Summary:
Mongolia, sandwiched between Russia and China, was part of the Soviet bloc for more than 60 years. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, it has been a free and democratic country. Ian Wright takes a train from Beijing, China, to Ulaan Baatar or "Red Hero", Mongolia's present day capital. He travels north-west to Karakorum then across the Gobi desert before returning to Ulaan Bataar in time for the annual Naadam festival.
