Lama Temple (Yonghegong), Beijing

One of my best memories in Beijing This Temple is one of the main attractions in Beijing, and this is well deserved. Its architecture is beautiful and the atmosphere is not really touristic but solemnly religious. You can be the judge of that by the pictures I have attached. You are surrounded by the delicate smoke of the incense sticks ... By people praying ... And as usual in China, at least as far as I could see, silence, order, no hustle bustle or pushing here... The site is really special: you have there gardens, statues, more statues, flowers, hall of prayers, the very special atmosphere of the Temples we were looking to visit in China ... So much different than our Western civilization. Beijing, Shanghai and so many other Chinese city are becoming so modern so fast ... I have already written this in my other reviews ... But here, In the Lama Temple you can find at least the Far atmosphere we were actually looking for when we decided to go visit China ... If you like it as we do ... then do not miss the Lama Temple.

Historical temple of worship. Some of the best preserved temple / accessories of Lama Buddhism. A must go.
