Let's escape the heatwave to Mongolia (Independent travel: Terelj local tour)

Once you arrive in Ulaanbaatar, I recommend exploring the city center on your first day. Mongolia has a very cool climate, with a slight chill at night, making it a very pleasant place to travel. I stayed at Khongor Guest House, which also included a local tour. (This isn't an advertisement; you can use other accommodations or companies!) ✊️My tour itinerary - Genghis Khan Horse Statue (including museum) - Turtle Rock - Aryabal Monastery - Horseback Riding 😀 There were plenty of photo spots along the way, and I also had the chance to try out the falcon-top experience and sample local cuisine, making it a truly enjoyable experience. Prices vary slightly depending on the time of year and the number of people, but they were much more reasonable than those offered by domestic travel agencies. #SummerTravel

Chinggis Khaan Statue Complex

August 15, 2025 Our Mongolia road trip started and ended in Hailar. It was rainy both days, and we only saw brief sunny skies above the equestrian statue of Genghis Khan. Dragon and Phoenix New World, located on the side of the square, was a great place to hide from the rain. Once the rain subsided, Genghis Khan Square was surprisingly photogenic. Wild ducks, people, and butterflies adorned the clear waters, and the reflections on the curved bridges made the water as transparent as a mirror. The rainbow bridge over the water was also quite ingenious. Occasionally, you could even look up and see airplanes soaring in the sky. It was a perfect spot for tourists and residents alike to enjoy themselves!
