Archway is a memorial used by ancient people to express loyalty, filial piety and righteousness. In ancient times, it was called poke, and later it was introduced into the palace. It is a stone archway worthy of emperors in the Yuan Dynasty. Mongols believe that there are gods in the sky and they are the supreme gods. There are sun, moon and clouds in the sky, and there are flowers, birds, fish and insects in the sky, which embodies the idea of worshipping heaven and respecting the earth and the most primitive nature worship.
Genghis Khan's tent: Each tent is made of 20 tons of iron. It looks like an ancient combat helmet, indestructible. The military tent consists of five iron bars, with Genghis Khan's Zhong Jun tent in the center. People are here to discuss military plans with Genghis Khan, and the four surrounding ministers are the residence of Genghis Khan's son. Genghis Khan has four sons, the eldest son Shu Chi, the second son Chahetai, the third son Wokuotai and the youngest son Tuo Lei.

The whole eagle tent is made of bluestone of 500 stands, and the eagle head of 100 stands weighs 250 tons. This is by far the single largest eagle sculpture.
Genghis Khan's tent: In the Yuan Dynasty, the tent was the main residence of the Mongols. At that time, the large-scale palace tents used by nobles were called "Woer" and "Woluduo", which meant "palace account", "palace account" and "palace account".

Sacrifice to Heaven: It is the only altar in the world that integrates Shamanism, Taoism and Buddhism. In early Mongolia, Mongolians believed in "immortality", that is, "Shamanism", which originated from the worship of simplicity and nature by Mongolian ancestors. They think that heaven is the father and the earth is the mother, so they call heaven the supreme god who rules all things. The whole building of the altar is 9.9 meters high, equipped with a heaven and earth incense burner. We can invite a stick of incense here, thank the altar for the good weather and the nourishment of the altar land, and make our own wishes in the middle.
