Located on the west bank of the Khalkhin Gol, south-west of Nomonhan.

History
Small border outpost during the Battle of Khalkhin Gol / Nomonhan Incident. Postwar, a small town known as 'Sumber' was built here by the Russians postwar on the western bank of the Khalkhin Gol. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, and their withdrawal from Mongolia, the town was left abandoned to locals and nomands.

The settlement of Halgol was combined with Sumber into one town. Today, the town consists of only a few gutted Soviet era buildings, shacks and gerts. There is limited electricity in town, provided by a generator that runs from 7pm - midnight.

Sumber Museum (Khalkhin Gol Museum)
Open from 7pm - 12am, when there is generator power. The museum has an outdoor display area and the second floor is a museum about the battle.
