The Genghis Khan Equestrian Statue, part of the Genghis Khan Statue Complex is a 40-metre (130 ft) tall statue of Genghis Khan on horseback, on the bank of the Tuul River at Tsonjin Boldog (54 km (33.55 mi) east of the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar), where according to legend, he found a golden whip. The statue is symbolically pointed east towards his birthplace. It is on top of the Genghis Khan Statue Complex, a visitor centre, itself 10 metres (33 ft) tall, with 36 columns representing the 36 khans from Genghis to Ligdan Khan. It was designed by sculptor D. Erdenebileg and architect J. Enkhjargal and erected in 2008.
Honestly that is one of coolest statues in the world. I wish more oversized statues where built around the world, especially in Canada where we only get oversized moose statues and not people or something more fierce like a bear.

You can also go on the horse's head. There is a small opening between his legs and stairs on the neck of the horse.
This way, you can get a great view of absolutely nothing since this was built in the middle of nowhere.
