2. Chinggis Khaan Statue

   • Dadal, Mongolia
   • Sights › Monument

   There's an impressive Chinggis Khaan Statue in the Gurvan Nuur camp, built in 1962 to commemorate the 800th anniversary of Chinggis' birth. The monument was built at the height of the communist-era and after it was complete the president purged the folks who built it. Somehow the monument itself was allowed to stand.

3. Stone Marker

   • Dadal, Mongolia
   • Sights › Waterfront

   About 3.5km north of Dadal village is a collection of hills known as Deluun Boldog. On top of one of the hills is a Stone Marker, built in 1990 to commemorate the 750th anniversary of the writing of The Secret History of the Mongols. The inscription says that Chinggis Khaan was born here in 1162.

   Some historians may not be entirely convinced about the exact date or location of his birth, but it's a great place to come into the world: the scenery and hiking around the valleys and forests are superb.
