Discover
the architecture of Lama Temple
The dimensions
of the temple are magnificent, which have five courtyards in a row.
The front structural layout in the temple is bright and spacious dotted
with screen walls with carved murals, lifeless things and decorated
archways. Each hall has a Buddha. In the fifth hall the Buddha is seventy
five feet high and was carved from one piece of Tibetan sandalwood.
Because
the structure once served as an imperial palace, the layout of the temple
is quite different from other temples.
The main
gate faces south, and on its 480-meter-long north-south axis are five
main halls and annexs connected by courtyards. They include a glaze-tiled
arch, Gate of Peace Declaration (Zhaotaimen), Palace of the
Heavenly King (Tianwangdian), which was formerly the entrance to
Yongzheng's imperial palace, Hall of Harmony and Peace (Yonghegong),
The Hall of Eternal Blessing (Yongyoudian), the Hall of the
Wheel of the Law (Falundian) and Pavilion of Eternal Happiness
(Wanfuge).
