Flexible organisation - Great experience for the visit of the temple of the Lamas, thanks to the flexibility for the acquisition of the ticket, it was possible to change the date and be able to see the temple on the best day up to a few days before, receiving a QR code for remote entry a few days before.

Incense ritual - The QR code works very well, once the portals are past do not forget to take the incense sticks that are offered to you you you will see everyone takes, you will thus be able to do the ritual of incense, the different temples are beautiful and in the last one there is the Buddha of 18m high ..

History of Buddhism in China - The Temple of the Lama is a very beautiful place and with a very rich history about Buddhism in China. It has several buildings and historic rooms and rich in beautiful details of the history of this religion. The high point is the 18 meter tall Buddha statue.
