The Five River Valley, also known as the Tavan Tolgoi, is a region located in southern Mongolia. It is named for the five rivers that converge in the area, which are the Khurkh, Zavkhan, Duut, Delger, and Dundgovi rivers.
The region is known for its natural beauty and is a popular destination for tourists interested in outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and horseback riding. The area is also home to several important historical and cultural sites, including ancient rock art, petroglyphs, and burial mounds.
In addition to its natural and cultural attractions, the Five River Valley is also an important economic region. It is home to one of the largest coal deposits in the world, and there are ongoing efforts to develop the area's mineral resources. The region is also important for agriculture, with many farmers growing crops such as wheat, corn, and potatoes.
