Lama Temple

The Lama Temple is the largest and most perfectly preserved lamasery in present day China. Influences of Han, Manchurian, Mongolian and Tibetan architecture are apparent in this complex that consists of three finely crafted archways and five imposing halls laid out tastefully over an area of 66,400 square meters. Among the treasures in these halls is a 26-metre-tall statue of Maitreya (the Smiling Buddha), which is carved out of a single sandalwood trunk.
