- Ingeborg56Oslo, Norway2,398 contributionsIt is very similar to other monestaries we have visited in other countries, and one has to buy tickets to enter the monestary if you are not a buddhist. The buddha statue is really nice.Written July 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ZimminaroundtheworldOkinawa Prefecture, Japan1,982 contributionsVisiting the Gandantegchinlen Monastery in Ulaanbaatar is a must. For me, it was an easy walk from the main square, about 20-30 minutes. There is an entrance fee to go inside the main hall, but it's worth it. The Migjid Janraisig Sum statue is spectacular. This statue is huge, it reminds me of statues I've seen in Japan. You can walk around the statue. It's really impressive and highly recommended.Written November 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- marstar0109Seoul, South Korea323 contributionsVisiting in late January with all the snow covering the surrounding mountains was just amazing. There was no one around. I mean NO ONE. It was so peacuful, so quite, the whole place felt like it nelonged to me. Not a single soul expect for me (and my guide). The suspended wooden bridge was a thrill haha Recommend to pay a visit!Written February 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- sarah_oh_tsaiAlberta, Canada5 contributionsOur partner took us to this monastery for a day trip and it was amazing. It's about one and half hour drive from the Ulan-bator city (the traffic is really bad in Ulanbator by the way) but was absolutely worth it. As I was told by my local friends, it was a complex of different monasteries, all of which got destroyed except one.
The surviving one is very beautiful monastery with a great view to the valley.
There's small local museum describing the flora and fauna of the mountain range upon which this monastery is nestled.
Also one can enjoy beautiful scenario along the route and see the nomads and their horses.Written December 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Come early, around 10am to see and hear the monks chanting, mesmerising and wonderful.Written October 25, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- dnalecizMoreno Valley, CA405 contributionsWandering around Ulaanbaatar in the cold, I stumbled upon this very beautiful white building called the Holy Trinity Church. The Holy Trinity Church is a Russian Orthodox church situated on Zhukova street, 55 - a, in Bayanzurkh District. Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. This Church is the only Russian Orthodox Church in Ulaanbaatar. It is built in the Cross-in-square Russian Revival Style of architectural buildings. Large windows and gold dome and roof are several of the outstanding features displayed by this church. This particular church can trace it roots back to the 1860 and over the years has seen numerous changes. On 22 March 1864 the first priest offered a religious service. This date is considered the beginning of the Holy Trinity parish of Russian Orthodox Church in Mongolia. The church lost it priest in 1867 and the facility was closed. The original Church building was demolished during the 1930s. In 1991 the Russian Orthodox Church was reestablished and the present day building was begun. Construction began in 2005 and lasted until 2009. I had the opportunity to meet one of the priest at this Church and was allowed to visit the interior of the church. Beautiful interior decorated with religious icons and frescos. Extremely peaceful and and solemn. The Holy Trinity Orthodox Church holds services on Saturday and Sunday. It is not a must visit site, but if you are in the area, I would recommend a visit.Written December 7, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TheMrWobblyEast Sussex, UK76 contributionsThe site itself is small though it is no doubt very important as it was quite busy on the Sunday that we went. Though people came and went going inside felt as if I had walked into somebody's house by mistake and they weren't happy about it.
If you go take a guide who might be more welcome than you on your own. Even with a guide this is no more than a 10 minute stop I would suggest.Written October 3, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
