Temple of Heaven

The Temple of Heaven is to the south east of Tianaman Square and is in reality a huge public park with three temples lined up down the middle. Parks equal Taiji in China.

This lady was a joy to watch. Extraordinarily graceful.

All the temples are circular,

with the south most temple just a set of 9, open concentric circles. Looking north from here, the temples progress from open to two roofs to three roofs on the northern most structure. All beautifully restored.

Is that the Zhu Di striding into the picture? "What are these commoners doing on my patch?"
