It is today not only a museum of Tibetan Buddhism but also a functioning temple where people pray.

I highly highly recommend this tour. Lucy was amazing and so knowledgeable on the Temples we visited. The history and the stories were absolutely fascinating and definitely worth doing the tour and walking through the streets and talking about the history of the area was amazing. We finished our tour with a Dim Sum dinner that Lucy ordered and everything was out of this world.
I highly recommend this tour.

We were not informed that the hotel pick up was one way only and in fact, we were made to travel to the temple via train as the tour guide told us that’s the way to avoid the jam. The guide could have given us more information on the places of interest.

This tour brought us to 2 amazing temples and the Imperial Museum. The gigantic Buddha in the Confucius Temple is not to be missed! Albert was very knowledgeable and caring guide who led us at a pace that suited us. The dim sum dinner at the end of the tour was actually wonderful and Albert kept ordering more dishes for us to make sure we tried a big variety. He then made sure we got into a cab with directions to our hotel. The tour involves lots of walking but definitely worth it! Ask for Albert!
