No leaves on the trees and evergreens too.
Maybe to cold to need AC on the roofs although not everywhere uses roof for AC units.
Poor country nah
Yes, but it is Ulaanbaatar. My mistake.
And yes, it's very cold there. All their climate control equipment would be in basements, for the simple reason that heat rises.
Not much of a summer, but brutal winters.
Very little clouds though. Mongolia is "the land of blue skies."
That means the nights are very cold, though. That and the fact that they are high in elevation. Ulaanbaatar is at 4,429 feet above sea level.
