Ms. Feng introduce us to the well known Llama temple, staging intricate knowledge of emperor who once ruled with knowledge, webbing religion and human existence, extenuating hard time conditions with mains and due course configurating, what could have resulted in wars between mongols and hans, helped stabilize peace, and created dramatic drifts from common faith to future beliefs true to a scripture dynasty.

Today, our team was led to the Yonghe Temple by Director Han from "Xiucai Shuo." He is very knowledgeable about the temple's history and is able to draw the group into the stories and secrets behind it. I would highly recommend people join Director Han's group.

Everywhere is crowded during the Spring Festival, so the travel experience isn't great. I recommend coming back during the off-season. However, the tour guide did their best to explain everything to us!
