Beichan Temple is the earliest religious building in Qinghai. It was first built in the period of Emperor Ming of the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 106). It was first a Buddhist temple and then a Taoist temple. The most famous thing about Beichan Temple is its “nine caves and eighteen caves”. These ancient caves have different structures. Some caves have no set holes and some have set holes. There are statues of gods, Buddhas, and Taoist gods in the caves, all of which are strange and strange. There are plank roads connecting the caves. The existing caves of Beichan Temple still retain some murals from the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Yongqing period. The Ningshou Pagoda on the top of the mountain is the tallest ancient building in Xining, and you can overlook the panoramic view of Xining.
