Nice place to relax and take in some fresh air. Concrete esplanade extends all the way to the Herlen River (~1-2 km) if you really feel like getting a walk in and feel the -20 degree Celsius Siberian burn.
Natural history/ethnography museum, Mongolian warrior monument, tank, etc, including tributes to Soviet general Georgy Zhukov, who quashed the Imperial Japanese Army during the Battle of Khalkin Gol that took place nearby.
Authentic Chinese and Mongolian food.

This would be a place to go if you need a new suitcase or toothbrush because it has just about everything.
By bus
By intercity bus. Buses leave daily from the Eastern Bus Terminal in UB at 08:00 and arrive in Choilbalsan at 23:00. These are old Russian buses since part of the road is unmaintained dirt.
Choose an airport to see hotels, stations, taxi ranks and car rental desks around it.
