Sukhbaatar Square

Sükhbaatar Square is the central square of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. It is named after and features a statue of Damdin Sükhbaatar, leader of Mongolia's 1921 revolution. The statue is located right in front of the Saaral Ordon (Government Palace). The newspaper "Izvestiya Ulanbator khoto" reported on July 15, 1925 that "in line with Mongolian tradition the fourth anniversary of the People's Revolution was celebrated with rallies at the square dedicated to D.Sukhbaatar". The statue of Sukh Janjin (meaning General Sukhbaatar) lies on the spot where his horse urinated during a rally on July 8, 1921.
