| Situated in old downtown Hohhot, Xilituzhao
was built in 1585 specially for the Third Dalai Lama. It is a complex
in both Han and Tibetan styles. The gate is painted in red, the walls
are laid with glazed bricks, and the roofs are painted in gold. A 15-meter-tall
white marble Buddhist pagoda stands in Xilituzhao, the largest lama
pagoda in Inner Mongolia.
