Wuta Si, also called Jingangzuo Sheli Baota,
is seated in Wuta Jie, the southeastern part of the old town. It used
to be a part of Cideng Temple (Cideng Si), whose other parts have all
ruined.
As Jinggangzuo Sheli Baota has five small
square-shaped dagobas on its top, it is named Wuta Si. The fifty two-feet-tall
temple is decorated with glazed tiles. The lower part has many designs
related to Buddhism and Jingang Scripture written in Mongolian, Tibetan
and Chinese. More than one thousand gold-plating figures of the Buddha
are molded in upper tiers, small but exquisite.
The most valuable stonecutting is the one
carved on the northern wall. It is the only astronomical map annotated
in Mongolian so far found in the world.
