Helpfulness
There are two Lamaseries, Xilitu Zhao and Da Zhao, across the street from each other. Da is the larger of the two and the second one you should visit. It isn't as real in feeling, and costs more to go in. Xilitu is smaller and in some ways more interesting. It's prayer places are more atmospheric, and when we were there, there seemed to be a healing ritual or ceremony in progress. It felt more authentic, with no window for ticket purchases.
Unique Suggestions: It's not that you shouldn't see these places. They do cost a bit to go in, but if you only want to see one, see the Xilitu Zhao.
The monks might have been real, they might have been performers. The Adidas athletic shoes and non-traditional pants didn't add to the realism of the place, but maybe it did add to the realism of an old, traditional religion in a land of commercialism.
