Our first morning in Ulaanbaatar.

The capital of Mongolia is Ulaanbaatar and has a population of just over 1.5 million people. The country has only 3.6 million inhabitants.

First stop on morning one was a Buddhist temple. It’s about 250 years old with lots of history thru the years. it barely survived thru the communist era as the Stalin regime1940s thru 1950s) wanted to get rid of organized religion. Lots of the relics were hidden for years. Some were stolen, destroyed and or melted down for the gold.
