Mausoleum of Genghis Khan — Attraction in Ordos City

Visiting this 5A rating China tourism attraction with a tour group, so I was unable to comment on the entrance fee.

The mausoleum has a tour guide to explain, but is in Chinese. Not sure if they have other language translator but that would be challenging. The attraction is serve as both a tourism facility as well as historical accurate landmark.

The story of Genghis Khan was explain in great detail even extend to his family’s history across the decade.

There is few main section within the mausoleum. Including the main building which prohibit taking photograph, contain authentic historical relic. A outdoor ritual stage, and a museum recording the making of this mausoleum.

Overall a very well maintained attraction focusing on the great Genghis...

Just a typical Chinese tourist trap in big style. First, obviously in the mausoleum there are no real relics of Genghis Khan, but only replicas of objects that would have belonged to him (thank you, cultural revolution). Second, the narrative of his history is strongly biased without providing a neutral and truthful overview of his empire. Third, the place is massive for no reason, given the small amount of things to see. You have to boil under the sun and move for kilometers for literally just look at a handful of stuff. Just go to a museum and you’ll learn and enjoy more stuff about Genghis Khan’s life. Two stars because it’s clean and well kept. Avoid, even if you end up in Ordos. China and Inner Mongolia have much...

This mausoleum for Genghis Khan chronicled his life from a child of a hero, his marriage and subsequent rise as the leader of the Mongolian tribe, conquering all of north Asia all the way into Europe.

Whilst you can take photos in the open grounds, photography and videos are banned inside the mausoleum. Also, as per Mongolian customs, this is not where he is buried so do not expect a tomb but rather artifacts...
