Lamaism. Situated in the northeast part of Beijing city,
it was originally built in 1694 as the residence of the Qing Emperor Yongzheng
before he ascended the throne and was renamed Yonghegong later. After
he passed away in 1735 his coffin was once placed there. Emperor Qianlong,
the successor, changed his father's old residence into the Lama Temple
In 1744 because the dead Emperor believed in Lamaism when he was alive.
Like other Buddhist temples, the Lama Temple has a lot of buildings and
enshrined many Buddha statues. But the architecture style is very unique.
The Tibetan style and Chinese style were well combined each other. The
most famous Buddha statue, carved from one piece of tree, which was listed
in Guinness Record, is the statue of Maitreya Buddha. The statue is 18
meters above ground and 8 meters underground. In the temple you can see
a lot monks and a lot of Buddhists to present incense, which is very interesting.
