Parliament House, with Chingghis Khan’s imposing statue in the centre
Sukhbaatar Square in the Mongolian capital of Ulaan Baatar is named after the man who originally brought democracy and independence to the country back in the early 1920’s. It is the main square in the city. I remember it when there were no skyscrapers, and the vista was stunning and uniform. Today’s progress has rather ruined the effect. However, it is still a lovely place to visit, sit and hang out, as many Mongolians do. These are the views from around the Square.
