Nanchan Temple, also known as Nanshan Temple, is located at the foot of Nanshan Mountain in the southwest of Xining City. It was built in the Northern Song Dynasty and belongs to the Pure Land Sect. It is one of the earlier Han Buddhist temples in Qinghai.
Nanchan Temple has a very strong incense in history, and it is an important place for Buddhist activities in Qinghai, so many pilgrims come here. The temple was once destroyed by wars and natural disasters in history. Most of the current buildings were rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty, but it can be regarded as one of the precious ancient buildings in Xining. The entire monastery is rigorous and orderly according to the layout of Chinese classical architecture, which is unique in the Qinghai area where many Tibetan monasteries are scattered.
