　　B. Lajia Temple
　　Lajia Temple lies half way up Dalan Hill in Minghe county, Qinghai province. It was built during the Northern Wei dynasty in remembrance of Lajiameshi, a member of the Yellow Sect of Lamaism of India, who came to China in 321 A.D. to spread Hinsyana doctrine and spent thirteen years preaching around this place until he returned to India in 334 A.D.

There stands a tablet recording the history of the temple in the pavilion on the left, while in the pavilion on the right, there is a chess table made of stone. Although it is worn by constant use, you can still discern the lines on the stone. It is said during the years when Lajiameshi editated in the cave behind the temple, he sometimes played chess with the local people on this table when he was tired from sitting. Later after his departure, the cave collapsed and the chess table was removed into the temple .
　　The path finally ends right in front of Falundian, the Hall of Dharma. It is a triangular prism-shaped structure with a clay elephant on the ridge.Under the four overhanging eaves are four great pillars on which flying dragons are spiralling upward. The whole structure is about 11 meters in height and occupies a floor space of 300 square meters.
　　once you get into the hall, the first thing you see is the colored clay
　　sculpture of Sakyamuni sitting cross-legged on the waterlily stand. The Buddha has a calm smile on his face. The robe is tightly wrapped around his body as if he has just come out of water. On the right of Sakyamuni is the laughing Amitabha in his half-ly
