    Copyright Yutopian 2000

    Genghis Khan was a famous political and military figure in the Chinese history. With his unmatched talent, he built up his powerful empire reaching as far as Europe. According to the legend, Genghis Khan ordered that he should be buried here. In 1226, during his expedition to Xi Xia, Genghis Khan, died of natural causes. On their way to transport his body back to Mongolia, the wheels of the cart carrying the casket got stuck in the mud and they failed to proceed. His followers then remembered Genghis Khan's will and buried him here.

    The tomb of Genghis Khan is about 15 miles south east of Yijinhuoleqi, on the slope of Gandeer. The central palace is 26 meter tall with white walls, bright red gates, blue roofs, and gold tops. Inside, there is a statue of Genghis Khan, portraits of him and his belongings.
