Lama Temple: Tibetan Statues, Giant Buddha & Sandalwood Incense
★4.9(2170)
Step into the most impressive Tibetan temple outside Tibet. The 18-meter-tall Maitreya Buddha, carved from a single piece of sandalwood, is the real flex here. Buy incense at the entrance and watch the locals at prayer before exploring the five main halls. Spend about two hours wandering the courtyard. Skip the heavy weekend crowds and aim for a weekday morning. A private tour often includes the nearby Hutong alleys—highly worth it for the local snack scene.
