Lanzhou Hongyun Hotel

Baiyi Si

I cannot find out much information about this small temple and its associated stupa behind. The temple is long out of use, and is presently used as a hall exhibiting calligraphy and various forms of archives: the walls are whitewashed and although it is elegant, it is a pity that its religious nature has disappeared.
Behind the temple building is the towering pagoda, now terribly hemmed in by towerblocks, including one that is a shocking pink colour.
The museum buildings are described separately, but this complex is also home to the newly formed Lanzhou Cultural Heritage Bureau.
