Khangai Mountains
The second highest second Mountain Range in Magnolia is Khangai. The word Khangai is composed of the verb "Khanga-" which means "provide, supply with necessities" and the suffix "-ai". Khangai has become a generally used term by Mongolians to describe the entire lush forest-steppe area to the north as opposed to the southern desert, Gobi. This ancient name denotes the sacredness of the mountain and the special place it holds in the hearts of those who depend on it. Two provinces of Mongolia are named after the Khangai Mountains and are Arkhangai (Northern Khangai) and Ovorkhangai (Southern Khangai). The mild climate area where the two provinces meet (eastern Khangai) is known as the cradle of Mongolian and nomadic civilization.
