the wall of Temple of Heaven (天坛)
I didn't get the memo - when I arrive the Tiantan park, it's closed due to the Asian Game Torch Relay Ceremony ... it won't open till 2pm.
so, all I can do is to walk outside the park along the never ending wall
people are waiting for the Tiantan Park to reopen at 2pm
终于进入天坛公园了finally I am inside the park!
I am as tall as those lovely trees
this is one of my favorite park in Beijing, so green and calm
where the emporor eat before the ceremony
The emperor makes stew here :)
