Buildings in the old town are simple in style and they were constructed according to the rise and fall of the terrain, which forms a tiered building complex. Three temples: Longwu Temple, Yuantong Temple, and the Mosque, which represent Tibetan Buddhism, Han Buddhism and Muslim, are located on the same street. Their harmonious coexistence goes a long way towards proving the blending and unification of different ethnic groups and cultures can be successful, which constitutes a very rare geo-cultural phenomenon. more about Tong Ren »
