Zaisan Memorial
Lonely Planet review for Zaisan Memorial
The tall, thin landmark on top of the hill south of the city is the Zaisan Memorial. Built by the Russians to commemorate 'unknown soldiers and heroes' from various wars, it offers the best views of Ulaanbaatar and the surrounding hills. The enormous tank at the bottom of the hill - part of the Mongolia People's Tank Brigade - saw action against the Nazis during WWII.
