I do not know of a Dongfang province in Mongolia (I used to work there). I
am assuming from the source and names that this refers to Inner Mongolia,
the province of China and NOT to Mongolia, the independent country.
Jack Soo <kyip@asia.com> replies:
DongFang (literally means eastern) is the Chinese source. We could not get
an English or Khalkha Mongol equivalent there [or elsewhere.
The capital of DongFang Province is Choybalsan
<http://www.infoplease.com/atlas/country/mongolia.html> [also spelled
Cojbalsan. The Administrative Division [which appears on the map is Dornod.

[Jack Soo edits ProMED-mail´s Chinese web pages & arranges translations to

not China. - Mod. JW
