Bayanzag / Red Flaming cliff, National Park

Red sandstone cliffs and canyons, Flaming Cliffs is one of the most famous paleontological sites in the world.

5 km to the north of Flaming Cliffs is a Saxual tree grove known as Bayanzag. This tree tolerates dryness and droughts of the Gobi desert, sometimes used as an emergency fodder for camels or as a fuel by the desert nomads. The tree grows 1.5 m up to 4 m in height.

The tree prevents the Gobi desert soil from wind erosion and reduces the expansion of desert sands.
