The Lama Temple is Beijing's largest temple and one of the main sights of the city. You can easily spend several hours exploring the temples, buildings, gates and gardens and watching the monks.
On a cold December day, I decided to go to the Lama Temple. Snow blowing around me, and with my hands deep in my gloves, I entered this temple without realizing I was going to be in for several hours. The lane leading to the entrance proper is of the long, tree-lined type, and the fresh snow on the ground and the branches of the trees gave it a very wintery appearance. When I entered the main courtyard, I first looked at the pavillions or towers, among them the Bell Tower, the Drum Tower, and the Porridge Pot. The latter was apparently used by a Lama to make porridge and distribute it among the people.
