Mamen’s description: “Bayan Chagan Sume.”

This temple was consisted of jin gang hall, main hall, hall for the images and houses for lamas to live. Usually those halls of a monastery are arranged layer by layer with a yard between any two of them. This can be the hall for the images since it is in the most inside of the Monastery compound. This is the fourth alternation of the Ölet Banner monastery of which the formal name was “Yan Xi Si” that was given by the Manchu emperor Qian Long at the first built. The monastery had been rebuilt at lest four times including a yurt type. [U. Borjigin 7/1/2002]
