Camps in the 13th Century National Park

In the 13th Century Park, u may find the various camp at different site. Unfortunately, there are no sign board and it’s not easy for a foreigners to find these camps without a guide unless u can recognise the mountains in the country side.

U can find these camps in the 13th Century Park:

i) Craftsmen Camp – Mongolian blacksmiths and the craftsmen work were quite popular in the 13th Century. In the craftsmen camp, you will see the craftsmen artwork such as household utensils, women’s ornaments, jewelry, arms and tools etc.

ii) Educational Camp – U will be able to know something about the unique mongolian culture & literacy. Tourists are offered to practise Mongolian calligraphy and the Mongolian scripts.

iii) Herders Camp – U can see the methods of producing dairy products, horse training and you may experience riding horse, yak and camel as an experience of the 13th Century.

iv) Shaman camp – The Shamans of Mongolians from different clans will usually gather around fireplace under one common area and perform a ritual to worship together for one common deed.  Sometimes, several kinds of worshipping will be organised for visitors.

v) King Palace – You will get to know about the state affairs of 13th Century Mongols such as declaring the laws by carrying a great forum outside the camp. There will also be some reception programs offered to visitors such as a musical presentation with their traditional music instruments. U may also enjoy the King’s Great Feast in this camp.

Back to 13th Century National ParK

After the Chinggis Khan Statue Complex, we proceed to the first stop of the 13th Century Park. – The Relay Station

Have u ever wonder how would be the Chinggis Khan Ruling be? How does it like to be back to 13th Century? I think that’s part of the reasons that this 13th Century Park was built to make visitors to experience the 13th Century Ruling…

After the Chinggis Khan Complex, my friend and I proceed to the first stop of the 13th Century National Park – The Relay station

How to get there? It is quite difficult for me to explain to you how to get there as Mongolia country side has no signboard or landmark. To the mongolian, every mountain is different but to the foreigners, it will be difficult to differentiate it. It is not easy to travel around the country side of Mongolia. In addition to that, if u do not know mongolian language, that will be quite difficult to ask for direction. Anyway, I will suggest u to arrange a ground tour in UB.

You should be able to see two guards riding a horse at the entrance of The Relay station. Some of the pictures below were taken inside the Relay station.

U may see some traditional warrior costumes in the relay camp, some symbolic of the flag of the Prime Minister and Defense minister.

The traditional costume are quite heavy and the 3 teenage children are trying to pose for the best shot.Poor boys!(3rd from Last pictures)   Do u think my friend, Sarmed looks like Chinggis Khan?
