Once the palatial residence of Emperor Yongzheng during his princely years before ascending the throne, Yonghe Temple holds profound historical resonance as the birthplace of his imperial heir, Emperor Qianlong. Today, this majestic complex stands as Beijing’s most celebrated Tibetan Buddhist monastery, where eternal incense smoke curls skyward in devotional harmony. Wander through its hallowed halls to marvel at masterpieces such as the intricate Five Hundred Arhat Mountain, intricately carved from sandalwood; the resplendent sandalwood Buddha niche sculpted from rare silkwood; and the awe-inspiring 18-meter-tall sandalwood Buddha, a towering testament to Qing-era craftsmanship. Each artifact whispers tales of imperial legacy and spiritual devotion, immersing visitors in a sanctuary where history, art, and faith converge.

    Lama Temple (Yonghegong)

    The Lama Temple, originally the residence of Emperor Yongzheng before his ascension, is a Tibetan Buddhist temple that takes you on a journey through time. Admire the gilded memorial archways and the Hall of Heavenly Kings, gaze up at the 26-meter sandalwood Maitreya Buddha in the Wanfu Pavilion, and marvel at the 18-meter gilded bronze statue of Tsongkhapa and the rosewood Arhat Mountain in the Falun Hall. Participate in turning prayer wheels for blessings. Stroll along the nearby Guozijian Street and savor a vegetarian meal at the Lama Temple’s renowned cuisine (paid experience), or try your hand at Thangka painting (paid experience), immersing yourself in the harmonious blend of history and faith. Please note that photography is prohibited inside the halls; maintain silence to fully absorb the sacred atmosphere.
