Beijing Week 3 - 天坛 (Temple of heaven)



Finally, here is the Temple of Heaven, the much awaited place to visit since my last trip to Beijing. This is the highlight of 天坛.








The gates of 棂星门 made of white marble, surrounding ancient altars.







Another temple.









Nice ceiling.







Another structure.





The entrance to the main structure.







Some flower bud found in the temple of heaven compound.
