The ASA Arena, formerly Mongolian National Circus (Mongolian: Монгол Улсын Цирк), is a circus and event venue in Sükhbaatar District, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
History
The circus building was built in 1971 with a US$7.4 million loan from Romania. In 2008, the circus was privatized by former sumo grand champion Asashoryu D.Dagvadorj and then renamed the venue as Asa Circus. In 2020, the interior of the circus underwent renovation.
Architecture
The shape of the circus building resembles traditional round hat down by women in Ulaanbaatar. The building was designed by architect Ya.Sharkhuu.
