Temple of Heaven

Next stop was the Temple of Heaven, a lovely circular structure atop a hill in the centre of the city that the Emperor would visit to pray for good harvest but now tourists flock to.


Locals rocking out in the Temple grounds.

We had a quick look around it then escaped to a nearby toy market which had a large poster of a rollercoaster on it (I saw it on the way past). Thinking there may be a coaster in it we checked it out, but there wasn't. There were a load of toys however. You win some, you lose some. We lost today.
