- 2002, Claire Sermier, “Central Aimags”, in Helen Loveday, transl., Mongolia: Empire of the Steppes[1], Airphoto International Ltd., →ISBN, →OCLC, page 149:
- Töv Aimag (Central Province) surrounds the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar, which itself maintains the status of an autonomous municipality. […] Its capital is Zuunmod, sometimes simply referred to as ‘Töv Aimag’. […]
The small town of Zuunmod, which means ‘hundred trees’, is 43 kilometres south of Ulaanbaatar and easily visited on a day trip. Zuunmod has two museums, a recently-built monastery, and retains a laid back atmosphere that is a welcome relief to Ulaanbaatar.
