royal palace turn to a temple
Atmosphere is overwhelming ... Although it's flooded with people, they still respect the ascetic lifestyle
An active site of worship, walk through clouds of incense and layers of temple to see the intricate and grand Buddha statues.
Thats one of my fav temples in Beijing. If you can come here during the week. And you cant bring your own incense anymore. But you will get it for free. (After you pay 25RMB for entrance)
One of the most beautiful temple that I visit in beijing, u can pray like locals here n understand how they feel.
Enjoy this place full of #calm and #greatness.
The best temple at Beijing
Ginkgo Avenue of Yonghegong Lama Temple :)
I've spent many days here over my years here in the city. You'll find peace in the smell of the incense and silence within the temples.
Uno de los monasterios tibetanos budistas más grande del mundo!
Большой ламаистский храмовый комплекс с аллеей у входа. Много людей, вход 25 юаней. Каждый следующий храм богаче предыдущего. В самом последнем - огромная статуя стоящего Будды
The hutong across from here is worth the trip alone! Wudaoying hutong is a well hidden gem of beijings expat crowd.
It's a good place to pray!
1) a must-visit in Beijing, if only for its unbelievable buddha statue made entirely of one single piece of sacred tree; 2) must-go place for prayers; 3) avoid the crowd during national holidays
The Temple might ne nothing special. But there are lots of Hutongs in the area. Check em' out!
One of the largest Tibetan Buddhist Monasteries in the world. In the heart of busy Bejing, slow down and reflect on how awesome it is to wander such a historical and spiritual place!
Get off in yonghegong (line 2) pay the ticket, and read a book lying in the quiet areas of this temple
You gotta go there at Chinese New Years'.
