Lama Temple “lucky bracelets”

雍和宫手串

Young Chinese queue for blessed bead bracelets here. A fun souvenir — just buy from the temple, not the street.

The Lama Temple is famous among young Chinese for luck with exams, jobs and love, and blessed bead bracelets sold at the temple’s own shop are a social-media favourite.

They make a nice souvenir. The shops lining Yonghegong Street outside sell look-alikes at inflated “blessed” prices — if you want one, buy it inside.
