It combines a Tibetan Buddhism museum and an active temple. Admire the Buddha Maitreya statue, carved from a single sandalwood log from Nepal, the world's largest wooden Buddha. The architecture here is a fascinating blend of Han and Tibetan styles, with each hall housing unique religious artefacts. The air is filled with the fragrance of burning incense, creating a truly immersive spiritual experience.​
