Memories of Mongolia's Yolin-am: Yolin-am Museum🇲🇳

[Trip Moment Delivery.🗞️] Let's go to Yolyn Am Museum on this trip!!✈️ 🛄ㅣYolyn Am Museum🏛 We visited Yolyn Am Valley, one of Mongolia's representative natural attractions, and the small Yolyn Am Museum located there. This place, where you can see Mongolia's history and nature at a glance, is small in size but full of very interesting exhibits!! Yolyn Am Museum is a small natural history museum located near the entrance to Gobi Gurvansaikhan National Park. Here, you can see various exhibits on the national park's ecosystem, wild animals, and even dinosaur fossils. The museum is a small one-story building, but it is very helpful in understanding Mongolia's nature and history~👍 When you enter the museum, you will first see a space where Mongolia's representative wild animal specimens are displayed. Inside the glass case, stuffed animals such as ibex (wild goat), argali (wild sheep), marmot, and pika that live in this area were displayed, and the ecology and characteristics of each animal were explained. In particular, the stuffed Lammergeier, which is considered sacred in Mongolia, was impressive!! In addition, there is a dinosaur fossil exhibition hall on one side of the museum. The Gobi Desert is famous for being a place where many dinosaur fossils were discovered in the past, and here, you can see fossils such as the skull fossil of Protoceratops and claw fossil of Velociraptor. It was even more interesting because the fossils were actually discovered in this area, and I realized once again that Mongolia is an important place for dinosaur research~🦕 As soon as I entered the museum, the interior had a somewhat simple atmosphere, but it had a unique charm that allowed me to feel the nature of Mongolia. The staff kindly explained the exhibits, and since it was in Mongolian, I listened to the English explanations while viewing them!!👏 The first thing that caught my eye was the stuffed ibex and argali. I had actually seen the ibex from afar while hiking, so it was even more interesting. Even though it was a stuffed animal, it felt alive, and it was even more fascinating to hear the explanation of how they lived in this harsh environment~😃 In the dinosaur fossil exhibition area, I saw children happily taking pictures. I also observed the dinosaur claw fossil up close, and the sharp claws of the Velociraptor were truly overwhelming. The museum was not large, but it was impressive that it contained various nature and history of Mongolia in a small scale. When I came out of the museum, the surrounding scenery was so beautiful. The valley in the distance and the blue sky combined to leave a pleasant aftertaste even after visiting the museum!!👍 ✅️ | Tips for visiting Yolin Am Museum ✔ Location: Near the entrance of Yolin Am Valley ✔ Entrance fee: 5,000 MNT (approximately $1.45) ✔ Operating hours: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM (may vary depending on the season) ✔ Duration: Approximately 30-40 minutes is enough to see the whole place ✔ Recommended items to bring: Bring comfortable shoes, water, and a hat for hiking in the national park!
