To most of the world, Genghis Khan is known as a brutal and savage dictator, whose campaigns of terror and wholesale massacre of civilian populations may have resulted in the deaths of up to forty million people. But to the people of Mongolia, he is revered as a national hero, ruling over the largest contiguous empire in history and establishing the Mongols as a political and cultural force. Despite being represented on dozens of statues and appearing on everything from bottles of liquor to cigarette packets, it seems that the public’s appetite for more has not yet waned. In 2008, a giant statue of Khan riding a horse was erected fifty-four kilometers from the capital Ulaanbaatar. At forty meters high, it is the world’s largest equestrian statue and stands more than double the height of the previous record holder in Uruguay. Made from two hundred and fifty tons of stainless steel, it reputedly cost $4.1 million to construct. At the base of the statue, visitors can visit an archaeological museum, try on traditional Mongolian costumes, tour the numerous portraits of the Khan lineage, or try the cuisine at the restaurant on the second floor before taking an elevator to to the top of the horse’s head, where they are greeted with a panoramic view over the surrounding landscape. The foundation building, designed to look like European Gothic style architecture, symbolizes that Genghis Khan is standing on Europe after his successful military campaigns, and he is returning East, hi...

The Capital of Mongolia Ulaanbaatar is the aimag) and has a population of more than 1.3 million, which is nearly half of the national population. Ulaanbaatar is located in the north-central part of Mongolia and sits at an altitude of about 4,300 ft within the valley of the Tuul River. The city is Mongolia’s financial, industrial, and cultural center, and is linked to both the Chinese rail system and the Trans-Siberian Railway. Name and Etymology The city has had various names throughout its history. Known as Ikh Khuree prior to 1911, the city was renamed Niislel Khuree after Mongolia gained independence in 1911. When the Mongolian People's Republic was formed in 1924, the city was renamed again as Ulaanbaatar and named the capital. History of Ulaanbaatar Founded as a nomadic Buddhist monastic in 1639, Ulaanbaatar was initially situated at Lake Shireet Tsagaan nuur, approximately 143 miles southwest of its current site and 47 miles east of Karakorum. Initially named Orgoo, Mongol nobles intended the town to be the seat of Ondor Gegeen Zanabazar. Zanzibar returned from Tibet in 1651 and established seven monastic departments ( aimags) in Mongolia, and eventually another four. As a nomadic monastic, the town moved from one place to another along the Tuul, Orkhon, and Selenge rivers.
