Nomonhan is a small village in Inner Mongolia, near the border between Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, China, south of the city of Manzhouli.
In the summer of 1939, it was the location of the Nomonhan Incident, as it is known in Japan, or the Battle of Khalkhin Gol, as it is known in Russia and Mongolia.
