

Most souvenir shops and most regular clothing stores The short version of the del (both for men and women) I found very attractive, and ended up buying one. Not the one with the sash as on this photo of my friend Tumerbataar, but the one with bone buttoning in front, down to the bum.Bright blue silk with some modest traditional patterns, very good and warm (it is lined), but suitable mainly for special interest parties or for home use. I spent some 40 thousand Ts for this one, but then it was indeed nice, too.

State Department Store 4th floor: Bow and Arrow - Mongolian national sport No. 2

by Saagar

The State Department Store is in a big building with a plaza in front right on the main street, the Peace Avenue. This is well-documented and described by other VT tippers, too.Other souvenir stores and handicraft stores have them, too. I asked a local about the quality of the bows and arrows sold in these stores, and he guaranteed they wer fine and of the normal sort used in Mongolia. The traditional competition bow and arrow can be bought here. It comes in three sizes: 1) children 2) women 3) adult men.They are made from bone and wood and sinew if made properly. Add nylon string for modernity? And varnish.They offered to pack mine in a tube for easy transport. However, transport logistics prevented me from buying one this time. But next time I'll go for it! Silk clothing, , variations of the del (short versions are useful and nice for other places too.Wool clothing.Various artsVisit...

Mongolian goods

by archan4698

Dels, the Mongolian herdsman/woman clothing, can be bought fairly inexpensively. Actually you can buy the fabric, and have it made for you fairly quickly. A snuff bottle is another popular item, they range from very cheap 5 dollar bottles to 100 dollars or more.

ULAAN BAATOR : STATE DEPARTMENT STORE

by swesn

This is a HUGE and very modern Department Store-cum-Supermarket.Considering the fact that you are in Mongolia, a very REMOTE country, this place is actually quite well-stocked.Everything, if you are not too demanding, seems to be available in the ground-floor supermarket floor and upper-floor department stores. Good to stock up on groceries to cook at your guesthouse.

The State Department Store: Souvenirs in Mongolia

by D_Shannon

The State Dept Store in UB has a great selection of souvenirs, including some wonderful Mongolian jackets, but the prices are a bit high. Save it for last, and instead do all the shopping you can at smaller, cheaper outlets. There's a good one around the corner from that Bayansomethingorother hotel near the square, and the small shop in the Juulchin Camp airport actually had some really nice postcards and masks. Or, of course, you can be a real tourist like us and manage to shop right in the middle of the Gobi! Traditional jacket.Sheep ankle bones (for fortune telling - make sure you get an English instruction kit!)Wooden masks.Vodka! Comes in a fantastic leather pouch.

Souvenirs from the train

by SirRichard

In the restaurant wagon, they have a little shop where they sell typical products. We bought some cachemire gloves and a camel wool pullover.Besides, in every station where the train stops you can see an intense trading through the windows, mainly between chinese people of the train and locals…
