They immediately copied a statue of Buddha on the spot according to its original appearance. Since then, there has been a Tagong Temple on the plateau. Tagong grassland was named after it.

It mainly consists of the following parts: First, the main hall is a combination of Chinese and Tibetan architectural style. The lower part is a traditional Tibetan stone wall, and the upper part is a Chinese-style roof. The temple is dedicated to the statue of Sarong Gongga, the master of Sakyamuni Sakyamuni Sect.
Second, every temple must have a dharma temple, which is heavily guarded and contains dharma idols. The third is the "Sleeping Buddha" Hall. The Lu Temple is dedicated to the statue of Sakyamuni, which was carried by Princess Wencheng in the Tang Dynasty when she entered Tibet.
The Buddha statue is an important cultural relic in the temple and a treasure of the town temple, and has a high reputation among religious believers in Ganzi Prefecture. The fourth is the Tower Hall, which is mainly dedicated to the "Zhituo" Tower (the Chinese name for Achievement Tower). It is said that there is a magical sandalwood stave in the tower, which is also the treasure of temples and towns.
The fifth is the turning corridor. There are two turning corridors in the temple: one is a small turning corridor around the tower hall; the other is a large turning corridor around the renovated temple (including Tallinn). In the morning and evening, there are local herdsmen or pilgrims from other places who recite Mani Sutra, turn "Dongke" by hand and turn it clockwise.
The sixth is "Zhakong" (that is, the monk's room). On the left and right sides of the main hall, there are two distinctive Tibetan "collapsed" buildings, which are dedicated to the residence of temple monks. The seventh is the Lotus Peanut Hall.
