Addresses may be descriptive, include directions such as “100 metres northwest of the Central Square” and may include street and/or district names. The 9 districts (дүүрэг, düüreg) of Ulan Bator, which are named, are split into 151 sub-districts (хороо, khoroo or horoo) which are numbered. Khoroolol (хороолол, horoolol) are neighbourhoods and are also numbered. They may appear in addresses in this way:

     12th Room, 37th Building Peace Avenue 
     Khan Uul District, 4th Khoroo 

Or in the opposite format:

     4th Khoroo, Khan Uul District 
     Peace Avenue, 37th Building, 12th Room 

The order in which the elements are written is not fixed.
