Highlights and Information


From 2023 to 2025 the Mongolian government is strengthening efforts to attract inbound tourists as "Visit Mongolia Year: Welcome to Mongolia." Mongolia has many diverse charms unique to it: gazing at a sky full of stars visible only in clear night skies, a comfortable ger stay on the steppe, savoring the hearty meals of the nomads, and being soothed by the morin khuur and khoomei. This year a big-hit Japanese drama was filmed over two months at locations in Mongolia's Gobi Desert, including the Khongor Sand Dunes, the Bayanzag fossil site, the Yolyn Am valley, Ikh Gazriin Chuluu and Tsagaan Suvarga (white stupa), and its filming and grand story have drawn attention.

 
Each of these sightseeing spots is distinct and characteristic: the Khongor Sand Dunes, a wonderful spot where you can enjoy moving scenery on these great dunes said to be Mongolia's No. 1; the Yolyn Am region with wild sheep and goats, wolves, Gobi bears, vultures and wild asses; Tsagaan Suvarga (white stupa), where after heavy rain the torrent flowing below the stupas looks like a huge waterfall; and the Bayanzag area of the Gobi's red sandstone.
We are happy that several Shine Zuuch Travel guides worked hard as interpreters on that big-hit drama, joining the film crew from June to August 2023.
We are well prepared with a Gobi Desert tour introducing the hit drama's shooting and filming locations.
English-speaking guides and private drivers who helped the drama's filming crew will guide you to the filming locations, so you can feel safe and secure.
Please enjoy the local Mongolian filming locations while traveling along the road of the big-hit Japanese drama that grew up in Mongolia's Gobi Desert.
