Going to Beijing to offer incense|Beijing|Yonghe Temple 'Yonghe Temple' ·Yonghe Temple was built in the 33rd year of Kangxi (1694), and Kangxi Emperor gave it to his fourth son, Yin Zhen, as the mansion of Prince Yong. ·In the 50th year of Kangxi (1711), Yin Zhen's fourth son, Hongli, was born in Yonghe Palace. ·In the 61st year of Kangxi (1722), Kangxi Emperor passed away and passed the throne to his fourth son, Yin Zhen. The following year, the era name was changed to Yongzheng (1723) ·In the 13th year of Yongzheng (1735), Yongzheng Emperor passed away and passed the throne to his fourth son, Hongli. The following year, the era name was changed to Qianlong (1736) ·In the 9th year of Qianlong (1744), it was rebuilt as a royal temple of Tibetan Buddhism. Qianlong wrote in the 'Yonghe Palace Stele': Yonghe Palace is the blessed place where the previous emperor lived before he ascended the throne, and it is also the place where I was born, grew up, and inherited the empire. According to the ancestral system: the palace where the emperor has achieved great achievements should be respected as a Buddhist place. The conversion of the palace to a temple is not only to worship the ancestors, but also carries a greater significance, carrying the political ambition of governing the country and pacifying the frontier. For nearly 300 years, the morning bells and evening drums have echoed leisurely. Yonghe Palace has witnessed the historical changes of the Chinese land, maintained the peace and unity of the Chinese nation, and played a role in inheriting the Dharma, converting all beings, and solemnizing the national territory. It has now become the most important Buddhist holy place outside Tibet, welcoming believers from all directions to worship, study, and pray for blessings. The Dharma shines like stars, and the achievements are eternally recorded in the long river of history.

There is a mysterious and historical place in Beijing - the Yonghe Palace. This palace is the royal temple of the Qing Dynasty and the highest standard in the country! The location of the Yonghe Palace is super convenient! It is located in the center of Beijing, near the intersection of subway lines 2 and 5, which is the legendary Yonghe Palace Station! Whether by bus or subway, you can easily reach it. The predecessor of this palace was the mansion built by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty for his fourth son, Yin Zhen. It was later changed to a palace in the third year of Yongzheng, which is what we now call the Yonghe Palace. However, it is not an ordinary palace. The main hall of the Yonghe Palace was originally green glazed tiles, but in the thirteenth year of Yongzheng, after the death of Emperor Yongzheng, the coffin was placed here, so the color of the glazed tiles of the main hall was changed to yellow, the same as the specifications of the Forbidden City. The Yonghe Palace not only has a deep historical background, but it is also an excellent place for photography! The east and west Shunshan buildings and three exquisite archways are all full of ancient charm. The red walls and yellow glazed tiles are a vivid picture when put together. When you take pictures here, you are the protagonist of the historical drama!

After a hiatus of seven years, I find myself back in the imperial city of Beijing, where the rain continues to fall as it always has. The northern rain, which I last experienced at the Forbidden City seven years ago, now pours down on the Yonghe Temple. From the royal residence of Emperor Yongzheng to the highest-ranking Buddhist temple in the late Qing Dynasty, the Yonghe Temple, which shares the same grandeur as the Forbidden City, has now become a popular attraction on social media. 【History】 In the 33rd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign (1694), he built a mansion here and bestowed it upon his fourth son, Yin Zhen, which later became the residence of Prince Yong. In the ninth year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (1744), the Yonghe Temple was converted into a Lama Temple, becoming the center of the Qing government's control over Tibetan Buddhism nationwide. Because it was the birthplace of Emperors Yongzheng and Qianlong, it is known as the "Dragon's Hidden Land of Blessing." 【Layout】 The Yonghe Temple mainly consists of three exquisite archways and five grand halls. It covers an area of 66,400 square meters, with over a thousand halls and rooms. The front part includes seven buildings: Zhaotai Gate, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Yonghe Gate, Yonghe Palace, Scripture Hall, and Tantric Hall. The halls in the back rise in succession, symbolizing the solemn auspiciousness of the Buddha's world. 【Highlights】 ⭐Yonghe Palace: The palace has a yellow glazed tile roof with a hip and gable top. Inside, there are three bronze gilded Buddha statues and eighteen Arhat statues covered in gold leaf. ⭐Falun Hall: The "one large, four small" five Tibetan-style skylights on the roof of the hall symbolize Mount Sumeru surrounded by the four continents. ⭐Wanfu Pavilion: Standing 25 meters tall, it is the tallest building in the Yonghe Temple complex. Inside, there is a 26-meter-tall wooden statue of Maitreya Buddha, carved from a single piece of sandalwood. ⭐Three Woodcarving Wonders: The Five Hundred Arhats Mountain, the Sandalwood Buddha (Maitreya Buddha in the Wanfu Pavilion), and the Nanmu Buddha Shrine. PS: The popular "Yonghe Temple Incense Ash Glazed Bead Bracelet" (around 380 yuan) can be purchased at the "Second Dharma Logistics Outlet". After purchase, you can have it blessed in the consecration room. 🚘Address: No. 12 Yonghegong Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing 💵Ticket: 20 yuan 📣Nearby: The Imperial College, Confucius Temple, Bailin Temple, etc.

📍Beijing I didn't manage to get tickets to the Forbidden City, so I went to Jingshan Park to satisfy the craving. The ox-tongue pastries from Daoxiangcun are very tasty, with a hint of pepper. The milk skin yogurt is very thick in texture, look for Ziguangyuan. I've eaten the fatty duck from Quanjude. 🦆 I visited Yonghe Temple, the Zhajiang noodles were very chewy. There wasn't enough time to visit many attractions, looking forward to seeing BEIJING again
