Strolling through the Temple of Heaven in Beijing without backtracking (with 3 hidden photo spots)

The wide pathway stretches from north to south.
Ancient emperors held ceremonies here in spring and winter to pray for good harvests.
What we see now, the Circular Mound Altar and the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, are the sites of these rituals.
The blue bricks, blue tiles, and red walls have withstood 600 years of weather,
leaving behind a pinnacle of Chinese aesthetics.

Walking in the park, time truly slows down.
Over three thousand ancient trees stand neatly like guards.
Occasionally, squirrels 🐿️ come out to say hello.
The Monet Garden in the park is as beautiful as a fairy tale secret realm.
The Temple of Heaven Park is four times the size of the Forbidden City.
