Construction began in 2006 to celebrate Mongolia’s imperial legacy. The 13th Century Theme Park was designed to revive the heritage and lifestyle of the world’s largest contiguous empire. Surrounded by rolling steppes and hills, the area around Yol Mountain offers panoramic views of the Mongolian countryside, home to wildflowers, herds of horses, and open skies that capture the spirit of the steppe.
Legend says that before great battles, Chinggis Khaan would climb Yol Uul Mountain to pray to the Eternal Blue Sky for victory and unity of his people. The location of the theme park was chosen near this mountain to honor his connection with nature and divine guidance.
