Dashchoilin Monastery

Dashchoilin monastery was an essential feature of the modern Ulaanbaatar city. Dashchoilin monastery has previously housed various scientists and monks from all around Mongolia. Every year, Dashchoilin Monastery in Ulaanbaatar holds festivities like the Maitreya and Tsam religious mask dance. The Zuun Khuree College was founded in 1998 to provide comprehensive education for the community, including fundamental Buddhist teachings, Buddhist philosophy, and language training in Indian, Tibetan, and Mongolian.

This is one of just three extant monasteries of its kind in Mongolia. Originally erected at another site in 1890, it used to be an important holy center in Ulaanbaatar, with a capacity of 100 to 600 lamas or monks inside its walls. However, due to political pressure, this monastery ceased operations and was demolished in 1938.

It is presently located in the Sukhbaatar district, 8th subdistrict, quite close to the Chinese Embassy, and near Baga toiruu street, from where the colorful roofs of the monastery may be seen. It is unquestionably a lovely location to unwind.
