Buur Kheer Steppe
视频In the native region of a 12th-century tribal confederation
called the Three Mergids, Selenge aimag was established in 1934. Buur Kheeriin
Tal (Buur Kheer Steppe) is one of the aimag’s many beautiful landscapes. It is
said that numerous historical events related to the independence of Mongolia
took place in the area.
On this steppe 800 years ago, Chinggis Khaan took back his
queen Borte who was kidnapped by the Mergids, which marked the start of the
historical victories that led up to the foundation of the Great Mongol Empire.
As proof, a large stone monument stands in the middle of the wide, open land.
On the monument, there is an inscription written in Mongolian script that
states, “Let’s stop here as we found the one we are looking for, said Chinggis
Khaan.” The monument’s stone was brought there from Dulaan Khan Mountain that
is located to the north of Dulaankhan village, Shaamar soum.
To the south of the monument, there is also a nearby spring
that bubbles at the sound of one’s singing.
