3.HOLY MOTHER TREE OF MONGOLIA

Although Buddhism is the religion most widely practiced in Mongolia, shamanism is still alive and well. Usually, the two religions blend into one, and landmarks all over Mongolia testify to this. The .Eej mode or "Mother Tree" in Shaam is one prominent example. fame spread outside Mongolia and worshipers from Japan, Korea and China come from afar to pay homage to the Mother Tree.

Those who practice shamanism believe that shamans communicate between the human world and the spirit, and Mother Tree is seen as the gateway to the spirits after it was struck by lightning. Now I am going to make a presentation to the tree in the hope of having their prayers answered.

Until 2015, Mother Tree is a real tree, around which a ger (yurt aka) was built. Following a practice that thousands of others have done before, one of the slaves in 2015 ignited an incense stick by the tree, but this time, the tree was on fire and it was all but destroyed. stumps were saved from the fire and placed in the grounds outside. Today, ger still in place, and the land where Mother Tree has grown is an object of veneration of the people.

Stumps, along with some nearby trees, shrouded in ceremonial scarves, mostly blue, and drenched with milk and vodka. The fence around the area "enriched" by the brick tea. In the next, another tree was raised to the status of the Holy Tree in recent years by the famous Mongolian shaman.

Located on a hill south of the city, the monument has a circular memorial painting that depicts scenes of friendship between the peoples of the USSR and Mongolia. Supposedly built to commemorate the Soviet troops in World War II, mural spacious also reflects Japan's defeat in 1939, which brought Mongolia into the sphere of Soviet influence. Of course the victory over Nazi Germany, battle classified Mongolian army into the Red Army, also prominently displayed.

In 2003, a reminder of the tank, which has a Soviet tank from the brigade paid by the Mongolian people, had moved to the foot of the hill. Tank warning including a map showing the route to take from Moscow in 1943 to participate in the fall of Berlin in 1945. From the bottom of the hill, visitors can choose to make the climb more than five hundred steps to reach the monuments and murals. Those who make the climb rewarded amazing panoramic view of Ulaanbaatar, the surrounding mountains and river Tuul it.

Manzushiri Khiid or "Monastery" is located in the southern part of Bogd Khan Uul mountain, at an altitude of 1800 meters above sea level. This monastery enjoys a very beautiful setting, surrounded by stunning Siberian larch forest background with natural granite cliffs eroded into the suddenly large round stones. Thousands have fallen from the cliffs to grassy spread to the forest. This monastery has over 20 temples and was at least 300 monks but was destroyed in the 1930s. The reconstruction project is underway. The main temple has been restored and converted into a museum but other buildings in the area remained in ruins. The ruins of the original monastery, dating from 1733, are clearly visible. The image of God, carved in granite at the monastery, is the exhibition's history and unique culture. There is a large boiling kettle with a diameter of 2.15 meters, a depth of 1.4 meters and a capacity of one ton that is known to have been used here to cook meals for 1000 people at one time. A short visit to a nature museum is small but interesting will introduce you to some of the wildlife and natural beauty of the area.
