Guanyue Temple 关岳庙 in Beijing


In Nov. 2016, when I stayed at Guanghua Temple 广化寺, I came across Guanyue Temple 关岳庙 nearby. It used to be the designated residence of the Dalai Lama 达赖喇嘛 when he visited Beijing in 1950s and not open to the public. But the buildings are magnificent. It was a family temple of the Qing royal princes.
