Since March 8 was International Woman’s Day and Chingis Khan was a great admirer of women I popped out to the new Chingis Statue, in the Tuul River Valley about 30 miles west of Ulaan Baatar, not far from the Tonyukuk Türk Monuments. I had seen the statue numerous times when it was under construction but this is first time I actually drove over to the site. You can go inside and climb up into the statue itself but the 10,000 tögrög fee ($6.37) seemed a bit exhorbitant, so I passed on that.
