Gandantegchinlen Monastery

Gandan Temple is a Tibetan Buddhist temple in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Established in 1838, it is also the largest temple in Mongolia. It is also the most incense temple in Mongolia.

Gandan Temple is a long-standing temple, but also a very important protection building, the temple can find a lot of good things, is also a better platform, understand the Buddhist culture in Mongolian country a change, feel quite a lot.

Gandan Temple is located in the center of Ulaanbaatar. It is the largest temple in Mongolia. The most impressive is the "Zhang Ranze Buddha". The Buddha statue was used in 1996. It is26.5 meters tall and uses 19 tons of copper and 75,926 5 cm square gold pieces. It is set with a large number of 2,286 gems. The Buddha statue holds a 50-meter-long Hada custom made from India, containing 5 complete yurts and more than 20 tons of medicinal materials. The majestic and magnificent "Zhang Ranze Buddha" is known as the national treasure of Mongolia. When you arrive in Mongolia, you must see this Buddha, otherwise you will be white. Gandan Temple does not charge tickets, but the Buddha statue takes an extra fee to take pictures. I provided a butter lamp at the time, so I took it and hoped that the person would be blessed.

Gandan Lama can be seen everywhere, along the central line of the road is a long passage, which can be seen as a group of pigeons and local people living in comfort. But in addition to these, there are simple yurts around, no street lights at night and drunken people. It is not very safe. It is suggested to end the nearby activities after 9 p.m. and go out from the shanty area on the right side of Gandan Temple to another road with good Chinese restaurants and Indian food. The price is reasonable and the taste is good. On the way there is another small temple at the road junction, which is often visited by local people. Gandan Temple has a large number of pilgrims burning incense every morning, basically ten. It broke up at one o'clock.

This is the Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, worth a visit!
