Behind it is a mountain of 500 arhats carved from red sandalwood, which is of great artistic value. 👉Buddhist items There are 3 Buddhist item shops in Yonghe Temple. ▶️Buddhist Item Shop 1: On the west side of the entrance. No ticket is required, but there are fewer items. ▶️Buddhist Item Shop 2: Next to Zhaotai Gate. There are many items, but it is crowded. ▶️Buddhist Item Shop 3: On the west side of Yongyou Hall. There are fewer people, but it is small and close to the consecration room. Most people buy bracelets for themselves. This time, I found a "Yonghe Xi Tea" gift box, which is perfect for giving to elders and friends during the New Year. 👉Consecration Consecration is free. 🆓 You can bring your own items or buy bracelets or car hangings at the Buddhist item shop. There is a consecration room next to the west wing hall. It is crowded, so you need to line up.
