Yellow Palace

The Yellow Palace (ᠰᠢᠷ᠎ᠠ ᠣᠷᠳᠣᠨ Shar ordon) was an imperial residence of the Bogd Khan, ruler of Mongolia.

[4][1] The layout consisted of a main gate towards the south in front of a large central square.

[5] Behind it was a secondary gate that led to the first enclosure where a number of large yurts were located.

This was followed by the main enclosure in which the gilded three-storied Maidar Temple stood to the west,[6][7] dating to 1833.

Located to the back of the Yellow Palace towards the northwest was the large Bat Tsagaan Temple, constructed in 1654.
