The lake is one of the most important places of Mongolian history : here, in 1189, Temuujin was crowned and became Genghis Khan, "The great king
ocean" who unified the different nomads tribes in 1206. In the book "the Secret History of Mongols", that concentrates many chronicles about the life
of Genghis Khan, the names of the places "Khukh Nuur" and Mount "Kharzurkh" are actually mentioned.
On the banks of the lake, you'll see a monument dedicated to the birth of Genghis Khan (1162). Around this monument, on an arc of circle that has a
diameter of 108 metres (354,33 feet), 36 wooden statues representing the different kings of the lineage of Genghis Khan have been erected. In the
centre of this arc, you can admire the statues of his father Esukhei, of his mother Oulen, and the statue of Queen Borte.
On the two sides of the door, you can also see nine statues of Genghis Khan's generals.
In total, it's no less than 50 wooden statues that form the memorial.
