Discover its history from imperial residence to Tibetan Buddhist temple

The Lama Temple was built in 1694, the 33rd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. Originally the residence of Emperor Yongzheng before he took the throne, it was converted into an imperial palace in 1725 and became a Tibetan Buddhist temple in 1744 under Emperor Qianlong.

Walk from the three archways to the Four Study Halls

The complex includes three archways, the Yonghe Gate, the Yonghe Palace, the "Four Study Halls" (medicine, mathematics, esoteric Buddhism and lectures) and three exhibition halls. The blend of Han, Manchu, Tibetan and Mongolian styles is a unique feature of the site.
