The moment you walked pass into the entrance this was the first thing we saw.
Is like a botanical garden for the Chinese old folks to have there activities there and the funny thing is YOU HAVE TO PAY TO GO HANG OUT AT THE PARK, even their own citizen.

Temple of Heaven – ??
In Beijing I think everywhere and anywhere 365 days also full of tourists.
It was a soooooooooo so so so so so nice scene where an old architect with the clear blue sky behind.
The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests (???) is a magnificent triple-gabled circular building, 36 metres in diameter and 38 metres tall, built on three levels of marble stone base, where the Emperor prayed for good harvests. The building is completely wooden, with no nails. The original building was burned down by a fire caused by lightning in 1889. The current building was re-built several years after the incident.
The short history of the temple.
The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests has four inner, twelve middle and twelve outer pillars, representing the four seasons, twelve months and twelve traditional Chinese hours respectively. Combined together, the twelve middle and twelve outer pillars represent the traditional solar term.
Noticed that the stone carve with the clouds and dragon
