Easy ticket experience! WeChat mini app wouldn’t take passports so used this instead. Bought them 90 minutes before the temple opened and had them well in advance.
We really appreciate your lovely feedback! It’s wonderful to hear you easily secured your tickets last minute, and our service solved the passport booking issue you encountered with the mini-program. The magnificent giant wooden Buddha inside Lama Temple is absolutely breathtaking, and we hope you enjoyed exploring this peaceful historic temple.
