Image Records of the Inside and Outside of a Lama Temple in Chengde, Hebei in 1940

In the 1940 old photo of Chengde, Hebei, let’s take a look at the landscape inside and outside a Lama Temple in Chengde 80 years ago (possibly the junction of Pingquan and Lingyuan) and the living images of monks in the temple. The old photos of this group were taken from the Japanese magazine Yadong Prints from August 1924 to 1944. The issue date of the magazine where the photos were taken was September 1940, so the photos of this group were taken before September 1940

The following is the photo preview, and the following is the original annotation translation
