Noin-Ula (Noyon Uul) is a group of elite Xiongnu burial mounds in the hills north of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. First excavated by Pyotr Kozlov's expedition in 1924–1925, its tombs preserved woollen carpets, embroidered textiles, Chinese silks and lacquerware, which are among the best evidence for Xiongnu elite culture and its links with China, Central Asia and the Hellenistic world.
