Was the largest Lama Temple in Beijing in Yuan Dynasty the Baima Temple?
No, it's Baita Temple.

Miaoying Temple, also known as Baita Temple, is located in the north of Inner Street in Beijing. It was founded in Shou Chang in Liao Dynasty for two years, formerly known as Ai 'an Temple. It was rebuilt in the eighth year of Yuan Dynasty, renamed the Great Sage Shouwan 'an Temple, and became a Tibetan Buddhist temple. In the first year of Tianshun in Ming Dynasty, it was rebuilt again and renamed Miaoying Temple. Because there is a Sakyamuni stupa in Liao Temple, it is also called Baita Temple. The White Pagoda was rebuilt in the Yuan Dynasty, and the name of the White Pagoda Temple has been used to this day, becoming a common name in all previous dynasties. In the sense of Tibetan Buddhist temples, it is one of the earliest Tibetan Buddhist temples built in Beijing, and it is also the oldest Tibetan Buddhist temple preserved so far in Beijing history. The current White Pagoda was built in the Yuan Dynasty, and is called "Sakyamuni Bo Wen Pagoda", also known as "Bo Wen Changshou Pagoda" and "Sakyamuni Bo Wen Pagoda". Because of its white body, it is often called "White Pagoda". It was called "Jincheng Jade Pagoda" in Yuan Dynasty, the earliest Tibetan Buddhist pagoda in Beijing, and also considered as the oldest landmark building in Beijing.
