If you have the time, a visit here to see a genuine Buddhist temple is definitely worth your time. There are multiple statues of the Buddha and people are burning incense and praying. It is both different and yet similar to our western religions and really was of interest, even to my teenagers. more

Lama Temple (Yonghegong) is a delightful temple complex that is large and fun to explore. At least on the day that I went, it was not overrun with tourists--in fact, prostrating practitioners and monks probably approached the number of tourists. The highlight of this temple is clearly the awe-inspiring statue of Buddha, but many of the other buildings are also... more

清静的树林，规整的寺庙，香客络绎不绝，藏传佛教的浓厚气息。不管信与不信，都可以在这虔诚之地诉说心中的愿望，感受心灵的洗涤。想起藏地寺庙的洒脱，雍和宫比不上其层错有致，但却显出皇家的端庄。喧闹的都市里，此景堪比卢浮前的金字塔，卓尔不群。 more

雍和宫是皇帝的家庙，值得一去。里面的建筑、工艺品、大佛都是非常于众不同的。每一样都精雕细酌。 more

08年七月去了一趟雍和宫，怀着烧香拜佛，祈福转运的目的去的。从五号线雍和宫站出来走了大概200米到了雍和宫的入口。入口有点窄，停了好些大巴车。雍和宫的门票很有意思，是个光盘的形式，可以播放哦。进入雍和宫，就一座佛一座佛开始跪拜，无比虔诚啊。来来往往的不只是善男信女，还有很多外国游客，瞻仰中国的佛像雕塑。雍和宫的建筑延续了中国精巧... more

去雍和宫是去年暑假的事情了，当时是姐姐带我去的，在那里玩得很开心，现在还记忆犹新。 雍和宫拥有众多极具特色的佛教文物,有许多都是很罕见的,应该去看看,很长见识.而且可以为自己和家人祈福（据说很灵验) 我唯一不满意的一点就是那里太大了，走走逛逛，脚都疼了。 more
