Erdene Zuu Monastery

Incredible place. So sad that this is one of the last remnants of the biggest empire that has ever faced Earth. Wander around these monuments and temples and you won’t be disappointed. Not a lot of signs or options for the lonely western wanderer but an interesting glimpse into a world long forgotten.

This was Playboi Carti's inspiration for Magnolia, wokeuplikethis*, and his new album Whole Lotta Red. Especially Magnolia. Cause duh they named the Country after his song.

The oldest Buddhist monastery in Mongolia has survived centuries of invasions, political shifts, and religious purges. One particular area of historic destruction by the Communists is cordoned off, but its foundations are still visible. There are plans to rebuild, but work has yet to begin. Erdene Zuu, after so many centuries of sheer will to survive, will get that work done. Part of the Orkhon Valley Cultural Landscape World Heritage Site, the monastery is in central Mongolia, about a quarter mile northeast of the center of Kharkhorin.

If you are visiting Mongolia this can be the first place you see to boost up the viewing experience. This place is called the energy center second to none.

Very poor service, has to be improved especially in regards of touring and exploring
