Why go
Over the years, many Tibetan and Mongolian monks lived and taught here, and some are still in residence today. The temple is famous for its 18m (60 ft) statue of Maitreya Buddha carved from a single piece of sandalwood. The temple was saved from destructions during the Cultural Revolution by Zhou Enlai. Visitors are not allowed to take pictures of holy statues inside most of the temples. You can view most of the buildings in an hour or less.
