From Angelina Kwans album: Shankh Monastery, Khar Khorin Valley, Mongolia; and a camel chewing on a tree. Kharkhorin is located at the lower end of the upper valley of the Orkhon River which is included within UNESCOs World Heritage Site Orkhon Valley Cultural Landscape. The location marks the easternmost foothills of the Khangai Mountains, where they meet the rolling steppe of central Mongolia. Nearby are the ruins of the ancient town of Karakorum (also known as Kharkhorum or Qara Qorum) which, for a short time, served as the capital of the Mongol Empire under Ogedei Khan. Another Kharkhorin landmark is Erdene Zuu monastery and its famous phallic rock.-en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kharkhorin
