Chinggis Khan Statue is the world's largest equestrian statue of Genghis Khan. The 40-meter (130 ft) tall statue, made of 250 tonnes of stainless steel, was erected in 2008 to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the Mongol Empire. The statue stands on a 10-meter-high base surrounded by 36 columns representing the 36 kings of Mongolia, from Genghis Khan to Ligden Khan. It faces east, towards Genghis Khan's birthplace.
The highlight of the visit was getting a close-up photo of Chinggis Khan's statue at its horse head. The statue shows Chinggis Khan with a golden whip, representing the important event that predicted his rise to power and the founding of the Mongol Empire.
The museum features archaeological findings from the Bronze Age and artifacts related to the Xionglu Empire.
The famous giant boot, "gutal," is a significant symbol of Mongolian culture and history.
