Highlights of Ulaanbaatar
Mongolian Horses
Ulaanbaatar is the capital of Mongolia. Located in the Tuul River valley, it borders the Bogd Khan Uul National Park. Its former name was Ulanbator.
Previously Ulaanbator was a nomadic Buddhist centre. However during the 20th century, the Soviets took over. This led to a religious purge leading to a decline in buddhism. Instead Soviet-style buildings, avenues and monuments were constructed. Nowadays you can find museums in monasteries that survived the purge, and a general mix of traditional and modern.
Mongolia of course is famous for the legendary Genghis khan, the first great Mogul Emperor. Visit his monument in Genghis Khan Square where you can also see stalls selling Mongolian crafts and food. It is the city centre of Ulaanbaatar. Occasionally there are activities and exhibitions on display too.
Other places of interested include Gandantegchenling Monastery, and Migjid Janraisig Sum. The later is a temple hosting the largest indoor statue in the world. Should you wish to walk around it be sure to follow the protocol of only walking in a clockwise direction. Another beautiful temple to look out for is the Aryabal Meditation Temple with its panoramic views.
The National History Museum may also be worth a visit. Apart from following Mongolia’s history, you can see costumes through the ages.
If visiting Mongolia, one of the must do things is to visit the national parks. For example Gun Galuut Reserve hosts pine forests, whereas the Bogd Khan Reserve is a good hiking destination to visit the monastery ruins of Manzushir on the edge of the mountain range. Another national park includes the Terelj. However one of the major highlights is the Hustai National Park to see the famous Takhi, the Przewalski wild horses. Indeed many Mongolian traditions and sports involve horses.
Mongolia is also home to the Gobi desert, where horses are substituted for camels as the major form of transport.
