The pagoda was originally wrapped in silver skin. Later, during the tenth Ganden Tripa Gendun Phuntsog (also known as "Yixi Baisang"), it is said that Lobsang Tenzin (the grandson of Gushi Khan) named him the Qinghai area. One year's taxes were turned into gold, which was all wrapped around the tower and decorated with precious jewelry, making it an extremely gorgeous gold tower. In 1921, the 13th Dalai Lama (Thubten Gyatso) repaired the pagoda hall, making its appearance more gorgeous. There are also 7 towers of ancestors such as Jiangyang Zanggu on the left and right sides of the spiritual pagoda.

Since then, each Ganden Tripa built a spiritual pagoda in this hall after his death. By the eve of liberation, 95 spiritual pagodas had been built.
