Naiqiong temple, built between the villages, is just a small square courtyard with its gate open to the East. It is said that in the eighth century AD, the lotus master subdued the ferocious najondojizhadan and turned it into the Dharma protector of Tibetan Buddhism. Therefore, there is one of the most magical witches in Tibet in Naiqiong temple, that is, Naiqiong god man with boundless power. At the same time, a kind of religious ceremony of subduing gods has been preserved.
