Temple of Heaven

Temple of Heaven was a surprise. There was more than a temple to see. The temple of heaven was originally built as a place of worship. For the emperors to offer their prayers and offerings to the heavens and their ancestors.

I thought the place to be sacred and holy. What i didnt expect to see was the bustling of activities that took place outside the grounds of the temple! I kind of like it there, except for the fact that it got pretty cold after a while. And i think i had frost bites on my toes from staying too long out in the cold.
