The world's only temple of Genghis Khan!

⛰【Travel Tips】 📍Detailed address: Located at the summit of Han Mountain in Ulanhot City. 🚗Transportation strategy: Self-driving tour 🕙Opening hours: 8:30~16:30 (all year round) 💰Ticket price: Free 🌟Highlights: 1. The architectural style of the Genghis Khan Temple: Integrates the architectural characteristics of the Mongolian, Tibetan, and Han ethnic groups into one, presenting a 'mountain' shape, facing south from the north, with a round top and a square bottom, where the main hall is connected to the side halls. The corridor uses green glazed tiles inlaid and paved, and additionally, there are three small spires at the top of the corridor, which are quite unique! 2. Genghis Khan, with a full-body gilded bronze statue sitting in the center, is lifelike and solemn. On either side are Genghis Khan's four sons and Yuan dynasty weapons. 3. The side halls mainly use murals on the walls to display the life stories and achievements of Genghis Khan. ❤Recommended reason: 1. Inside Genghis Khan Park, there is the world's only temple dedicated to Genghis Khan. 2. Genghis Khan, named 'Borjigin Temüjin', unified Mongolia, conquered territories, annihilated the Tatar tribes, established the Mongol Empire, ascended as the 'Great Khan of the Mongols', and then invaded the Western Xia, led the army to attack the Jin dynasty, captured Beijing, and finally passed away at Liupan Mountain. He is posthumously known as 'Taizu' and honored with the title 'Holy Martial Emperor'. He is one of the greatest politicians and military strategists in the world! 📌Little Tips: Whether it's from the unique architectural style or understanding the life story of Genghis Khan, savoring the history and culture here is well worth the visit!
