People lives in Gobi
People that live in (or near) the Gobi Desert are usually Mongolian or Chinese (mostly inner Mongolian). The population density is small—fewer than three persons per square mile (one per square km). In Inner Mongolia, the Chinese population has increased greatly since 1950. The main occupation of the inhabitants is nomadic cattle raising, though agriculture is predominant in regions where the Chinese are concentrated. The traditional living quarters of the Mongol nomads are felt yurts and orgers (types of tent), while the Chinese farmers live in clay homes built from crude brick.

Next in importance are the large-horned cattle. Horses make up only a small percentage of the total and, together with the large-horned cattle, are concentrated in the lusher semidesert of the southeast. A fair number of the livestock consists of two-humped Bactrian camels are still used for transportation in some areas.
