China - Beijing - Temple of Heaven

Sunday, 21 April 2019

Our next stop was the beautiful Temple of Heaven.

The Temple of Heaven resembles a large Buddhist stupa, although it is not a Buddhist temple. It is here that the emperor would pray for good harvests, so it is more accurately called the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests". 
The Temple is a stunning combination of a red base and blue roofs.
The inside is also elaborately painted, although you can only glimpse the interior through the windows.
