The overall arrangement consists of three parts: the front part, the middle part and the back part. The front part begins at the five-hole stone bridge in front of the temple, including the mountain gate, stele pavilion and five-tower gates. In the middle, there are colored glaze archway and tower-courts of the white platform. The big red platform at the back is the main body of the building group. The mountain gate and the stele pavilion follow the way of Han style in building palaces during the Qing dynasty. And there are inscriptions and carvings in characters used by Man people, Han people, Mongolians and Tibetans in the pavilion, like A Record of Putuozongcheng Temple, A Record of Tu¡¯erhute Tribe Coming Over and Pledging Allegiance and A Record of Showing solicitude for Tu'erhute Tribe. These inscriptions are of precious historical value.
On the flat-roof platform in north of the pavilion, five Lama Towers were successively set up in different colors: black, white, yellow, green and red.
