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.
I watched one of the large incense burners outside the entrance of the first hall, with faces of praying people and a monk partly hidden by the incense smoke. From here, I explored all temples and halls, in which photography is unfortunately not allowed. I saw small exhibitions, artwork, tapestries, and in one of the last halls, the giant Buddha, made of one piece of sandalwood, and 18 metres high. An imposing sight, a giant Buddha, Maitreya Buddha. looking down in a friendly way, with his enormous hands calming those looking up at him.
