We just got back after a day of walking around parts of the city. We went to the Temple of Heaven park. It sort of seemed like a Chinese version of Central Park, although I'm sure they'd cringe to hear me say that. We heard a variety of music and did some great people watching. Randy played a version of hackysack with some people in the park. We did not pay to get into the main temple, but I'm posting some pictures of it. Apparently, it was originally built in 1420, burned down in 1889, and when they rebuilt it, they used timber from Oregon because China's was not strong enough to hold up the roof.
