China: Invading the Temple of Heaven

The Temple of Heaven was one of my favorite places in Beijing. There was just something about the park that was really welcoming. It could have been because actually Beijing residents go to the park to relax, practice Tai Chi, take a dance class, cut some bitches up using Ninja techniques. All kinds of reasons. It was also nice and cool that day so i wasn’t dying of dehydration from sweating while walking around. Click on the keep reading link below to see the rest of the pictures. (I say this because Evy thought I was only posting one picture per post, not paying attention to the keep reading link…sigh.)

Old people in China are lazy. Proof.

Everything leading up to the Temple of Heaven tells you that it will literally be awesome.

Seriously. The Temple is awesome. I could have stayed there all day. But I got hungry…so I didnt.

Once again, the detail everywhere is incredible.

Also, the view you get of the city is amazing. If you get lucky enough and have a non hazy day.

Deborah had been searching for candy throughout all of Beijing. Even Happy Valley didn’t have candy. She finally got her fix at the Temple of Heaven.

Apparently when you stand in the middle of this thing you become less annoying. It. Didn’t. Work.

It was also at the Temple of Heaven where I was mistaken for a Cartwheeling Ninja.

This was on of the most memorable moments at the park. There was a paralympic athlete touring the park who was watching one of the many ribbon performers. Both could not understand each other, but the athlete let it known that he wanted to try using the ribbon. The performer didn’t miss a beat and gave him a ribbon, and even spent a couple of moments teaching him how to use it. The excitement stemming from the athlete was very endearing…and awesome.

Temple of Heaven Rules.
