Kharkhorin, Mongolia Tuesday, August 3, 2010
All that remains of the ancient glory of Kharkhorin is Erdene Zuu Monastery. We stopped and admired the place before setting out on the final rough stretch of road toward Tsetserleg.
Erdene Zuu dates from the late 1500's. My favorite part was the stupas which adorn the wall which surrounds the place. The grounds themselves are mostly empty due to the destruction of the Stalinist Era.
