Σημερα επισκεφθηκαμε το μοναστηρι Gandan το μοναδικο που εχει μεινει στην UB, αφοτου τη δεκαετια του 30 η κομμουνιστικη κυβερνηση της Μογγολιας κατεστρεψε σχεδον ολα τα βουδιστικα μοναστηρια και σκοτωσε τουλαχιστον 15.000 Λαμας.

Χτιστηκε το 1800 και ειναι Θιβετιανου στυλ μοναστηρι και φιλοξενει ενα τεραστιο (26.5 μετρα ψηλο) αγαλμα του Avalokiteśvara (βουδιστικη μορφη)
Ειναι ενα συμπλεγμα ναων, δυστυχως σε καποιους οπου οι μοναχοι εψελναν δεν ηταν δυνατο να τραβηξω φωτος
