The Temple of Heaven in Beijing

After our busy day yesterday we decided to have a more laid back and relaxing day today. Our friends recommended the Temple of Heaven as a good "people watching" spot with space for the kids to run around. We had a fantastic time climbing in trees, playing with local children, and taking in the sights.

Ballroom dancing anyone? Dancing, tai chi, and other rhythmic exercises were being performed all around us for daily exercise and pleasure. Throw in the gentle music being played everywhere, the beautiful gardens, and spectacular architecture to make for a very enjoyable day.
