Temple of the Lamas Tour

Temple of the Lamas Tour

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the Lama Temple metro station. Once everyone has arrived, we'll enter the most important Tibetan Buddhist shrine outside of Tibet, the Lama Temple.

We'll make our way to the Yonghe Palace, also known as the Temple of the Lamas. It has a rich history and stunning beauty.

We'll travel back to the 17th century to learn about the palace's original construction for Prince Yongzhen and its later transformation into a significant monastery for Lama monks. As we explore, we’ll see iconic features like the incense burners, where devotees place their incense sticks.

During the tour, we’ll enter the Falun Dian, home to a massive 6-meter (19-foot) bronze statue of Tsongkapa, the founder of the Yellow Bonnet Sect. We’ll also explore the Wanfu Ge Pavilion, the Great Hall, the Yongyou Hall, and the Hall of Happiness.

After fully exploring the Temple of the Lamas, we'll end the tour 2 hours later.
