Observe a towering monument dedicated to one of history's most famous conquerors at Genghis Khan Statue Complex. Built in 2008, the 40 m (130 ft) tall statue symbolically points to the east, towards Genghis Khan's birthplace. The entire compound lies surrounded by traditional yurts, recreating the 13th-century ambience of the Mongol tribes. As you approach the site, examine the steel equestrian statue standing on top of a visitor center with 36 columns. While inside, visit the museum that exhibits archaeological cultures of Mongolia, and afterwards walk to the statue's head for a panoramic view. See Genghis Khan Statue Complex and all Ulaanbaatar has to offer by arranging your trip with our Ulaanbaatar trip planning website.

It's a great place for foreigner tourists to experience the culture and traditions, and learn history of Mongolia and Mongol Empire. It's clean, spacious and has models of giant whip and giant shoe. In the basement, there are many gift shops to buy souvenirs and other Mongolian cultural items. In another stall, we can try Mongolian traditional clothes and pose for photos. There are 1-2 restaurants, and coffee shops. But it takes good time to get our orders. I like the museum. It's huge and spectacular. We can take an escalator and get on the nape of the horse. Though the views from there are better, going up through dark narrow staircases was like squeezing myself through the crevices of cliffs. If there are many people lined up there, I don't recommend yourself joining. You'll thank me on this. Instead go below complex's parking area for distant views of the shiny stainless equestrian statue. You can try archery and be like a Mongol warrior horde or take few photos holding vultures with the statue in the background.

Wow! What fun to visit this place on his birthday! 15,000T entry and we enjoyed free fermeted yaks milk tea and 'donuts' as well as live music and dancing. Nice bar and small shops with souvenirs, plus a coffee shop. Impressive views from the elevator and climb up to the sit on the "saddle" with him!
