This historical monastery, also known as the Baldan Drepung Monastery, was established in 1777 by Mongolian monk Tsevendorj. The monastery served as the main religious center in Eastern Mongolia and housed thousands of monks and multiple religious institutions, making it one of the largest monasteries in Mongolia in the 19th century. Visitors can admire the stone carvings of the Manzushir Buddha, a Bodhisattva of wisdom, and see the gers that once housed the monks.
