Lama temple - hall of the Heavenly kings (gatekeepers)

The tiles of the temple are, the color of the emperor because originally it was a palace of emperor Yongwheng, from the Qing dynasty. As the Manchu emperors had good relations with the Tibetan monks, Yongwheng chooses to give this palace as a donation in 1732 when he moved into the inner city.
Monks are still present today and it is the largest place of Lamaist worship outside Tibet.
