Chinggis Khan Equestrian Statue, Mongolia
Chinggis Khan who people know as Genghis Khan remains one of history's most notorious conquerors so people built a 131-foot-high (40m) glistening silver statue to honor him. The statue which shows him riding an enormous horse was built in 2008 using stainless steel to show his view of the vast Mongolian steppes from Tuv Province which lies 34 miles (54km) from Ulaanbaatar. The statue attracts fewer visitors because its location exists far away from the main tourist areas.
