Lying in the recesses of the rolling Yinshan Mountains, 70 kilometers northwest of Baotou City, Wudang Lamasery is the largest well-preserved monastery of pure Tibetan-style in Inner Mongolian.
Wudang Lamasery, which took Zhashlunbu Temple as an example, was built up in the early period of the Qing Dynasty. Having been extended many times in Qianlong Age, Jiaqing Age, Daoguang Age and Guangxu Age, the lamasery has developed into the present large size. Surrounded by mountains covered with lush pines and willows, the lamasery, with a clear stream flowing in front of it, is grand and magnificent. It contains 2538 halls and houses and covers an area of 200,000 sq. meters. More than 1200 lamas served in the lamasery at its best time.
All the buildings are featured by the Tibetan architecture: flat roof, white walls and small windows. Set against the green trees growing high on the surrounding mountains, the lamasery looks solemn, magnificent and gorgeous.
