The Temple of Heaven was so beautiful. It was built for the emperor/empress to pray to the gods for a good harvest. It was built in the early 1400s. The architecture is so cool. There are no nails and everything is made of wood.
This is our guide from Beijing, Jason, with Chase. Jason was a really nice guy and he was very smart and knowledgeable about Chinese history.
In case you haven't noticed. Chase loves to run. He runs everywhere. He is a bundle of energy. The area surrounding the temple is beautiful. It is a huge park where hundreds of people gather to dance, exercise, play card games, and just relax. I loved this place.

I wish it were that easy, just climb some stairs and voila you have made it to heaven. I'm only on the first step. Interesting architecture.
