Буянтын хүрээ хэмээн нэрлэгдсэн энэ хурлын газар нь 20-р зууны эхээр 3-4 сүм дугантай, 60-аад лам байнга сууж хурдаг байнгын хурал бүхий жижиг хийд байжээ.

Description of location :
The monastic city is located on the shore of a small river, Mogoin Gol, which streams through the Mongol Altai mountains. This area was occupied by the first agricultural unit (negdel) of Tsetseg sum which later moved to the sum and brigade centers. Currently there are no traces from the Mogoi Khuree (The Monastic city of Mogoi). The site has a few buildings which are used for storage by the locals. There are winter and autumn quarters.

Site status at the time of survey :
The area once inhabited by the Mogoin Khuree has numerous mud buildings and storage houses used by locals, and other buildings built during the communist period including administration halls of the brigade and sum centers. Because these were built on the base of the Mogoin Khuree, much of what was built during khuree period is obscured. However, there is a base of an old building on an embankment edge to the northeast of the khuree. Also in the middle of the site is an old base, a small building base, remnants of a fence, and broken pieces of an cast iron cauldron. We have taken the photos of these sites as much as possible. Our guide Dagva showed us a base of the main Tsogchen Dugan which he heard of being there. The main Tsogchen Dugan looks like it consisted of two separate buildings or a merge of two buildings. Also next to the main Tsogchen Dugan floor 6 wood remnants are buried that could have been of a small temple.
