Hure Three Temples
库伦三大寺
A group of Qing-era Tibetan Buddhist temples in Hure, including Xingyuan, Fuyuan and Xiangjiao temples. It is a national-level key cultural heritage site.
Hure Banner was once the only theocratic lamaist banner in Southern Mongolia during the Qing dynasty. In Hure Town, where the banner seat is located, three adjoining temples remain: Xingyuan Temple, Fuyuan Temple, and Xiangjiao Temple, collectively known as the Hure Three Temples. The complex is a national-level key cultural heritage site. Xingyuan Temple was first built in the early Qing period. Its architecture blends Han Chinese hall design with Tibetan style, and its halls contain murals, woodcarvings and Buddha statues. The old streets around the temples offer local snacks, such as Hure buckwheat noodles. A visit takes about 1.5 hours. The site is about 40 km from Daqinggou and can be combined with the Tamin Chagan Desert for a southern-route day trip. Admission is set on site. Photography is not allowed inside the halls, and visitors should walk clockwise around them.
