Introduction to Baita Temple: According to legend, it was built to commemorate the famous Tibetan lama who died in Lanzhou in the Yuan Dynasty because he went to Mongolia to meet Genghis Khan. During the Zhengtong period of the Ming Dynasty (1436-1449), it was built for the guarding eunuch Liu Yongcheng. In the fifty-fourth year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1715), Governor Chuoqi added new ones to the old ones, expanded the temple site, and changed its name to Ci'en Temple.
