Introducing Temujin Khan's Camp

The Genghis Khan Camp is the largest Mongolian tribe in Hulunbuir, located on the east side of the Four Seasons Ski Resort in Dayong Mountain, Donghu District. According to legend, after Genghis Khan Temujin experienced the only defeat in his life, the "Battle of Thirteen Wings", the Hulunbuir grassland served as Temujin's rear base. He returned here to prepare his troops and eventually achieved his hegemony. Here we can visit the main camp of the once-mighty Mongolian army set up on chariots, learn the story of the hero Genghis Khan, and visit the long-standing Mongolian handicrafts and the most authentic Mongolian culture.

During the summer, Temujin Khan's camp remains cool and pleasant. In the morning, you can enjoy a stunning sunrise over the grasslands. During the day, you can admire the clear skies, the endless green fields, and the vast grasslands. At night, you can enjoy the low sky, the bright moon, and the stars.
