  The Pearl Temple, known in Tibetan as "Jokjok Lhakhang." Sakya Pandita Kunga Gyeltsen, invited by Köden, traveled to the Amdo region via Qinghai and once visited Guide. Using a load of pearls gifted by Köden as funding, he built the temple here, which has a history of 740 years. It houses giant statues of the Three Buddhas, exquisitely crafted, and holds religious significance second only to the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa, Tibet. Managed by Gongba Monastery, the temple features a main hall with six rooms, a Guanyin Hall with twelve rooms, and twelve side rooms. The roof of the main hall is covered with glazed tiles, and there is a gilded stupa adorned with cannons.
