Hohhot - Lama Temple of Xilitu Zhao

The Lama Temple of Xilitu Zhao in the Old Town was founded in the Ming period (1368-1644); it was home to the famous Huofo Xitiuke, who was tutor to the fourth Dalai Lama. To the southeast of the Main Hall, which is laid out in Tibetan style like all the other halls, stands a 15m/50ft high stupa (Buddhist shrine), one of the most beautiful to be found anywhere in Inner Mongolia.
