Chinggis Khan cenotaph & Memorial Mausoleum

The "Mausoleum of Genghis Khan" (simplified Chinese: 成吉思汗陵) is located along a river in Kandehuo Enclosure, Xinjie Town, Ejen Khoruu Banner, Ordos Prefecture-Level City (formerly Yeke Juu league), Inner Mongolia, People's Republic of China. The Mausoleum is not the real burial place of the Khan, which has never been discovered; it is a cenotaph, where the coffin contains no body, but only headdresses and accessories. It was built between 1954 to 1956 by the government of the PRC in the traditional Mongol style.
Situation in the Ejin Horo Banner of Ordos City, the mausoleum, covering 55,544 square meters, consists of three Mongolian yurtshaped halls with colorful glazed tiles. Its main building includes a gate arch imitating the style of a Ming period's city tower and three inter-linking yurtstyle great halls, involving a main hall, and the east and west wing halls together with east and west corridors in addition to a back hall. In front of the main hall, there stands a 5-meter-tall sculptured statue of white marble of Genghis Khan. Before the statue, an incense-burner is laid with a butter-oil lamp illuminating forever. In the back hall, the coffins of Genghis Khan and his wife were laid. In the east hall, the coffins of his fourth son, and his wife were also laid. In the west hall, a row of nine long spearheads was on display to symbolize the nine great generals of Genghis Khan, together with a broad knife and a horsewhip he had used in wars. On the 21st of March, 15th of May, and 12th of September, and the 3rd of October in lunar calendar every year, his posterity Darhut people will hold grand memorial ceremony with sacrificial offerings there.
