NOV 26, 19 .. ULAANBAATAR, MONGOLIA .. THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN

I was asked by one of our most 'faithful followers' and a close friend as well if I'd post some photos of the downtown area/buildings of Ulaanbaatar.

This being my fifth year visiting Ulaanbaatar, it is like home to me. Who takes any pictures at home? One gets 'numb' as to taking photos of their own home town.

When I was new here (the summer and autumn of 2015) I took hundreds of photos because Ulaanbaatar was not home yet.

That being said, I'm not able to post an all-encompassing 'photo shoot' of this area because I do not have my memory chip archives (dating back to 2015) with me on this trip. 

Further I've been unable to access my 'Google Blogspot' photo archives to get back to year 2015.

Finally, with the temperature at minus 20°F below zero last night, I'm not motivated to go do a photo shoot right now.

BUT I certainly AM ABLE to give you a brief look at the heart of the downtown area of Ulaanbaatar and I will now DO SO.

Beginning September the 10th, I snapped all of the below photos during this visit to Ulaanbaatar and included them in other individual posts. As you can see, the weather was wonderful in September and October and into early November as well.

CHINGGIS KHAAN SQUARE

If one feature 'defines' downtown Ulaanbaatar, it is Chinggis Khaan Square.

'Google Maps' (click on the below link) shows it as Sukhbaatar Square. It is now known as Chinggis Khaan Square.

If all you ever see of Ulaanbaater are the below three photos, you've seen the heart of the city.




Do you see the building on the extreme right edge of the above photo?

Now I'm going to turn 90° to my right.

The same building is to the left in the below photo. 



In the above and below photos, notice the pink and white building in the distance.


This is the Ulaanbaatar Opera House.





Notice the building to the left of, and behind, the Opera House. Below are closer looks at it. My dentist's office is in this building.





THE BLUE SKY HOTEL AND TOWER

The Blue Sky Hotel and Tower is directly across Peace Avenue from Chinggis Khaan Square.

The Blue Sky also defines the heart of downtown Ulaanbaatar.








There you have it. My best effort to give you a brief review of the heart of downtown Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

Smiling at giving this my-very-best-shot.

  1. The Blue Sky Hotel building and (across the street) Chinggis Khaan Square speak to me as the center of what I know as 'downtown Ulaanbaatar'. I remember that one day we were in the Square and there was some big event going on. It is always fun to see that small oriental building in front of the Blue Sky .. what a contrast in ancient and modern! I was never in the Opera House, but you went to some memorable productions there. Nice post on another of your "home towns' !! Smiles, Patti

    1. You are not wrong in calling Ulaanbaatar one of my home towns. It certainly has a 'home town feel' to it for me. I hope you and I are able to come here together at least one more time. You have not yourself seen the Choijin Lama Museum (the oriental building in front of the side of The Blue Sky Hotel) and the view thereof. Yes I went to five operas here. Thanks for your comment and helping me review this post. Much Love .. Cap

    1. I'm pleased that I went-back-in-time to 2015 and 'found' the OCT 12, 15 post showing the heart of downtown Ulaanbaatar and then included a link back to it here at the bottom. It sure completes the picture of downtown so-to-speak. Thanks so much for all of your support and encouragement. Love Cap

  3. I like the mix of architecture, especially the pink opera building and the blue building. Thanks for sharing the photos here.

    1. Thank you for your seemingly on-going interest in our website here Terra. I found YOUR amazing website, terragarden.blogspot.com, and enjoyed exploring it. Yes there is a nice mix of building architecture to say the least in the Chinggis Khaan Square area of Ulaanbaatar. Best Wishes from Patti and myself.
