- 2013, Tom Doig, “On the Mission”, in Mörön to Mörön: Two men, two bikes, one Mongolian misadventure, Allen & Unwin, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 39:
- Mörön was the administrative capital of Khövsgöl aimag, sure — but why here? There was no obvious difference between this dusty, treeless plain and the 200 kilometres or so of dusty, treeless plain we'd just driven through. I looked out for the wide, flowing river that would justify the town’s name but I couldn’t see anything.
- [2019 March 8, “Celebrate Mongolia's winter on an ancient, frozen lake”, in National Geographic[2], archived from the original on 08 March 2021, Travel[3]:
- Save time by catching a flight from Ulaanbaatar to Khovsgol's provincial capital, Murun. If you’re feeling adventurous, get on a local bus from Ulaanbaatar to Murun. During the 12 hours, you’ll see the vast central Mongolian countryside.]
