    Lama Temple

    Wan was very knowledgeable about the LamaTemple and the different Buddhist beliefs and practices. She was friendly and flexible with our tour accommodations.

    This tour was one of the...

    This tour was one of the best we did in Beijing thanks to our wonderful guide Wan. She was amazing in her explanations about the temple, budism and Chinese traditions, we learned a lot and also had a great time walking through Hutongs with less turistic and more authentic environments. She also recommended local delicious restaurants and bar, which we could not have found by ourselves. All in all, our highest recommendation to her!

    A perfect tour of Beijing with a remarkable guide

    We had a great day with Wan, who introduced us to several of Beijing’s iconic places. The quality of her knowledge made this visit perfect: she has a perfect command of English, and her level of understanding of Chinese culture and Buddhism allowed rich and always very fluid exchanges. The tour is advertised as a “Feng Shui” tour, but it is very reductive. Above all, we discovered a large part of the city through the prism of Chinese history and philosophies. We warmly recommend Wan to anyone wishing to discover Beijing. Thank you again for this day!

    An exceptional guide, far beyond just a simple tour

    We took part in a tour called “Feng Shui” with Wan, but what we experienced went far beyond that. It was a true immersion into Chinese culture, Buddhism, and daily life in Beijing. She introduced us to the Lama Temple, guided us through the hutongs, and shared her knowledge with passion and simplicity. Wan took her time — two extra hours beyond the scheduled duration, without ever asking for anything in return — to make this visit truly unforgettable. She is a warm, curious, generous, and deeply genuine person. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an authentic and meaningful experience in Beijing. Thank you for this unique and memorable moment!

    Lama Temple Tour with Tickets: Beijing's Hidden Mystical World: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.

    How much does Lama Temple Tour with Tickets: Beijing's Hidden Mystical World cost?

    +

    Prices start at $523 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Beijing usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Lama Temple Tour with Tickets: Beijing's Hidden Mystical World take?

    +

    Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Beijing is not rushed.

    Is Lama Temple Tour with Tickets: Beijing's Hidden Mystical World worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Beijing, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Lama Temple Tour with Tickets: Beijing's Hidden Mystical World?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Lama Temple Tour with Tickets: Beijing's Hidden Mystical World suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Lama Temple Tour with Tickets: Beijing's Hidden Mystical World?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Beijing can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Beijing and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Lama Temple Tour with Tickets: Beijing's Hidden Mystical World start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Beijing within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Beijing?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Beijing experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mubus: Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour with Summer Palace Options, Beijing: Top 6 Highlights All Inclusive 2-Day Private Tour, Private Mutianyu Great Wall Trip With English-Speaking Driver. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Beijing?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Beijing?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
