The spatial characteristics of Lanzhou City, "two mountains and one river", determine the layout of the mountain parks on both sides of Lanzhou. They are built on the mountain, and the scenic spots are built on the high points of the mountain system to form a mutual view relationship with the opposite mountain, and form a visual corridor. Standing on the top of the mountain to observe the urban landscape pattern, it presents an introverted and two-way visual space type. There are many types of buildings in Baitashan Park. There are not only six Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings, including Baita Temple (Ci'en Temple), Sanxing Hall, Sanguan Hall, Fayu Temple, Yunyue Temple and Fenglinxiangniao Archway, but also the "Jiuqu Anlan" open hall, the second archway, and the third hall, which were relocated and rebuilt in 1958.
