13th Century Complex
XIII зууны цогцолбор
A grassland theme camp recreating the Mongol Empire era, where you can visit shamanic camps, post stations, a scholars' hall and the khan's great tent, and try on armor, ride horses and shoot arrows in period costume.
The 13th Century National Park lies on the grassland about 100 kilometers east of Ulaanbaatar. It is made up of several ger camps that recreate post stations from the time of Genghis Khan, workshops of craftsmen, a shamanic camp, a scholars' academy and the khan's palace tent. Actors in period costume lead visitors through the camps, where you can try on armor, ride horses, shoot arrows, learn to write Mongolian script and eat traditional food. The complex is often combined with the Genghis Khan equestrian statue and Gorkhi-Terelj National Park in a single day trip, and you can also stay overnight in the camps. Admission is charged per camp, and the site is at its fullest in summer.
