The Yonghe Temple is arranged along a north–south central axis, which has a length of 480 metres, and covers an area of 66,400 square meters. The main gate, the Gate of Clarity and Prosperity ("Zhaotaimen") is at the southern end of this axis, alongside with three memorial archways in the front. And a path built for imperial carriages ("Niandao") is situated between the front memorial archway and the Gate of Clarity and Prosperity. Along the axis, there are five main halls which are separated by courtyards: the "Gate Hall of Harmony and Peace" ("Yonghemendian"), the "Hall of Harmony and Peace" ("Yonghegong"), the "Hall of Everlasting Protection" ("Yongyoudian"), the "Hall of the Wheel of the Law" ("Falundian"), and the "Pavilion of Ten Thousand Happinesses" ("Wanfuge").
