Songzhu Monastery, Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Beijing, China
The Songzhu Monastery contains halls filled with Buddhist statues, traditional decorative elements, and spaces dedicated to meditation and religious ceremonies.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Songzhu Monastery became an important center for the spread of Tibetan Buddhism in northern China.
The monastery maintains a community of monks who conduct daily rituals, teach Buddhist philosophy, and organize educational programs for visitors.
The monastery opens from morning until late afternoon, with guided tours available in multiple languages and a dress code requiring modest clothing.
Within the monastery walls, a special collection of Buddhist manuscripts written in both Chinese and Tibetan languages provides insights into religious translations.
