Beijing landmark
Yonghe Temple (Lama Temple)
A former Qing imperial residence that became a Tibetan Buddhist temple in 1744.
Use 雍和宫 as the destination. Beijing Tourism identifies the site at 12 Yonghegong Street and directs metro riders to Yonghegong Station on Lines 2 or 5, Exit C. Its visitor history describes the site as a Qing imperial residence before it became a lama temple in 1744; Beijing’s municipal visitor guide calls Yonghe Temple the city’s largest and most significant Tibetan Buddhist temple. Check live visitor guidance before travel rather than relying on static ticket or entry information.
