Wudang Lamasery, Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Shiguai District, China

The Wudang Lamasery contains multiple halls arranged in ascending order, featuring traditional Buddhist architecture with prayer wheels and bronze lion statues.

The monastery started as a royal palace in 1690 during the Qing Dynasty before Emperor Qianlong transformed it into a temple for Tibetan monks in 1744.

The Hall of Harmony and Peace displays bronze statues representing different Buddhist ages, demonstrating the deep connection between Chinese and Tibetan traditions.

The temple opens daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with an entrance fee of 25 RMB, and visitors can reach it through Line 2 subway to Yonghegong station.

The Pavilion of Ten Thousand Happinesses contains one of the largest wooden Buddha statues in the world, crafted from precious sandalwood.
