the ejin horo banner is also known as the location of the mausoleum of genghis khan. ethnic mongolians in china have made pilgrimages to the mausoleum for decades, especially during the annual naadam festival every summer. in recent years, there has been an increase in the number of tourists visiting the site, often wealthy urban chinese on domestic excursions. local entrepreneurs are attempting to accommodate these visitors, and capitalize on the new situation; government subsidies reflect an attempt to stimulate the improvement of tourist facilities, which have held a aaaaa rating from china's national tourism administration since 2011. the mausoleum does not claim to contain the remains of genghis khan. a 17th-century source asserts that only the shirt, shoes, and tent of the great khan were buried at the ejin horo banner, and even the few artifacts at the site were destroyed by red guards during the cultural revolution. there are other locations in outer mongolia that lay claim to the final resting place of genghis khan.
