Yonghegong is a famous lamasery located in the northeastern part of the old city of Beijing. It was a palatial residence built in 1694 by Qing Emperor Kangxi for his fourth son, Prince Yongzheng who later succeeded to the throne. This magnificent temple consists of five main buildings lying on the north-south axis, with annex halls standing on both sides. The temple is listed by the Chinese Government as one of the important historical monuments under special preservation.
After the death of his father, Emperor Yongzheng moved to the Forbidden City. The compound was closed to ordinary people and was renamed Yonghegong (the Palace of Harmony). Green roof tiles were replaced by yellow ones to suit a monarch's home. In 1744 his successor Emperor Qianlong converted the palace into a lamasery.
Several renovations have been carried out since 1949. The temple has taken on a new look and was reopened to the public in 1981. It is now not only a functional lama temple, but also a tourist attraction.
Of interest to visitors in the Lama Temple are the 18-metre-high Maitreya statue engraved from a 26-metre-long white sandal-wood log, "the Five hundred Arhats Hill" made of gold, silver, copper, iron and tin, and the niche carved out of nanmu (this kind of Phoebe nanmu can give off a unusual scent reputed to repel mosquitoes in summer). These three objects are accredited as the three matchless masterpieces in the Lama Temple.
雍和宫旧址原为明代内官监官房。清康熙三十二年(l693年)，成为皇四子胤禛的府邸。宫位于北京市东城区内城的东北角即雍和宫大街路东，是北京市内最大的藏传佛教寺院，1983年被国务院确定为汉族地区佛教全国重点寺院。该寺院主要由三座精致的牌坊和五进宏伟的大殿组成。从飞檐斗拱的东西牌坊到古色古香东、西顺山楼共占地面积66，400平方米，有殿宇千余间。创建於清康熙年间，距今已有300年历史。雍正驾崩后，乾隆将雍和宫改建为藏传喇嘛寺。
