About Ulaanbaatar


Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, is the single hub for trips to any destinations within Mongolia. Ulaanbaatar, where 1 million people out of Mongolia's 2.8 million population.
Ulaanbaatar is located on the bank of the Tuul River and surrounded by four sacred mountains with dense pine forests on the northern slopes and grassy steppes on the south. I show you some famous and my favorite place in Ulaanbaatar. 
Gandan Monastery:v Gandan is the largest and most significant monastery in Mongolia and one of Ulaanbaatar's most interesting sights. Built in the mid 19th century, it is the only monastery where Buddhist services. The Migjid Janraisig Temple is an important part of Gandan Monastery. The temple houses the majestic new gilded statue of Migjid Janraisig that 26 meter high 20 ton statue, decorated with jewels. 
Zaisan Hill: This tall landmark in front of the city offers the best views of Ulaanbaatar and the surrounding nature. The large monuments on the top of the hill were erected for the memory of soldiers died in the World War II. 
Sukhbaatar Square: This is the main square in the heart of Ulaanbaatar. A large statue of Sukhbaatar, the famous patriot characterizes the square, and the square is named after this historic figure. Such important buildings as the Parliament House, Stock Exchange, the Drama Theater and Cultural Palace are located surrounding the square.

I’m one of the 1 million people, I didn’t grow up here but I love my capital of Mongolia. There have many histories in here and many different living in here.
