Sükhbaatar Square (Genghis Khan Square)

Sükhbaatar Square, formerly known as Genghis Khan Square, serves as the heart of Ulaanbaatar. Named in honor of Damdin Sükhbaatar, who declared Mongolia’s independence from China in 1921, the square is a focal point for both historical and political significance. Visitors can see statues of key figures, including Genghis Khan, Sükhbaatar, and Sanjaasürengiin Zorig, who played a pivotal role in the democratic revolution of 1990. Today, the square remains a central gathering place, offering a tangible link to Mongolia’s rich history and its ongoing journey towards democracy.
