Tsetserleg, Arkhangai Province, Mongolia
🇲🇳 Tsetserleg, also Cecerleg (Цэцэрлэг, "park" or "garden") is the capital of Arkhangai Aimag (province) in Mongolia. It lies on the north-eastern slopes of the Khangai Mountains, 600 km (370 miles) south-west of Ulaanbaatar.

History Tsetserleg is an ancient cultural and commercial centre. It was once the seat of a monastery (Zayiin Gegeen Monastery), built by the First Khalkh Zaya Pandita, Luvsanperenlei (1642–1715) (who should not be confused with Zaya Pandita Namkhaijantsan (1599–1662)). It consisted of the main Guden Süm, the Right, or Summer Semchin Temple, and the Left, or Winter Semchin Temple, all built in the early 1680s. The sixth Zaya Pandita, Jambatseren, was killed by the Communists in 1932, and the main Guden temple was turned into a museum. There is a seventh Zaya Pandita, but he mostly lives in Ulan Bator and visits only occasionally.
Facilities Tsetserleg has an airport, with regular connections from and to Ulan Bator, a theatre, hotel, hospital, and an agricultural college. The main industry is food processing.
