Tulou Temple is located at No. 38 West Qilian Road, Chengbei District, Xining City, Qinghai Province. It is a religious site integrating Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Its historical origin was first built in 106 AD. It was called “Tulou Mountain Temple” during the Han Dynasty. It was a “shrine of sages” built by local people for Deng Xun, the captain of the Qiang Protector. During AD 227-233 (Emperor Wei Ming), monks built caves, sculpted Buddha statues, and painted niches and caissons here, gradually making it a Buddhist temple. In the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty gave it the name “Yongxing Temple”. In 1979, the government officially assigned the Tulou Shrine to the Taoist community and changed its name to Beishan Tulou Temple. Architectural features and unique landscape landforms: Built according to the special Danxia landform shape, purple sandstone and conglomerate are soft and hard, forming red cliffs, caves, dangerous peaks, etc. The soft rock layer is recessed into “nine caves and eighteen caves”, and the hard rock layer is raised like the eaves, and the palace is built on it. Architectural layout: Palaces and pavilions such as the “West Queen Mother Palace” and “Lingguan Palace” are built according to the mountains. The plank corridors connect the palaces and the caves. There are caves in the temples, caves within the caves, and Buddhas hidden in the caves, just like the second largest “hanging temple” in China. Open-air King Kong: On the east side of Tulou Temple, there is a huge Buddha statue of “Open-air King Kong” that is tens of meters high. It is locally called “Flash Buddha”. It has the artistic style of the Tang Dynasty and was carved by believers on the basis of the original landform. Cultural value and religious value: It was once a Buddhist temple, and later became a place for Taoist activities. It is the seat of the Taoist Association of Qinghai Province and one of the Taoist activity centers in Qinghai Province. It integrates the cultures of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Historical value: Its history is closely linked to the southern route of the “Silk Road” and the rise and fall of Buddhism in the Xining area. The large number of historical relics and relics preserved provide important information for the study of ancient religion, Silk Road culture and the history of the Qinghai region. Artistic value: The sculptures of gods and Buddhas in the cave are exquisite. The patterns of gods, flowers and landscapes and other murals on the cave walls have the artistic style of Chinese and Tibetan Buddhist paintings. They are known as the “Xiping Mogao Grottoes”.
