Gandantegchinlen Monastery: See the 26m Golden Buddha Statue
★4.9(102)
The massive 26-meter Migjid Janraisig statue is the real reason to trek up here. Forget the crowds and hit the grounds around 9am when the monks start their morning chants; the atmosphere shifts completely. It takes about an hour to explore the main temples and spin the prayer wheels. Don't waste cash on expensive multi-day city tours just for this spot—a cheap local taxi gets you there fine. Leave the souvenir stalls alone.
Address: Ulaanbaatar, 16040
