Yonghe Temple Walk
In Yonghe Temple, the walk is not only architectural. Many visitors follow it as a quiet path of wishes: peace at the sutra halls, health before the Medicine Buddha, release from worries in the main hall, wisdom near Suicheng Hall, and blessings beneath the great presence of Wanfuge.
