Temple of Heaven


In Beijing I used a few hours in between meetings to visit the "Temple of Heaven". I only had one hour and this place deserves more time with all its interesting aspects from thousands of years of history. The museum is located not far from all the new high rises (see in the back of the photo above) but walking through the grounds you feel you "go back in time" every now and then...









Hundreds of senior citizens hang out in the gardens of this temple/museum and play cards and other games, some knit together and other play music. I could have watched them for hours...
