The Flaming Cliffs site, also known as Bayanzag, sometimes Bain-Dzak. (Mongolian: Баянзаг rich in saxaul), with the alternative Mongolian name of Mongolian: Улаан Эрэг (red cliffs), is a region of the Gobi Desert in the Ömnögovi Province of Mongolia, in which important fossil finds have been made. It was given this name by American paleontologist Roy Chapman Andrews, who visited in the 1920s. The area is most famous for yielding the first discovery of dinosaur eggs. Other finds in the area...

There is just the cliff where dinosaur eggs were first found in 1920s followed by a few excavation expeditions to uncover more dinosaur fossils. Stayed here for the night in this vast desert with an exactly feeling of being in the middle of nowhere. Dramatic cloud make the place look really out of this world. Amazing spot for sunset photography. But wind was extremely strong, so got to hold down that tripod with weights.

This Mongolian landmark is historical for so many reasons but is known for the dinosaurs found beneath the soil. The fossils keep appearing and this open space is something you can explore and clamber around as you look for your own fossils. Be careful what you take as often immigration will confiscate it at the border. Please be kind to the landscape and don't leave your litter and garbage around.
