A
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.

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.

Texas Pub
Roy Rogers could not have designed a better restaurant. This Texan-themed joint, just south of the Darkhan Hotel in the new town, has an English-language menu with Hungarian goulash, steaks, salads and pasta plus Chinggis beer on tap.

Seated Buddha
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.

Asian Kitchen
Fast-food place reminiscent of Ulaanbaatar's Berlin restaurant. It's run by a Malaysian and serves up good, non-Mongolian curries.
