Located in the south of Ulaanbaatar City, it is the only way to go to places such as the Zhaishan Monument. The river is very clear and there are many trees on both sides. In autumn, it does not feel like a deep forest in the Russian Far East.Ulaanbaatar · 78km from Erdene

Environment: The square is surrounded by green trees and fresh air. It is a good place for citizens to relax and a window to understand the lives of local people. 🌉 Activities: There are also music fountain performances in the evening, which are spectacular and shocking! ⏳ Time: It is open all day and you can play at will in all seasons. Genghis Khan Square can indeed be left by taking pictures of the sculptures in the square outside. There is only a small amusement park inside. Almost all the introductions have different degrees of paint loss, and there are no stone carvings. Once the paint is lost, the original text cannot be recognized, although this kind of park introduction is generally not nutritious.
