About 12km west of the sum (district) capital of Bulgan City, the ruined Khar Bukh Balgas is worth exploring and easy to reach; it’s just a few kilometres north of the main road. The fortress, inhabited by the Kitan from 917 to 1120, is sometimes known as Kitan Balgas. A small museum nearby is unlocked by a caretaker when visitors arrive.
