While I was working in Beijing, I was on a stupid restricted visa which only allowed me to stay in mainland China for 30 days per stay. Usually, this means a quick trip to Hong Kong, but since I was already in Beijing (which is in Northern China), I figured I'd take a quick holiday to neighboring Mongolia (not to be confused with Inner Mongolia which is part of China). My plan was to fly from Beijing to Ulaanbaatar (the capital) and make my way back to China via local trains. The first thing you notice when you fly into Ulaanbaatar is that the airport is named after their great hero Genghis Khan, which apparently is properly spelled "Chinggis Khaan."
