There is an ancient city
ruin including over 50 building remains called Olon Baishin southeast from
Kheseg Baishin behind Busyn Chuluu and in front of Olongyn Us in Ikh Khet
Soum, Dornogobi province.
There are many
construction remains surrounding north and 2 adjacent sides of pyramid-shaped
building which is supposed to be a main building. Although appearance and shape
of some buildings are much same as buildings in Kheseg Baishin, they differ
with the surrounding fortress.
According to the
researcher’s records, a base of the building was made by granite and brick wall
on it was placed using a same style as buildings in Kheseg Baishin.
Square-shaped stone with a hole in the center found from the ruin is supposed
to be a support of the column. There were no traces of stele among the findings
but a stone trough and stupa-shaped establishments were found. Both Kheseg
Baishin and Olon Baishin are supposed to have been built by Togoontumur khaan.
Russian tourist Timkovskii who travelled the sight in 1821-22 recorded that
“Sain Huntaij had been living there 300 years ago”. Sinologist Palladi Kafarova
who passed through this area in 1847 heard of talk: “groom of Manchu king had
been living in this place”.
As seen from here both
Kheseg Baishin and Olon Baishin belong to same period of time and Sain Huntaij
must be Erdene Huntaij Degelei mentioned in the inscription of Kheseg Baishin.
Probably, he had inhabited in the land until it was conquered and destroyed by
the Manchurians in the end of 17th century. Even though there is still a
talk among the locals of Togoontumur khaan in connection with the place. After
his return from China, may be, Togoontumur khaan had lived for several years in
this place and then some buildings were probably built after it was
abandoned.
