Genghis Khan's Mausoleum lies 30 kilometers south of Ejin Horo Banner, and 185 kilometers from Baotou, the capital of North China's Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region.

Genghis Khan was born in 1167 into an aristocratic family near the Onon River in Mongolia. In 1206, he unified the Mongol tribes and became the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire.

He was later conferred the title of "Genghis Khan，" meaning "universal ruler." Genghis Khan conquered most of Eurasia and fathered many children. Kublai, one of his grandsons, later became the first emperor of the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368).
