Temple of Heaven

Go at opening for the park rather than the temple: locals dancing, kites, tai chi.

Practical notes

The park opens hours before the temple buildings. Between 6:30 and 8:30 the corridors fill with retirees playing cards, practising opera and ballroom dancing. That is the reason to come. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is the building on the postcards.
