Description
Explore the Lama Temple, also known as Yonghe Temple, in Beijing. Admire the unique religious architecture and rich cultural heritage of this historic site.
Discover the Lama Temple, a renowned Tibetan Buddhist temple in Beijing, built in 1694 during the 33rd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. Originally the residence of Emperor Yongzheng before his ascension, it was converted into an imperial palace in 1725 and later into a Tibetan Buddhist temple in 1744 during Emperor Qianlong’s reign.
The temple complex features three intricately designed archways, the Yonghe Gate, the Yonghe Palace Hall, and the 'Four Learning Halls' (Hall of Medicine Buddha, Mathematics Hall, Tantric Hall, and Lecture Hall), along with three exhibition rooms.
The architecture reflects the blend of Han, Manchu, Tibetan, and Mongolian styles, showcasing its grand design. Inside the halls, visitors can find a wealth of Buddha statues, thangkas, and precious artifacts, including the renowned 18-meter-tall sandalwood Buddha, which holds a place in the Guinness World Records since 1990.
