After the tout you will be brought back to your hotel.

Five Pagoda Temple

Five-Pagoda Temple, also called Jingangzuo Dagoba, used to be one building of the Cideng Temple. Cideng Temple had been ruined and only the five-pagoda remains and got its present name. Built of stone and bricks, the temple is 13 meters high and is composed of three parts: the base, the seat and the top (five pagodas). In the lower seat there are exquisite inscriptions of Diamond Sutra written in Mongolian, Tibetan and Sanskrit. The upper part of the base is a niche for a statue of Buddha and four Devarajas.

Dazhao Temple

Dazhao Temple, ‘Wuliang Si (Infinite Temple)’ in Chinese, is the oldest building and the largest temple in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. Locally, people usually refer to it as the Silver Buddha Temple (Yinfo Si) for it is here that there is a rare silver statue of Sakyamuni that measures 2.5-meter-high (8.2-foot-high). The construction of the temple was completed in 1580 during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and it is therefore the oldest Lamaist Buddhist temple in Inner Mongolia. There was a major reconstruction in 1640 although much of the original architectural style was retained.
