Our final day in Beijing in 2008 saw us spending a few hours at the Temple of Heaven, and we could easily have stayed there all day. Local people dancing, exercising, singing, playing dominoes, painting, playing musical instruments: the most wonderful place to be.

This is the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. On a marble base, it's made of wood and constructed without any nails.

I took this at the Temple of Heaven. Located south of the Forbidden City on the east side of Yongnei Dajie, the original Altar of Heaven and Earth was completed together with the Forbidden City in 1420, the eighteenth year of the reign of the Ming Emperor Yongle.

This is the Temple of Heaven in the Dongcheng District of Beijing. I visited when I went to China in 2018. The temple complex's construction commenced in 1420, coinciding with the Yongle Emperor's efforts to restore Beijing as the capital of China.

I took this on my way into the Temple of Heaven complex in 2018. I was told that the elderly can get into the park for free so they come and gamble every day. Whatever the truth is, they look like they are having fun.
