	Kharakhorum
		Kharakhorum, the 13th-century capital of the Mongol Empire, is a cultural highlight though only a few traces remain of this once great city.
		One of the more interesting parts of Kharakhorum were the Mongolian women sitting around, trying to sell bits and pieces of jewelry, and family Buddhist relicts to visitors.
		Erdene Zuu was supposedly constructed from ruins of Kharakhorum in 167th century where Tibetan Buddhism was proclaimed as the state religion of Mongolia.

		In Kharakhorum, the city gate, as well as the ger and other Mongolian buildings, always face the southeast toward the rising sun; the same direction as the symbol of the imperial city, the great tortoise, stands.
		Kharakhorum was, above all, the majestic resting place for the warrior emperors who had been busy conquering the world.
		The first asphalted roads were built; although in reality there’s only one, the four hundred kilometers that joins Kharakhorum with Ulan Bator, the two most influential cities; the former because of its historical importance and the latter because it is home to nearly a third of the country’s population.

		For me Kharakhorum is a most mysterious place, it has a feeling of surrealistic strength, wisdom as well as a fierce wildness that still permeates the land that was protected by the mighty Khans and their descendants for hundreds of years.
		Much of the stone blocks and columns of ancient Kharakhorum was used in the building of Erdene Zuu.
		As one sits here it is easy to imagine one or any of the great Khans returning from some expedition, sweeping across the steppes in full battle gear, or some long procession of Camels, horses, donkeys and wagons laden with exotic items from a distant Turkish empire.
