Beijing Day Tour - Panda House, Hutong, Lama Temple

OVERVIEW

Beijing Zoo comprises 16 different exhibition areas and halls. The most popular is the Panda Hall. Built in 1989 and covering an area of around 2.5 acres (10,000 square meters), it delivers an impressive aesthetic scene while also managing to account for the practical considerations of housing such large and physical animals. The inside of the hall replicates the style of traditional Chinese gardens and is shaped in the pattern of a Tai Chi diagram. Lama Temple/The Yonghe Temple, also known as the Yonghe Lamasery or popularly as the Lama Temple, is a temple and monastery of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism located on 12 Yonghegong Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing. The building and artwork of the temple are a combination of Han Chinese and Tibetan styles. This building is one of the largest Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in China proper. The Yonghe Temple is the highest Buddhist temple in the country during the middle and late in Qing dynasty. In the Hutong, ride the rickshaw to the old hutong area with your guide and walk through 300-year-old hutongs. A visit to a local family whose ancestors lived in the hutongs for generations, where they offer a local perspective on history.
