Yonghe Gong
 

Description

Built in 1694, the Yonghe Gong (Lama Temple) was the residence of Prince Yin Zhen, a son of Emperor Kang Xi of the Qing Dynasty. For many years, it was the leading center for Yellow Hat Shamanism, a distinctive branch of Tibetan Buddhism. It features five large halls and five courtyards with beautifully decorative archways, upturned eaves and carved details. Also known as the Palace of Peace and Harmony, this site houses a treasury of Buddhist art, including sculptured images of Gods, demons and Buddhas, as well as Tibetan-style murals.

the place to go at 4pm on a sunny day
By ,
Go there in the afternoon. When the sun is south west to west. IMpressive. See the light through the smoke columns, the gold spattering off the roof rims... the red is deeper than you can imagine. It is really a great place to taste China's buddhist culture. Too bad they're now going to build some highrise on the west side... Hard to choose which place I like better... Yonghegong (Lamatemple) holds ex eaquo places with dashalan...

MUST GO!
By ,
Must see....impressive buddha made from log, wonderful finishings, etc. You will understand why it is in the guiness record when you see it! A tour guide to explain the history and understanding how the buddha was made is required.
