A small white temple and a tall Buddha statue on the hill behind Zanabazar Museum. The summit overlooks Tsetserleg's rooftops and the Tamir Valley.
Galdan Zuu Temple stands on the hillside behind the Zanabazar Museum. It is a small white temple with a towering Buddha statue beside it, set against the cliffs of the Bulgan Uul and visible from many parts of town. Climb the steps and dirt path from the museum for about 15 to 20 minutes. From the terrace you can look down on Tsetserleg's colorful rooftops and the grassland valleys beyond, and the light is best in the evening. The temple is usually quiet, and you may see locals making circuits of prayer and tying khadags. Entry is free. The mountain path is gravelly, so wear shoes with good grip.
