Yonghe Lamasery

Yonghegong Lamasery, a renowned lama temple of the Yellow Hat Sect of Lamaism, is situated in the northeast part of Beijing. It was originally built in 1694 as the residence of the Qing Emperor Yongzheng before he ascended the throne and was renamed Yonghegong. After Yongzheng's death in 1735, his coffin was placed in the temple. In 1744, it was converted into a lamasery and became a residence for large numbers of monks from Mongolia and Tibet.
