The largest Buddhist monastery in Mongolia, formally named "Ganden Tegchinlen" (meaning "Great Place of Complete Joy"). Its history dates back to 1809 when the first prayer hall was built.

The surrounding area developed into residential and commercial districts, making it one of the most vibrant locales in Mongolia.

Built in 1903 for Mongolia's Eighth Jebtsundamba Khutuktu, this winter palace features Chinese-inspired temple architecture with multilingual inscriptions (Tibetan, Mongolian, Manchu, Chinese). Its collection includes ancient thangkas, Buddhist statues, and ritual artifacts—all over 100 years old.

-
Entering: Step in with your left foot first, then move to the left side. The center is for elders; the right side for the host.
-
Hospitality: Accept all offerings (e.g., milk tea, dairy products like dried cheese and clotted cream) respectfully.
-
Children: Do not touch a child’s head, as it is traditionally believed to harm their well-being.
