Yonghe Temple (Lama Temple)
Introduction
Yonghe Temple (Lama Temple) is located in Dongcheng District, Beijing. Originally built in 1694 as the residence of Prince Yong (later Emperor Yongzheng), it was converted into a Tibetan Buddhist lamasery in 1744. It is the largest and best-preserved Tibetan Buddhist temple in Beijing. The temple's highlight is a 26 m tall statue of the Maitreya Buddha in the Wanfu Pavilion, carved from a single white sandalwood tree — a breathtaking sight. The annual 'Devil Dance' ceremony in late winter is a major attraction.
