Aujourd'hui, on va à l'ancienne capitale Kharkhorin dans la vallée d'Orkhon (Héritage Unesco), où Genghis Khan a grandi.
Today, we go to the ancient capital city of Kharkhorin in the Orkhon valley (Unesco Heritage), Genghis Khan's hometown.

Taiwanese are hopeless shopping addicts.
Mais la rumeur est que le gouvernment songe à déménager la capitale ici, avec un UB si congestionné.
Nowadays, Kharkhorin is just a provincial town of 15000 people.
But rumour is that the government is thinking of moving the capital here, since UB is so congested.
Elle était sur la route de la Soie et abritait de nombreuses religions et cultures.
A representation of Kharkhorin in its glory days in the 13th century, before being destroyed by the Chinese Qing dynasty in the 14th century.
It was on the Silk Road and hosted many religions and cultures.
Quel dommage.
Nowadays, KK is mostly renowed for Erdene Zuu, the oldest surviving Tibetan Buddhist temple of Mongolia, founded in the 16th century, but also much destroyed by Staline in the 1930s.
What a shame.
Still very impressive.

Protector (this one female) guardian with 5 skulls like in Ladakh.

The temple is inside a 400m large square fortress with 108 stupas.
Très beau temple.
Outside the fortress, one of the four stone dragon-turtles of the 13th century which cornered Kharkhorin before. Only two remain now.
Beautiful temple.
