Outside of Ulaan Baatar there was a hill that was dedicated to unknown soliders and heros. It was built by the Russians. We walked up there one day. It was a long walk, which was made much longer by all of the car exhaust and broken sidewalks. When we got there, it was strange to see such a monument still standing. It was a very crowed place. Lenin is still very much revered in Mongolia.
The hill offers romantic views of the city.
Yes! I made it up all those stairs! The breeze felt wonderful.
This shows one of the mosiacs inside the memorial.
