Choibalsan’s proximity to China means that its market is well stocked. Purchase anything from fresh produce, dried dairy products and a local relish made of spring onion and garlic (great for livening up that mutton!) to saddles, Mongolian hats and boots. Note that the market closes on one day towards the end of each month – the date changes monthly.
