Yonghegong, also known as Yonghe Temple (or 雍和宫 in Chinese, the Palace of Peace and Harmony), is a Buddhist temple in the Dongcheng district. It was originally the home of Prince Yong, the fourth son of the Kangxi Emperor, who went on to become the Yongzheng Emperor in 1722. According to tradition, after his residence, the building was converted to a temple and is still used by Tibetan monks and other practitioners of Buddhism. Visit to see the stunning artworks, such as the giant statue of the Maitreya Buddha, or to light some incense and pay your respects.
