Huge head of Lenin This is a huge head of Lenin monument instead of other cities which always spot the same Lenin statue pose. The square is big and surrounded by old parliament buildings. Notice the corner shop is tiny and sells that KBAC yeast drink that taste like fizzy soy sauce or Marmite.

An icon of the city of Ulan Ude, located in the main square. Q

It's the main and the most popular monument in Ulan-Ude, it's a symbol, page of SU period of history. Huge and impressive.

Very good statue of Lenin 22.06.2019

Keep in mind the following: it is 1) the BIGGEST Lenin head in the world; 2) made in the GDR; 3) given a slightly Asian lineament; 4) the reason for the common invective for Buryat people in Russian Hope this one helps you a little bit)

Good statue, nice to stretch your legs and have a day of the train, if your doing the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Biggest human head monument in the world. It's a so peaceful at morning

One of the most scenic spots in the city and beautiful place to visit and know the culture. You can ride here on taxi-bus (marshrutka) N°97 from the city centre. Bring sun creme with you to avoid sun burns. Also bring some water as well.

One of the best view of Ulan Ude from here. Monastery has few area of worship and history. Must visit when in Siberia . Would go back once again …

Love here，I feel peace in it.

(Translated by Google) It’s a pity that there are no excursions on site, nothing was clear to me. But as I was told, they don’t like tourists here, because this is a holy place, not for strangers. Nearby there is a large store with souvenirs, clothes and Ayurvedic medicines. A dull cafe, a shop with eco-products and a paid toilet. It was very, very difficult to get a taxi from there. Check in advance on the Internet what time the khurals are held; at this time you should not visit the temple as a tourist (Original) Жаль, что нет экскурсий на месте, мне было ничего не понятно. Но как мне сказали, тут не любят туристов, тк это святое место, не для чужаков. Рядом есть большой магазин с сувенирами, одеждой и аюрведическими препаратами. Унылое кафе, магазинчик с эко продукцией и платный туалет. Такси от туда вызвать было очень-очень сложно. Посмотрите заранее в интернете, во сколько проводятся хуралы, в это время не стоит посещать храм в качестве туриста

(Translated by Google) Great place to relax. The mountain offers a beautiful view of the city. There is a trail with gazebos, a cafe next to the datsan, a souvenir shop, and a paid toilet. It's better to visit this place in summer (Original) Отличное место для отдыха. С горы открывается красивый вид на город. Есть тропа с беседками , кафе рядом с дацаном, сувенирная лавка, платный туалет . Лучше посещать это место летом

(Translated by Google) 2025.06.02 In the morning, before heading south back to Ulaanbaatar, we first came to this hillside in the northern suburbs of Ulan-Ude. Here, the view is wide and the outlook is excellent. You can overlook the beautiful scenery of Ulan-Ude city and the Selenge River flowing from south to north through the city. (Original) 2025.06.02 早晨，我們南下返回烏蘭巴托前，先來到位於烏蘭烏德北郊的這個山坡上。 這裡視野開闊、展望極佳，可以眺望烏蘭烏德市區以及由南向北流經市區的色楞格河的優美景致。

(Translated by Google) Very well-kept monastery with a beautiful, wide view of the city and the river. In the late afternoon we saw few visitors and it was quiet. A beautiful and sensual atmosphere (Original) Sehr gepflegtes Kloster mit einem wunderschönen weiten Blick auf die Stadt und den Fluss. Am späten Nachmittag haben wir wenig Besucher angetroffen und es war ruhig. Eine schöne und sinnliche Atmosphäre

Got here in monday, so i could not get to the main part, since it's closed in Mon and Tue. Anyway, you can go and see animals in the zoo, spend some time laying down in hammock, walk around the park. To get here you need to catch a taxi-bus(marshrutka) N°37 from the city centre.

Very educational museum set up as a beautiful park. Great place to walk around as adults and to bring children too. Only reason not 5 stars is because the little zoo is extremely depressing. Very small catches and poor animals. If you skip the animals the museum is AWESOME, but the animals are very depressing.

First of all, despite having paid full ticket price and half the display being closed, I think this museum gives good insight to the everyday life in Siberian towns. What I found shocking, cruel and utterly unacceptable was the little zoo part. Animals in very bad shape such as tigers, bears wolves and foxes (one of which had a deep injury in her nose) are kept in very tiny cages without any shade. I believe they should be set free or sent somewhere where they can be better treated.

When we visited (mid May) we were disappointed to see that a lot of the houses and reconstructions were closed. Most upsetting of all, however, were the animals on display, all kept in tiny pens. There were tigers, bears, foxes, wolves etc etc who were all clearly very distressed, mangey and bored from being kept in such small cages. I hope that one day soon these animals can be released into the wild or nature parks where they will have the space to roam free as wild animals should.

Interesting place,but in April so cold here

Very busy in weekends with nice weather. Anyway worth to visit

Terrible exposition. If you had an opportunity to go to Talci near Irkutsk I recommend you to go there.

concert arranged by tour it's interesting in Ulan-Ude to see a mix of cultures with Asian influence and Western, you can tell from their performance some are heavily influenced by Mongolians and some are influenced by other past countries of Russia. Anyway beautiful roof.

Nice theatre, worth a visit

Only Opera in this town so if you want listen some Opera you are gonna visit it

High Level ethno theater of Opera and Balet

wholesum 100 sablin chungus

Great quality, beautiful

Awesome!

In the God we believe 22.06.2019

So beautiful church in a Ulan-ude. Have a nice garden

Nice

(Translated by Google) Calm, ascetic temple. The outside is airy and lacy, the inside is strict and calm, at the same time very welcoming and warm. A place of prayer. The Smolensk copy of the icon of the Mother of God Hodegetria flowed myrrh and is especially revered by the townspeople. This icon is on the right near the windows. On the top floor are kept the relics (rib) of Varlaam of Chikoy, a locally revered saint. The upper aisle is temporarily closed to parishioners. #guidenataliamyasnikova (Original) Спокойный, аскетичный храм. Снаружи воздушный и кружевной, внутри строгий и спокойный, одновременно очень приветливый и теплый. Намоленное место. Смоленский список иконы Богоматери Одигитрия мироточил и особо почитаем у горожан. Эта икона справа у окон. На верхнем этаже хранятся мощи (ребро) Варлаама Чикойского, местночтимого святого. Верхний придел временно закрыт для прихожан. #гиднаталиямясникова

(Translated by Google) It is considered the first stone building in the city of Ulan-Ude. Built in 1741-1785. Before the war, the cathedral building housed an anti-religious museum. It was recognized as an architectural monument only in 1960. Currently it is a cultural heritage site of federal significance. (Original) Считается первым каменным зданием в городе Улан-Удэ. Построен в 1741-1785 годах. До войны в здании собора размещался антирелигиозный музей. Признан памятником архитектуры только в 1960 году. В данный момент является объектом культурного наследия федерального значения.

(Translated by Google) St. Odigitry Cathedral was named after the Blessed Virgin Mary "Odigitry". Construction of the cathedral began in 1741 and lasted more than 40 years. It is the first stone building in Verhneudinsk. The absence of frescoes and the main decorative element, the gilded iconostasis, represent a distinctive feature compared to comparable buildings. The cathedral is considered one of the most outstanding examples of stone architecture in the first half of the 18th century and is the only surviving example of the Siberian Baroque style. (Original) Die St. Odigitry Kathedrale wurde nach der Heiligen Jungfrau Maria "Odigitry" benannt. 1741 begann der mehr als 40 Jahre andauernde Bau der Kathedrale. Es handelt sich um das erste Steingebäude in Verhneudinsk. Das Fehlen von Fresken und das dekorative Hauptelement, die vergoldete Ikonostase, stellen eine Besonderheit zu vergleichbaren Bauwerken dar. Die Kathedrale gilt als eines der herausragendsten Beispiele für Steinarchitektur in der ersten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts und ist das einzige erhaltene Beispiel für den sibirischen Barockstil.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful temple. Excellent equipped playground for children. (Original) Очень красивый храм. Прекрасная оборудованная площадка для детей.

very interesting museum and a cool selection of exhibited items, I enjoyed it a lot and would totally recommend!

Pretty small and not a lot of English labels, good if you're in the area but not worth going out of your way for.

Interesting temples and history, but not too much to see in muzey

There are events sometimes, u can read there about Verhneudinsk(now Ulan-Ude) history on the desk inside and its very interesting.

Not enough information in English.

Good

(Translated by Google) The museum is great! Having lived in Ulan-Ude all my life, I have never been on an excursion, and after the visit I did not regret it. The employees are incredibly kind and nice people: they will tell and show you everything informatively. The contents of the museum also did not disappoint. Despite the small size of the museum, inside there is a treasure trove of historical photographs, objects, and the museum also has an interactive room with objects from the times of the USSR, where you can touch everything. (Original) Музей - супер! Живя всю жизнь в Улан-Удэ, ни разу не бывала на экскурсии, и после визита не пожалела. Сотрудники неимоверно добрые и милые люди: всё информативно расскажут и покажут. Содержание музея также не разочаровало. Несмотря на малый размер музея, внутри кладезь исторических фотографий, предметов и также в музее есть интерактивная комната с предметами времён СССР, где можно все потрогать.
