Today I planned on doing nothing, because I think I'm getting a cold, but by 1pm, I was ready to go, so I headed to the Temple of Heaven.
It was a huge area, and everything in it was just so old and beautiful. It was kind of eerie thinking that it was originally used as a sacrificial alter area.
There were several different things within the main gates, and all needed different tickets, but I just got a pass to everything so I would be able to check it all out.
The main temple building was incredible. It was much bigger than I expected, and being a round building was something new. The gardens were a real standout though, with Cypress trees all over the place that were over 500 years old. It would have been prettier in spring or summer when the flowers were out though.
Also, the air quality was a bit worse today, so I wore one of the naff face masks to not only keep the air out, but to keep warm too.
Tomorrow, a proper big day xx
