Tsonjin Boldog
Rising 40 metres above the steppe on the banks of the Tuul River, the stainless-steel statue at Tsonjin Boldog is the world's largest equestrian monument, depicting Genghis Khan gazing east toward his Khentii homeland. An elevator carries visitors up through the horse's body to an observation deck on its head, while the circular base below houses a museum on Mongol history.
