The main hall is modeled after the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa. The building is of reinforced concrete structure with one floor and three floors. The monk's house is built around the main hall. The layout of the whole temple is clear and orderly. The temple architecture absorbs the advantages of the Han and Tibetan architectural art, and appears solemn and magnificent.
