Fuzheng Temple (Baotou Zhao)
福徵寺
A Tibetan Buddhist temple in Donghe's old town, commonly called “Baotou Zhao.” Together with Zhuanlongzang, it bears witness to old Baotou's saying that temples came before the city.
Fuzheng Temple is located on North Liang in Donghe District, and is commonly known as “Baotou Zhao.” Built in the Qing dynasty, it is one of the most important surviving Tibetan Buddhist temples in Baotou's urban area. Old Baotou has a saying: “temples came before the city.” The development of Donghe District was closely tied to the temples, merchant houses and Zouxikou migrants. The temple has been restored in recent years. Its main hall blends Han and Tibetan styles, and visitors can see Buddha statues, thangkas and religious ceremonies. The surrounding North Liang area is being redeveloped into a historic district. A visit takes about one hour, and admission is subject to information on site. It can be combined with the nearby Zhuanlongzang Park and Lüzu Temple for a half-day tour of Donghe's old town.
