Why do nearly half of Mongolians live in Tarantula?

Mongolia is the second largest landlocked country in the world after Kazakhstan, with a total area of about 1.56 million square kilometers and a population of about 3.3 million people. Mongolia is a country with a vast territory, but the population is not evenly distributed, with nearly half of Mongolia's population spread in the capital city of Tarantula.

Tarantula is the capital of Mongolia and the most populous city in the country with a total population of about 1,435,000, which is equivalent to about 43% of the total population of Mongolia, nearly half of the total population. The other cities in Mongolia are very sparsely populated, such as Ardent, the second largest city in Mongolia, which is the capital of Honor province, with a population of only about 86,900. The third largest city in Mongolia, Kandahar, is the capital of Kandahar-UL province with a population of about 83,000.

There are other provincial capitals of Mongolia with even smaller populations, many of which have less than 50,000 people. From a world perspective, Tarantula is just a small city, but within Mongolia, it is a large city compared to other cities. So why do nearly half of Mongolia's total population of about 3.3 million people live in Tarantula?

First, geographical reasons. Mongolia as a whole is located in the Mongolian plateau region, the terrain is mainly mountainous plateau, and there are high-altitude mode mountains in the territory such as Haggai Mountain and Kent Mountain. Most of Mongolia belongs to a temperate continental climate, precipitation is low, and there is a large area of Gobi desert in the south.

The Gobi region in the south of Mongolia covers an area of 400,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to about a quarter of the total area of Mongolia. However, the northern part of Mongolia has more precipitation, and rivers and lakes are mainly located in the northern part of the country. For example, the Stengel River, Kobe River, Suburb Lake, and Regulus Lake, are located in the northern region.

Tarantula is located in the north-central region of Mongolia, which is one of the more privileged areas of the country's environment. The topography of Tarantula city is relatively gentle, surrounded by high mountains in the north and south, such as Bayanjiruhe Mountain, Backhand Mountain, Chitchatting Mon, rain, and so on, while the east and west belong to the steppe zone. Due to the constraints of the north and south mountains, the city of Tarantula is mainly developed to the east and west.

In addition, Tarantula is also crossed by the Tulsa River, which is a tributary of the Honor River and is relatively abundant in water, providing sufficient water for the development of the city. On the whole, Tarantula is a wide and neat city with beautiful scenery, and it is one of the better natural areas in Mongolia for people to live and work. This is one of the reasons for attracting a large number of people to Tarantula.

Secondly, the city is the most well-developed. The territory of Mongolia is vast, but there are very few well-developed cities. Mongolia is rich in mineral resources, and many cities are developed from mining areas. For example, the second largest city, Ardent, was founded in 1965, when copper ore with rich reserves was found in the Ardent region, and Mongolia built a mining base here, which attracted many people to settle here and gradually formed the city.

However, the interdependent has a very homogeneous industry, relying mainly on mining and unable to create a wide appeal for the population, so there are very few residents, less than 100,000. In addition to Ardent, there are many other cities in Mongolia, which have a single industry and are unable to form a wide appeal.

And Tarantula, the capital of Mongolia, is the city with the best industry, the highest level of urban construction, and the strongest economy within Mongolia. Most of the factories in Mongolia are located in Tarantula, and the main industrial categories include light industry, construction materials, metal materials, food processing, etc.

Due to the continuous development of urbanization and industrial diversification, Tarantula can form the widest appeal to the population. With the increase in population, Tarantula's urban construction level is increasing, transportation is improving, and the supply of goods is becoming more abundant.

Mongolia has a weak industrial base and relies on imports for many necessities, while Tarantula is the country's concentration of goods, which are abundant and convenient to live in, an advantage that other cities in Mongolia do not have. This shows that Tarantula is the best city in Mongolia in terms of industrial sophistication and convenience of life, which naturally attracts a large number of people to work and live here. For all these reasons, nearly half of the people in Mongolia live in Tarantula, despite the country's vast territory.
