The oldest presence of Tibetan Buddhism in Beijing, Baita Si dates back to the Mongol-controlled Yuan dynasty. The iconic structure was designed by a Nepalese architect, and legend has it that Kublai Khan had arrows shot in the four cardinal directions to determine its bounds. Today, it houses a collection of Tibetan Buddhist sculptures and other artwork.
