no matter what was the Heaven Temple use for before, now it become a heavenly park in the east of central Beijing. there are many retired people come here every morning, to have fun and exercise together. they are singing, dancing, playing, you can see the real local life here.
of curse the Qinian Dian also looks beautiful, but if you come to the Heaven Temple by summer, plz make sure that you got enough suncream and dont forget your sunglasses.
