Encyclopedic overview
Chinggis City, formerly Öndörkhaan, is a town in Mongolia located 290 km east of Ulaanbaatar. On 18 November 2013, the city was renamed to Chinggis City from its former name of Öndörkhaan in honor of Genghis Khan, who was born and possibly buried in the same province north of the city. Chinggis City serves as the capital of the province Khentii Aimag.
