Description of location :
Geleta (Forbáth, p. 225.) describes this place east of Ulaanbaatar in the following way: leaving the city of Maimaachen, from the road one could see a huge timber-yard on the left bank of Tuul River, which was the property of the state. The mountain-inhabitants used to float the logs down on the river to transport it. Above the timber-yard, there was a small temple with a sharp red Chinese-roof with the green Bogd khan Mountain in its background. This was situated before the bridge, on the south of the river, as Geleta describes it. However, it may have been situated not in Bayanzürkh, but near, or on the north slopes of Bogd khan Mountain. Considering the data above it is evident that there was a shrine near the bridge to the east of Khüree, but it may also be the case that different sources mention more than one temple in this area.
The GPS was taken over the bridge on Tuul River at the city border crossing post, which is the presumed site according to Rinchen’s map.
