Zaisan Memorial

Located on a hill in the southern part of the city, the memorial features a circular painting that depicts scenes of friendship between the people of the USSR and Mongolia.

After driving to the uppermost parking lot on the hill, visitors must make a climb of three hundred steps before reaching the monument and mural.

In 2003, a tank memorial, which previously had been located on a crossroads between Zaisan and the city center, was moved to the foot of the hill.

The tank memorial includes a map showing the route the brigade took from Moscow in 1943 to its participation in the fall of Berlin in 1945.

In recent times, more and more modern luxury housing developments have popped up near the Zaisan region, making it popular as an elite residential district.
