Introduction to Baba Temple: Located at the southern foot of Panlong Mountain in the northeastern suburbs of Langzhong City, it is also known as "Jiuzhao Pavilion" and has a history of more than 300 years. The temple consists of a mountain gate, a screen wall, an archway, a main hall, a flower hall, a well pavilion and a garden. It is a rare Islamic architectural complex in China. The temple gate is brilliant and solemn, the corners of the pavilion are raised, and the ocher pillars are green. Entering the temple gate, you will see the brick-carved and water-milled screen wall built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It is about 10 meters long and 6 meters high. It has a gable-style roof on the top and brick imitation wood brackets under the eaves. The wall is decorated with reliefs, round carvings and hollow carvings. The flowers, trees, bamboos, chrysanthemums and landscape pavilions created with other techniques are truly unique. The main hall is the main building in the temple and is the tomb of Abdullahi. The tomb chamber is very special. The tomb coffin is suspended above the indoor well (spring). The top of the temple is a helmet-shaped dome building with four ridges and pointed peaks, like the sky. The doors, windows, walls and lintels are exquisitely carved, painted and gilded. Behind the main hall is a flower hall with a painting hall, which is simple, bright and clean. It contains many steles, plaques, calligraphy and paintings, most of which are paintings and calligraphy by Ming and Qing dynasties. The temple is surrounded by green trees inside and outside, with towering ancient trees. Bamboo, cypress, couplets and osmanthus cover the temple in the green.
