The core border scenic area on the China–Mongolia border, formed by the twin boundary markers No. 815 and No. 816 and the new National Gate tower. Climb the tower for distant views of Zamyn-Uud town in Mongolia and the cross-border rail transshipment yard—"two countries in one glance." China–Europe freight trains and the Beijing–Ulaanbaatar–Moscow international train exit the country here; a ceremonial must-snap spot at the border.
Getting there: City bus / about 10 min by taxi
