Putuo Zongcheng Temple, located in Chengde, China, is a grand Tibetan Buddhist temple complex built during the Qing Dynasty in the 18th century. It was commissioned by Emperor Qianlong in 1771 to celebrate his 60th birthday and the 80th birthday of his mother. The temple's design is inspired by the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet, and it serves as a symbol of the unity between the Han Chinese and Tibetan cultures. The temple features a harmonious blend of traditional Han and Tibetan architectural styles, with its golden rooftops, intricate woodwork, and vibrant murals.
