I want to go to the Lama Temple and ask someone for an amulet, the kind I wear around my neck. I wonder how much it will cost to go there.

If you want an amulet, you can go to the Buddhist shop in Yonghe Palace Street and ask for an amulet first. The price depends on what you buy. There are many shops and amulets. If it's cheaper than ten dollars, it's usually tens of dollars. Personally, I suggest you buy it in a store outside the Lama Temple. There are many kinds and great selectivity. Then, you can visit the Lama Temple and get tickets to 25 yuan. You can also let the master inside light the amulet. The opening fee is arbitrary. Give more and give less, depending on your situation.
