In observance of Genghis Khan Day, I talk a little bit about Genghis Khan and his friendship with a Taoist monk called Changchun.

SOURCE
There are two English translations of 長春真人西遊記 (Changchun's Journey to the West) that I am aware of. Both are in the public domain and available online:
- Emil Bretschneider, 1888: archive.org/details/mediaevalresearc01bret/page/34/mode/2up
- Arthur Waley, 1931: archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.43995

Some have commented asking about availability of translations in other languages. To my knowledge, Changchun's Journey to the West has only been translated into English, Russian (Palladius, 1866), and Japanese (Iwamura, 1948).

Thank you to B. Cichoszewski for preparing the Polish subtitles.
