About Khan Mountain

Large heads of Mongol and Yuan rulers rise on the hillside above ranks of sculpted warriors, turning the slope into an open-air historical tableau. The effect depends on scale: the army is read close up, while the ruler portraits dominate the longer view. A simple uphill sequence through those two groups explains the composition more clearly than treating the sculptures as unrelated photograph stops.

What to look for

  • The hillside group of Mongol and Yuan ruler portraits.
  • The ranks of warrior sculptures arranged below the rulers.

Location & getting there

Getting to Khan Mountain

Travel from Holingol to the Khan Mountain, or Kehanshan, scenic area north of the city.

  • Use the managed attraction entrance; this sculpture site is distinct from other mountains called Hanshan in eastern Inner Mongolia.
