A Mongolian Ao'bao which is a pile of stones built as a road or boundary sign. Mongolians revere such structures as symbols of worship and they go around them on their journeys for blessings and a safe journey.
wow it would be an amazing sight to see a structure like this in the middle of endless plains! it's so hard to imagine such huge expanses of grassland!
Ryozan, It's because of the vast expanse of grasslands that perhaps warrant such ao'baos to be built as reference points for navigation and demarcation of borders.
