Yonghe Temple: A Historic Tibetan Buddhist Monastery in Beijing

Yonghe Temple (雍和宫), also known as the Lama Temple, is one of Beijing’s most prominent and well-preserved Tibetan Buddhist monasteries. Originally built as an imperial palace during the Qing Dynasty in 1694, it was later converted into a monastery in 1744. The temple showcases a stunning fusion of Han Chinese and Tibetan architectural styles, with its vibrant red walls, gilded rooftops, and intricately carved wooden details. #travel#thingstodo#myitinerary#china
