What makes 4-Hour Private Tour: Lama Temple, Confucius Temple, Guozijian Museum with Dim Sum a unique experience ?
Your English speaking guide will pick you up from your Beijing central hotel, then travel to the Lama Temple (Yonghe Palace), the largest and best preserved lamasery in Beijing. It was converted into lamasery in 1744 and so Yonghe Palace became the national center of Lama administration. The lama temple has been one of the most influential Tibetan Buddhism temples in China. It is today not only a museum of Tibetan Buddhism but also a functioning temple where people pray.
Follow your tour guide to explore different courtyards and buildings, admire the Buddhist statues, see how the locals worship in the temple, get to know the religious in China, and learn many stories behind.
Finally, be amazed by the statue of the Buddha Maitreya in the hall, which carved from one precious white sandalwood log from Nepal, is the biggest wooden Buddha in the world.
Next, walking through a beautiful and quiet street to discover the Temple of Confucius and Imperial College (Guozijian Museum), where the emperor expounded the Confucian classics to an audience of thousands of kneeling students, professors and court officials – an annual rite. Built by the grandson of Kublai Khan in 1306, the former college was the supreme academy during the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
