Mongolia, riding the tallest equestrian statue


Perspective


After 3 days in Ulaanbaatar I thought there was nothing else of interest to see or do. I had visited museums, the beautiful and sprawling Buddhist temple complex, the Nadaam Festival and the Terelj National park, on the outskirts. I had seen gers, I had had a wonderful taste of local food and culture and a last morning to spare when someone mentioned that there is the largest statue of a man on a horse just outside the city.
