The original name of the White Temple is Bailong Temple, also known as Longkun Temple, Lingguang Temple and Walongkun. From a distance, the temple appears to be constructed of gleaming porcelain, but upon stepping in, the illusion is created by white paint and glass sequins. The White Temple is made of plain white and bordered by a silver mirror, which quietly reflects the dazzling light. It has no place inlaid with gold, silver and white like a fibrous hand, reaching out to the sky softly. The White Temple adds a lot of modern elements. According to the designer, white is chosen because white just symbolizes the purity of the Buddha, and the omnipresent mirror means that the wisdom of the Buddha illuminates the entire universe.
