Sukhbaatar Square

Sukhbaatar Square previously known as Chinggis Square is the central square of Mongolia's capital Ulaanbaatar. The official name was changed in 2013 in honor of Genghis Khan, considered the founding father of Mongolia,[1] and then changed back in 2016. A large colonnade monument to Genghis Khan, as well as to Ogedei Khan, and Kublai Khan dominates the square's north side directly in front of the Saaral Ordon (Government Palace). The center of the square features an equestrian statue of Damdin Sukhbaatar, one of the leaders of Mongolia's 1921 revolution.
