The Coldest Capital City in the World | First Impressions of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia 🇲🇳| Part 1

Ulaanbaatar is the capital of Mongolia and has the distinction of being the world's coldest capital city, with temperatures dropping to -30°F during the winter. After flying with Mongolia's flag carrier, MIAT Mongolian Airlines, we decided to spend a few days in and around the capital to see what it was like. Join us as we explore this frigid metropolis during January, the coldest month of the year!

I once played tennis with a young man from Mongolia here in Pasadena, California. He was easily the most well-mannered man I've ever met in my entire life. I believe it's a Mongolian thing.

[@Berlinerjeep]

So glad you shared this trip!! Love the flight reviews but this was great!!

[@nycflyertravel]

Thank you! Very different from my airline videos but I wanted to share this unique experience with everyone.

Kudos to both of you for going out in the very cold weather and finding interesting places to visit. Hopefully, you will be able to visit Mongolia again when it's a warmer season. I have seen several videos of foreign visitors staying overnight in a traditional yurt and observing some Mongolian contests involving horses. Mongolians have a reputation of being quite friendly to visitors. Would like to hear your thoughts about that.

@@johnvsymons we’ll make sure to include that in the upcoming videos. Thanks for watching.

[@640amthemix]

Your best video in my opinion. Ive always had Ulaanbaatar on my weather widget due to its cold temps.

[@nycflyertravel]

Thank you! It was fun to explore during the winter

[@user-du9bf7qh5m]

January and February is the coldest month in Mongolia. 2 days ago, on feb 21st, the coldest temperature since Feb of 1960 was recorded, and even broke a record in some provinces reaching -48C. Last few days were freezing in Ulaanbaatar reaching -42C in the early morning, -30C in the day.

10:23 Between 1955 and 1965, Mongolia and China were very friendly. That building was a gift from China. The construction of a Chinese individual store

[@nycflyertravel]

Very interesting, thanks for sharing

7:04 That is Korean ice cream. In Mongolia, there are many Mongolian, Korean, and Russian ice creams.

[@tseklorraine-pi8pk]

-8 means so warm day in winter of mongolia😂.

[@coffeecoffee2096]

Fahrenheit It is -22C and when he says -22f it is -30C

[@Strollerist]

That icecream was hilarious 🤣. I think it supposed to be crunchy to suck it up. That is very korean snack, i guess.

[@nycflyertravel]

Haha yeah I think it was Korean. I’ve never seen anything like it before

[@Strollerist]

[@raztoader]

[@nycflyertravel]

We stayed at the Shangri-La. I covered it a bit in the next video

[@raztoader]

Thx! Planning a trip in Mongolia next winter

[@nycflyertravel]

@@raztoader awesome! I hope you have a great trip

[@QwertyuioopasdfgjjklzZz]

Shangrila AGHH hotel

[@chinzochog4873]

Eating ice cream outside in winter is good way to get sick. They should hire a guide too.

[@QwertyuioopasdfgjjklzZz]

7:34 my guy it’s condom cover💀

[@longdistancelikeness]

Not ulanbataar, it’s Ulaanbaatar

[@user-qk9gi5hd4u]

it's not a cult. SM Ching Hai is second coming of a Jesus. She's a true enlightened master who teaches inner light and sound meditation.

[@cosmoskid4613]

What are you talking about?

[@Strollerist]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. You know Jesus himself was a leader of cult, that is why romans killed him.

[@Strollerist]

🤣🤣 only a cult member would say so.

[@gritcrit4385]

10:40 they sell it here because Mongolians buy it lol.
