Genghis Khan's Horse-Tying Post

Genghis Khan's Horse-Tying Post: Located within the territory of Chagan Nur Town, it is said that during his military campaigns, Genghis Khan passed through this area while searching for water. He tied his warhorse to a small tree. Over time, the once-simple horse post has grown thick and sturdy, and the water source he used still flows year-round as clear spring water.

This is Genghis Khan’s Horse-Tying Post, located on the western shore of Hulun Lake, 38 kilometers from Aritan Emole Town, the seat of New Barag Right Banner, and 88 kilometers from Manzhouli City. It is a steep cliff surrounded by water on three sides. To the south lies a lake of blue water, and looking out, the rocky cliffs are rugged and steep, smooth as if carved by a knife. The north and east sides are steep slopes leading down to a bay of the lake, with only the western side being a gentle slope connected to the lakeshore. At the top of the hill stands a tall pavilion. About 10 meters east of the cliff in the lake, there is a pillar-like stone about 10 meters high and over 20 meters in circumference standing abruptly. The stone is irregular in shape, thinner at the top and thicker at the bottom, with crisscrossing striations. Legend has it that Genghis Khan trained his troops here and tied his beloved eight fine horses to this pillar, which thus came to be known as "Genghis Khan's Horse-Tying Post" and has become a beautiful tourist attraction on the grassland.
