Great Khan Palace Scenic Area
The Great Khan Palace Scenic Area is located in the first grassland in northern Beijing. The northern grassland is located in the north of Beijing, bordering Huairou, 280 kilometers away from Beijing. It is the closest grassland tourist area to Beijing. The average temperature in summer is 17.5 degrees. It has been known as a summer resort since ancient times. The total area of the scenic area is 2 million square meters. The place where it is located was called Liangxing during the Yuan Dynasty. In March 1212 AD (the seventh year of the reign of Emperor Taizu of Mongolia), Genghis Khan Temujin led his army to defeat the three states of Huanchang and Fu, and occupied the Liangxing and Tanshan areas. In 1215 AD, Genghis Khan camped here to escape the summer heat when he personally conquered the south of the desert, and commanded the Mongolian war against the Jin Dynasty. The scenic area will rely on its own historical and cultural background advantages and regional advantages, with the theme of tracing historical culture and getting close to nature, advocating that the society regain the precious historical culture of the Yuan Dynasty.
Great Burkhan Khaldun Mountain and its surrounding sacred landscape
The site is located in the middle of the Kent Mountains in northeastern Mongolia, where the vast Central Asian steppes meet the Siberian taiga. Burkhan Khaldun is associated with the worship of sacred mountains, rivers, and oboos (shamanic heaps), with rituals that blend ancient shamanic and Buddhist practices. The site is also believed to be the birthplace and burial place of Genghis Khan. It bears witness to his efforts to establish mountain worship as an essential part of the unification of the Mongolian people.
Orkhon Valley Cultural Landscape
The 121,967-hectare Orkhon Valley Cultural Landscape encompasses vast pastoral areas on both sides of the Orkhon River and includes numerous archaeological remains dating back to the 6th century. The site also includes Karakorum, the 13th and 14th century capital of Genghis Khan's vast empire. Overall, the remains at the site reflect the symbiotic relationship between nomadic, pastoral societies and their administrative and religious centers, and the importance of the Orkhon Valley in the history of Central Asia. Mongol nomadic herders still graze their livestock on the steppes.
Itchan Kala
Ichan Kala is the inner city of the old Khiva oasis (protected by a brick wall about 10 meters high), and was the last resting place for caravans before crossing the desert to Iran. Although few very ancient remains now remain, it is a coherent and well-preserved Central Asian Muslim architecture in a unique style. There are several outstanding buildings here, such as the Juma Mosque, mausoleums and madrasas, as well as two magnificent palaces built by the Alaquli Khan in the early 19th century.
