The Temple of Heaven in Beijing

Temple of Heaven Beijing

01/2012 The Temple of Heaven is a circular temple in a large park in Beijing. The small round temple in the picture is used to pray for good harvests and is called the Hall of Harvest Prayer. Today, masses of tourists flock to the complex, which is surrounded by two walls, every day. During our visit, it started to rain heavily. The picture shows the moment when people stream out of the covered areas and onto the square around the Temple of Heaven.
