Baisha Ancient Town’s architectural complex is made of 2 parts: the folk residence zone, and the cultural sites. The folk residence area is called "Peng Shi Zhi" in the local language, meaning the "White Sand Streets," And all the streets were constructed oriented from north to south. In the town center, there is a square where 3 main avenues intersect. Houses and small stores line up on both sides of the streets, and a crystal-clear brook meanders around all the homes, cutting through the small town from north to south.
At the end of Baisha Old Street, there is a huge cluster of temples that were built in the Yongle era (1402-1424) of the Ming Dynasty. It consists of 3 yards: Sutra Collection Pavilion which is the dooryard, Liuli Temple which is the cloisters, and Dabaoji Palace which is the backyard. The palace occupies an area of about 73 square meters. Among the 28 fresco groups in the palace, with the painting of Sakyamuni explaining the sutra passages to his disciples is the most famous and valuable one. The frescos were created by Han artists in collaboration with Tibetan artists.
