Ulaanbaatar | Love after the sunset

Ulaanbaatar city center check-in recommendation😋😋 🔹Mongolian National History Museum: The museum is divided into three floors, 7 exhibition areas, right next to Genghis Khan Square, where you can understand the process of national historical development. 🔹Genghis Khan Square, originally named Sukhbaatar Square, is located in the center of Ulaanbaatar, and the National Palace to the north is the Mongolian government and parliament. When we went, we saw bodyguards escorting a few people out, and curiously asked the charter driver who it was. The guy told us calmly that it was the president... their travel agency often has meetings with the president to discuss the development of tourism... 🔹Gandantegchinlen Monastery: The largest Tibetan Buddhist temple in Mongolia, located in the city center, very close to our hotel, but too tired to go. 🔹Zaisan Hill: Actually it's just a small hill, you can overlook the city's night view from the top. The monument on the top of the hill was built to commemorate the Soviet Red Army soldiers who sacrificed during the Second World War. The exquisite reliefs and patterns of porcelain tile mosaics really have Soviet characteristics. This is also the first time to feel the influence of the "Soviet Union" in this country up close. 🔹Shopping: gogo cashmere shop (not as many styles as imagined); The stare department store, a local department store, where you can buy all kinds of souvenirs, leather bags are really cheap!! There are also 🐺 skins for sale, but you can't bring them back to the country. Recommendations for playing around Ulaanbaatar city: 🏔️Genghis Khan Equestrian Statue: The view of the prairie is spectacular~ You can rent Mongolian robes for photos + eagle photos. 🏔️Terelj National Park: Worthy of the name "Mongolian" Little Switzerland! The mountains are full of forests🌲, primitive natural scenery. Mongolian yurt camps are dotted on the hillside, quite European style. Cattle and sheep🐑 can be seen everywhere, horse-riding herdsmen🐎, and we also saw a dazed yak. The driver took us to a small bridge where we could go down to the Terelj River. The rare clear stream, passing through the forest, the scenery is great! The accommodation booked a pretty good Mongolian yurt camp, with a separate bathroom, slightly expensive. But it feels much better than the traditional stove-burning Mongolian yurt. 🏔️Grassland herders' homes: I have also been to the Mongolian yurt herders' homes in the scenic area in Inner Mongolia. Compared with them, 🇲🇳Mongolia's are more traditional, and Mongolian costumes are also different from those in Inner Mongolia, probably because the tribes are different. There will be herdsmen performing throat singing, horse-head fiddles, and re-enacting the herders' migration. All the luggage and Mongolian yurts are loaded on the Lele car, and the mighty horse and camel team🐫 start to migrate, the scene is spectacular. Before departure, the old mother will sprinkle wine to pray for blessings, praying for peace. It is said that there is also a small Nadam performance, but we didn't watch it because we were in a hurry. 🏔️Real egg shooting: I never thought I could experience it in Mongolia, and the price doesn't seem to be expensive. It's really cool! My friend actually hit the target 300 meters away!!! The two boys only hit once haha. The above are the suggestions for playing in Ulaanbaatar!
