Three Pure Ones
Like most other Chinese temples, the White Cloud Temple is laid out on a north-south axis, with the entrance at the south end. There are five main halls built upon the main axis, beginning with the Main Gate, Yuhuang Hall , "Hall of the Jade Emperor"), Laolü Hall ), Qiuzu Hall (, "Hall of the Venerable Qiu"), and finally the Sanqing Hall , "Hall of the Three Pure Ones"). On either side of the main axis are two smaller axes, each containing halls dedicated to a variety of deities. In the rear of the complex is a garden which hosts the abbey’s ordination platform.
