Default Mongolia Attractions

Ulaanbaatar
Ulaanbaatar is situated on the bank of the Tuul River and spreads from east to west along a large wide valley. The city is surrounded by the four mountains: Bogd Khan, Songino Khairkhan, Chingeltei and Bayanzurkh, part of the beautiful and pristine Khan Khentii mountain range. The combination of these pine covered mountains, wide boulevards, vast public squares and parks give the city a feeling of spaciousness, while the Ger communities, Buddhist temples, and bustling marketplaces give it a rustic charm. Nowhere in the world is there a city of such rich contrasts. In the uniqueness which is Ulaanbaatar, ancient nomadic culture peacefully coexists with the dynamic changes of modern society.

Gandan Monastery
Gandan is the largest and most important monastery of Mongolia, with over 400 monks. Inside is a statue of Magjid Janraisig (the lord who looks in every direction). It is about 25 meters tall and is covered by a huge number of precious stones.

Bogd Khan Palace Museum
Most of the temples and monasteries, along with their belongings, were destroyed during the Stalinist purges of the late 1930s, the Winter Palace of Bogd Khan (or Bogd Khan Palace Museum now) was spared in good condition. Build between 1893 and 1903, the Winter Palace of Bogdo Khan was the home of Mongolia's last king Javzan Damba Hutagt VIII for 20 years.

Six temples on the grounds of the Winter Palace contain collections of gifts given the Bogd Khan, with hundreds of artifacts, artwork and many other unique relics, including an extraordinary array of stuffed animals.
