Karakorum and Erdenezuu
Founded by Genghis Khan in the Orhon Valley at the crossroads of the Silk Route in 1220, Karakorum existed for more than 140 years. It was from there that the Mongol Empire was governed for 32 years until Kublai Khan moved it to Beijing. The first Buddhist Monastery in Mongolia, Erdenezuu was initiated by Abtai Sain Khan on the ruins of Karakorum. In 1792, it housed 62 temples and 10,000 lamas; since 1990, it has become an active monastery again. The monastery now boasts religious objects and musical instruments, Buddhists paintings and many other artworks created by Mongolian craftsmen in the 16-18th centuries.
