According to legend, Princess Wencheng washed herself by the spring during her stay here.

This Buddhist hall is a relatively grand and precious historical and cultural relic left by Princess Wencheng when she entered Tibet in the 15th year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (641 AD). A statue was built on the stone wall to show his nostalgia, so a temple was built. This temple has become a symbol of Tibetan-Han unity, and a Buddhist hall where believers pay homage. The incense is lingering and lasts for a long time. The local Tibetans regard this place as the "Cave Heaven and Paradise" on the Yushu Plateau.

It is a very worthwhile place, you must drive there, in the valley, there will be signs on the way from the airport to Yushu. The temple is very small, and it was being remodeled when I went there, but when I entered it, there was a strong smell of incense, a particularly strong smell, which made people feel the weight of history, a kind of agarwood smell that can only be found in plateaus. Surrounded by hanging paintings, I also saw a Han female monk meditating and chanting scriptures, pious. The door is full of yaks, and the yaks are also very docile, grazing quietly, without contending with the world

Today, in the second issue of "Knowledge of Literature and History" in 2006, Huo Fu corrected a previous knowledge point error in his article "The Temple of Princess Wencheng on the Ancient Tang and Tibetan Road" [cover face] At first, people thought that the sculptures in the Princess Wencheng Temple were Princess Wencheng and her eight maids, but after research, it was found that the Tathagata Buddha was in the middle, Maitreya Buddha and Kongkongzang on the upper left, Ksitigarbha and Guanyin Bodhisattva on the lower left, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva on the lower left. It is Vajradhara Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and on the lower right is Manjushri and Obstacle Elimination Bodhisattva.
