The 2,000-square-meter museum in Xilinhot-another city in Inner Mongolia, some 600 kilometers from Hohhot-is open to the public from 8 am to 9 pm daily.

"I have to get more people involved," Baljinnyam says of his endeavor.

According to Gao Mingrui, director of the museum, more books on the subject have been donated or bought as exhibits other than Baljinnyam's own collection.

More than 16,000 copies on Genghis Khan are now housed in the museum, which has attracted 37,000 visitors since its opening in June.

"We will begin research on the books, and are considering some of them as applicants for the national list of precious ancient books," Gao says.

The oldest book in the museum was published in 1573 during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).

Gao also says they are planning to hold a special exhibition on Genghis Khan in Taiwan in the future.
