The Lama Temple (Yong He Gong) in Beijing is the biggest Zen Buddhist Temple outside of Tibet. The dimensions of the temple are extraordinary. It has five courtyards in a row. The front structural layout of the temple is large and bright. It is characterized by sculpted walls with bas-reliefs, statues and decorated arches. The internal floor leads to the main rooms. Evergreen pines and cypress trees help create a peaceful and secluded environment. The rear structural layout is composed of a group of buildings, halls and pavilions that merge with each other. Gutters and ridges facing upwards and are beautifully intertwined, forming a suggestive architecture. As it is one of the most important places of worship in Beijing, dedicating some time to it is a must. The vision of the impressive Buddha sculptures, accompanied by the smell of incense, offers the possibility to experience the religious fervour of the Chinese up close. Opening hours: Daily 09:00-16:00 Photo credit: Sergio Capuzzimati on unsplash.com
