There are three North rooms with one Nepalese style pagoda on each side. In front of the door and window, there are five colors of Sutra flags and some Sutra cloth representing "heaven, earth, water, fire and wind". In front of the house is a small courtyard composed of three walls about two meters high, with an area of more than 20 square meters. On the south side of the half wall on the west side, the skulls were built like bricks, one layer at a time. There were probably more than 200 skulls. The eye socket of black hole hole, the mouth of pyralid opens, facing the door and window. In front of the wall are several large flat stones, which are used as "cutting boards" for dismembering corpses. It is said that when Princess Wencheng came to Tibet, she thought this place was a geomantic treasure land, so she entrusted her "Lunbu" to build the temple here, and was presided over by the living Buddha Dabu. The practice of celestial burial and skull preservation is only about one hundred and thirty years old. It is still a puzzling mystery why skulls are preserved in the celestial burial here.
