Temple of Eternal Peace (Yong’an) is situated at the southern edge of White Dagoba Hill. Originally named White Dagoba Temple, it was built in 1651 by Qing emperor Fu Lin at the suggestion of Tibetan Lama Naomuhan. Initially, the temple included the following buildings: Hall of True Enlightenment, Hall of Universal Peace, Hall of Great Attainment, Hall of Mirror, corner rooms, hill rooms and the White Dagoba. The Hall of True Enlightenment was the temple entrance at that time. The temple was given its present name in 1741; the Hall of the Wheel of Dharma, Bell Tower, Drum Tower and a new temple gate were added in 1743. In 1751, the Hall of Good Cause, Pavilion of Enchanting Scenes, and Pavilion of Refreshing Mist were built, respectively housing stone tablets erected in 1774 bearing inscriptions "Note on White Dagoba Hill" and "Note on the Surroundings of White Dagoba Hill" in Emperor Qianlong’s calligraphy. Over the years, some buildings and statues in this magnificent religious complex were destroyed. In 1993, the entire architectural complex was restored to its past splendor.
