Five Pagoda Temple (Wuta Si)

 

Wuta Si, also called Jingangzuo Sheli Baota, is seated in Wuta Jie, the southeastern part of the old town. It used to be a part of Cideng Temple (Cideng Si), whose other parts have all ruined.

As Jinggangzuo Sheli Baota has five small square-shaped dagobas on its top, it is named Wuta Si. The fifty two-feet-tall temple is decorated with glazed tiles. The lower part has many designs related to Buddhism and Jingang Scripture written in Mongolian, Tibetan and Chinese. More than one thousand gold-plating figures of the Buddha are molded in upper tiers, small but exquisite.

The most valuable stonecutting is the one carved on the northern wall. It is the only astronomical map annotated in Mongolian so far found in the world.

Admission: 10 (RMB)
Opening time: 9:00-17:00
