The Five-Pagoda Temple is a must-visit destination on a temple tour in Hohhot

The Five-Pagoda Temple in Hohhot is also a stop you must make on a temple tour in Hohhot. Free meals are provided to the public without the need for advance reservations. The overall visitor flow here is not particularly large, but the features are quite good. The most famous aspect is the five pagodas at the very end of the temple, which is also how it got its name. The Five-Pagoda Temple, originally named the Diamond Throne Pagoda, is so called because there are five square relic pagodas on the pagoda base. The base of the Diamond Throne Pagoda is about 1 meter high; the Diamond Throne is a Sumeru base with a girdle, and its girdle part is carved with patterns of lions, elephants, garudas, and vajras. As a national key cultural relics protection unit, it has great historical research value. It is worth taking enough time to visit slowly.
