There are no local car rental companies, so if you want to take a taxi, just wave at the roadside. The price in the city is basically 6000-9000 Mongolian dollars.

The roads are very clean, the bathrooms are very clean, and smoking is not allowed in public places. The education level here is relatively high, and there are many international schools.

The river is clear, the herdsmen are wading through it, the vast sky and earth, day and night, so pure and simple, my heart longs for it! 🐎The large sculpture of Genghis Khan It is an hour's drive from the city. The statue is about 6 stories high and is said to be made of silver. For 20,000 yuan per person, you can take the elevator to the position of the horse's head. You can take pictures at the steps.
