Temple of the Lamas Tickets
Lama Temple, a Buddhist Gem in Beijing
The Yonghe Palace, better known as the Temple of the Lamas, is a unique complex in Beijing, considered the most significant Tibetan Buddhist sanctuary outside Tibet.
With your ticket to the Temple of the Lamas, you can spend around 2 hours exploring its sacred courtyards, filled with the scent of incense, while admiring the architectural details of the pavilions.
We especially recommend visiting the Wanfu Ge Pavilion, which houses a majestic statue of Maitreya, the future Buddha. The sculpture is 18 meters (59 ft) tall and was carved from a single piece of sandalwood. Impressive, isn't it?
The Temple of the Lamas is a unique sanctuary dating back to the 17th century, when this palace was built for Prince Yongzhen and later became an important monastery for Lama monks. You can freely explore the different traditional buildings, including the famous incense burners where worshippers place their incense sticks.
Opening Hours
The Temple of the Lamas in Beijing is open daily from 9 am to 4:30 pm.
Important Info
- Although the ticket price through Civitatis is higher than on the temple’s official website, our booking process is much simpler. During peak periods, it is very difficult to gain entry without a prior reservation. Also, the official website is only available in Chinese and only allows payment via the WeChat app.
- It is important that you provide your correct details when booking, as once the reservation has been made, it cannot be modified.
