Numerous war memorials, built to honour the Soviet and Mongolian dead, are scattered about the area, most of them on the road to Khalkh Gol (town). Near the river bank there's a modest memorial marking the unknown heroes' grave , where 90 nameless Mongolian men are seeing out eternity. Others are real socialist masterpieces, the most impressive being the Yakovlev Сhuudiin Tank Khoshuu , a Soviet tank on a pedestal 23km northwest of the town, and the 10m-high Yalaltiin Khoshuu , just outside Khalkh Gol, a stylised Mongolian maiden on one side and grim-faced Soviet and Mongolian soldiers side by side on the reverse.
