In the Zhungaarzhao Temple and the Merigen Temple (Figure 16), Only the
main buildings are arranged along the axis, and as the building moves away from
the axis, low-level buildings are freely allocated. The walls surrounding the site, the
Monastery Gate, the Bell Tower, and the Drum Tower are omitted, and the Hutuhetu
Hall is located away from the Mahavira Hall. Through these characteristics, the two
temples can be regarded as the Compromise temple style.

Both temples are in the western region. In particular, the construction of
Zhungaarzhao Temple was built shortly after the introduction of Buddhism by the
Mongolian Khan at that time, but it was a certain distance from the middle region.
And the Merigen Temples was also built by the nobles in the western region³0.
Therefore, the construction of the Mahavira Hall was not confined to Integrated
Type but Separated Type. Combined with the Tibetan temples style, all buildings
are not rigidly adhered to the axis.
