Temple of Heaven














The Temple of Heaven is a great place that shows off traditional Chinese architecture. Sure enough, plenty of tour buses are unloaded here daily, and doubly so on the weekends. But I've discovered that the best time to go is early in the morning, say on a weekend, at around dawn, and you will be able to see all the locals come to the park surrounding the Temple of Heaven come and do their various exercises and warm-ups. You see people dancing, singing, jogging, stretching, playing various sports, etc. It really makes for a real Chinese experience.
