Chinggis Khan's Camp

About

A rocky hilltop with a panoramic view of the endless Transbaikalian steppes. It is named after the famous Mongolian conqueror Genghis Khan, who once set up his army here. It is said that standing in this spot, he surveyed his vast army. The plateau features several interesting spots. The Stone Garden is a collection of large boulders and rocks, seemingly arranged in a geometric pattern. The Cosmodrome, as the locals call it, is an extensive area paved with flat stones resembling slabs, giving the impression of the remnants of some artificial structure. The Slab Tombs are Bronze Age burials, appearing as rectangular enclosures made of tall, flat stones.
