The Lama Temple 雍和宫

Follow the courtyards of Yonghegong at the pace of a religious place, pausing at the halls rather than collecting every photograph. Its Tibetan Buddhist character makes it a different experience from Beijing's imperial palace sites. It works especially well for someone interested in living practice as well as architecture.
