Ulaanbaatar is the capital city of Mongolia and the most populous city in the nation with just under 2 million inhabitants. Ulaanbaatar is also the coldest capital city in the world as measured by average temperature.

As the cultural and business center of Mongolia and a hub connecting the Trans-Siberian Railway with the Chinese rail system, Ulaanbaatar has become a thriving urban center in one of the most remote locations in the world. Located in a river valley surrounded by mountains that trap smog, the city is also the most polluted capital city in the world during the winter months.

During the decades of Communist domination that ended in 1992, all religions were suppressed, but since that time there has been a general revival of faith. 52% of the people of Ulaanbaatar identify as Mahayana Buddhist. Of the remaining, 40% are non-religious, 5.4% are Muslim, 4.2% hold to folk religion, and 2.2% are Christian. The Christian population includes Protestants, Catholics, Orthodox Christians, and Mormons.
