Kharhorin tour - Tovkhon-Orkhon water fall
Overview
In 1220 Chinggis Khan decided to build the capital city of his vast Mongolian Empire at KharHorin. Building was completed by his son, Ogedei Khan, after Chinggis death, but Kharhorin served as the capital for 40 years before Khubilai Khan moved ot to what is now Beijing. Following the move, and the subsequent collapse of the Mongolian Empire, KharHorin was abandoned. Whatever was left was used to help build the glorious Erdene-Zuu monastery in the 16-th century. Erdene zuu ( the Hundred Treasures ) was the first center of Lamaism in Mongolia.
