Danzandarjaa Khiid
The history of this monastery is unclear, but the original (Möröngiin Khuree) was built around 1890 and was home to 2000 monks. It was rebuilt and reopened in June 1990, and now has 40 monks of all ages. It's a charming place, designed in the shape of a concrete ger, and contains a great collection of thangka. The monastery is just back from the main road, on the way to the airport. Visitors are always welcome.

Museum
Given the variety of wildlife in the aimag, stuffed animals are, not surprisingly, the main feature of the Museum . There's a large tusk from a woolly mammoth, but you won't see one of those in the flesh - they haven't inhabited this region for more than 40,000 years. Photographic exhibits of the Tsaatan people are also intriguing. The museum is housed inside the local Drama Theatre on the town square.
