Kharaagiin Khiid
Probably the most interesting sight in Darkhan is this monastery. Housed in a pretty log cabin in the old town, it has a host of protector deities and a tree encased in blue khatag (silk scarves). Until 1989 the building served as an elementary school.

Morin Khuur Statue
One of two new monuments across the road from each other, near the roundabout between the new and old towns. Both are congregating points for locals who hang out here at sunset.

Museum of Darkhan-Uul
This museum contains a well-laid-out collection of archaeological findings, traditional clothing, religious artefacts and a few obligatory stuffed animals. Its most valued piece is the original painting of Lenin meeting Sükhbaatar, a classic work of myth-making, painted by B Tsultem in 1953. The museum is upstairs in a building on the northern side of the shopping square, across from the minibus and taxi stand.
