Darkhan (Template:Lang-mn, pronounced [ˈtarχəɴ]; "blacksmith") is the third-largest city in Mongolia and the capital of Darkhan-Uul Aimag (Darkhan-Uul Province). It has a population of 96,428 in 2013.
History
On October 17, 1961, the city of Darkhan was built with extensive economic assistance from the Comecon. As its name implies, the city was originally conceived to be a manufacturing site for Mongolia's northern territory. Polish specialists built a woodworking plant, brickworks and a lime factory in Darkhan. Hungarians built a meat factory, opened in 1974.
The city remains a mostly industrial centre and is the home of some 82% of Darkhan-Uul Province's population. As with most urban Mongols, some 86% of the city's population live in residential apartments, with the remaining population living in yurts (gers) on the outskirts of the city.
Geography and structures
With an elevation of 665 metres or 2,182 feet, Darkhan is the capital of the Darkhan-Uul Province. It is a city with notable Soviet influence, it can be seen from huge square buildings and pretty heavy Cyrillic usage.being surrounded by mountains and hills, and too having some tourist attractions like statues largely being Buddhist attractions. Some parts of the city have wooden houses.
Climate
Darkhan has a borderline humid continental climate (Dwb), close to the more typical subarctic climate (Dwc) of northern Mongolia, which is found in higher areas near the city, and only marginally wet enough to avoid qualifying as a semi-arid climate (BSk). These three climate types tend to overlap a good deal over the border regions of Mongolia, Russia and Kazakhstan. This area has extremely cold and dry winters; however the summers are warmer and more humid.
