Amarbayasgalant Monastery
The Amarbayasgalant Monastery (the 'Monastery of Tranquil
Felicity') is one of the few Buddhist temple complexes in Mongolia
that wasn't completely destroyed by the Soviets in 1937. Located in
Mongolia's northern province of Silenge, the monastery is situated
in a beautiful (and bizarrely fertile) valley in the shadows of the
sheer cliffs of Mount Burenkhan. The monastery itself was built
between 1727 and 1736 and conforms to a Chinese style of
architecture, exhibiting wonderful symmetry. The plains surrounding
the monastery are strewn with cherry trees and, most interestingly,
Turkic-era graves of various geometric shapes dating back to the
3rd century.
