Here, visitors can find everything from traditional Mongolian clothing, such as deels (Mongolian robes), to furniture, household items, antiques, and much more. It's a bustling hub of activity where locals and tourists alike can immerse themselves in the vibrant local culture, haggle over prices, and discover unique items.
