Hangai [Mountains] - Hangai

Japanese: ハンガイ[山脈] - ハンガイ

A mountain range that runs from northwest to southeast through the western part of Mongolia. Its average elevation is 3,000m. Its highest peak, Mount Otgon Tengri (3,905m), rises to the east of Ulyastai. The plateau formed by this range is rich in pastureland, but the area around the upper reaches of the Orkhon River in the east is particularly good, and was also a key transportation point, providing bases for nomadic nations such as the Turks, Uighurs, and Mongols.

モンゴルの西部を北西から南東に走る山脈。平均標高は3000m。最高峰はオトゴン・テングリ山（3905m）で，ウリヤスタイ東方にそびえる。この山脈の形成する高原一帯は有数の牧草地をなすが，東部のオルホン川上流域一帯はとくにすぐれ，また交通の要地でもあったので，突厥(とっくつ)，ウイグル，モンゴルなどの遊牧国家の根拠地が置かれた。
