Ulaanbaatar, January 1, 2024 /MONTSAME/. The tradition of organizing New Year's sunrise tours began two decades ago, initiated by the Ulaanbaatar railway team with just two wagons. The 20th edition of this sunrise tour featured an expansion to 21 wagons.
Over the years, the New Year's sunrise tour has seen a growing number of both local and international participants, establishing itself as a significant event contributing to the advancement of winter tourism.
This year alone, Mongolia welcomed around 80 tourists specifically for the purpose of witnessing the first sunrise of the new year. Bagakhangai district saw the gathering of about 5,000 domestic citizens and 1,000 cars for this occasion.
Since its inception in 2013, the sunrise tour in the district has followed a specialized program, ensuring smooth traffic flow by clearing snow from both directions of the sunrise viewing area in 2024, traffic was not obstructed, and direction signs were placed at three locations.
Citizens commended the well-coordinated execution of this year's sunrise tour.
