Hello friends! Todays blog is about the nearest main sightseeing from our Beijing appartment. The Yonghegong Lamasery is within walking distace for us. though this time we used our bicycles through the nice Hutongs. No other way to get around is better. Lot's of shops surrounds the temple. There you can buy souvenirs and smoke sticks. The weather is as always this time of the year hot. We had 31 degrees this day on my last visit. Nice for taking some good pictures to bring home.
The Yonghegong Lamasery was originally a prince palace, but later changed into a lama tempel. It's the largest lama tempel i northern China. Many tourists go there for a visit, but particularily many young chinese worshipers go there to pay tribute to their believes. And it's nearly in our backyard! They bring their smoke sticks, and kneal to pray. I also pray there every year I go to Beijing. Now that's it for todays blog.
Love Peter
