Visit a revitalized and restored Tibetan-style Buddhist compound at Gandantegchenling Monastery. Home to more than 150 monks, the suburban monastery features a residential area for religious practitioners, ornate temples, teaching centers, and a 26.5 m (87 ft) copper statue of Avalokitesvara adorned with 2,286 gems and precious stones.

Is not a little bit away from the Centre of Ulan Bator, but unable to walk away. Foreign tourists stopped at the entrance of the temple, and pay the entry fee.

And shiny with gold, was impressive.
