There are 4 types of villaags in Horonbeil, north-eastern Mongolia, namely those of hunting Orochons, nomadic Mongolians, cultivating Russians, and farming Chinese. They express the influence of natural environment, especially that of humidity and its vast area upon the inhabitants' primitive mode of living. The application of mechanical energy proves another possibility of mining and urban life, which is shown in Zabaikalia, another part of Northeastern Mongolia.
