Beichan Temple, also known as Beishan Temple and Tulou Temple, is located on Beishan in Xining. Beichan Temple is not well-known, but it has a very long history. For tourists who like to visit ancient times, this is a place not to be missed. In addition, the landform of Beishan is red and steep. From the mountain, you can overlook Xining City. It is also very good to climb the mountain to see the scenery. Beichan Temple was first built in the Northern Wei Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,900 years. It was originally a Buddhist temple and later changed to a Taoist temple. It is one of the earliest religious buildings in Qinghai. Beishan, where the temple is located, is a special Danxia landform, with ripple-like unevenness on the steep rock walls. People in Xining call it "Nine Caves and Eighteen Caves". The entire temple building is built on sandstone, the attic stands in the air, and there are Buddha statues in the caves. The caves are connected by suspended plank roads, and the structure is very delicate and wonderful. When visiting the Beichan Temple, in addition to visiting the buildings and taking pictures of the steep mountain, you can also overlook the Xining City on the north side in the mountains when the weather is good. The view is wide and suitable for taking pictures.
