Many Beijing residents came to the Yonghegong Lamasery to burn joss sticks and pray for harmony and peace. The Yonghegong Lamasery, an imperial monastery in the Qing Dynasty, saw waves of people on the Lunar New Year's Day on Feb. 3, 2011, China Tibet Online reported.

The people who came to burn joss sticks in the Yonghegong Lamasery on China's Lunar New Year's Day has amounted to 66,000, the highest figure in history, according to a staff member of the Lamasery.

The Yonghegong Lamasery will see another peak time when residents flood to burn joss sticks on the fifteenth day of the first month on the lunar calendor, also known as the Lantern Festival.
