Baotou Fuzheng Temple (Baotou Zhao) 🙏
Built during the Kangxi to Yongzheng years, it is the family temple of the Ba clan of the Mongolian ethnicity in Baotou, commonly known as "Baotou Zhao". The main building is a Han-Tibetan style hall, two stories high, with the bottom floor serving as the scripture hall and the top floor housing two Buddha halls, one in the front and one in the back.
Baotou Lüzu Hall (Miaofa Temple) 🙏
Miaofa Temple was originally built in the third year of the Xianfeng era of the Qing Dynasty (1853), and Lüzu Hall is the only remaining Qing Dynasty building in the temple, an example of a temple where Taoism was converted to Buddhism.
🚄 Travel Tip: Located in the Hedong Old City of Baotou, the two temples are close to each other and both have no admission fee.
