Mausoleum of Genghis Khan, Genghis Khan Mausoleum in Ordos, China

The three-hall complex spans across the Bayin Changhu grasslands, featuring a golden-roofed central structure with ornate Mongolian architectural elements and decorative patterns.

Built in 1954 after multiple relocations, this cenotaph houses ceremonial objects and spiritual artifacts connected to the Mongol Empire founder from the 13th century.

The Darkhad people maintain their centuries-old tradition as designated guardians of the mausoleum, performing rituals and preserving Mongolian customs within its walls.

Located 40 kilometers from central Ordos, the mausoleum complex includes exhibition halls, cultural museums, and spaces for traditional Mongolian performances and ceremonies.

The main hall contains a 5-meter statue of Genghis Khan and four spirit tablets wrapped in yellow silk, representing the emperor and his three wives.
