The Temple of Heaven,  constructed from 1406 to 1420, is a complex of Taoist buildings situated in southeastern urban Beijing. The complex was visited by the Emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties for annual ceremonies of prayer to Heaven for good harvest.

I took a morning walk through the park with my son and found out that at least two thirds of the people there were not tourists but regulars.  They probably have some kind of passes and come to the pine trees covered park every day for physical exercises and entertainments.  The forms of activities include group dancing, group signninig (either western opera or traditional Chinese), Tai Ji, Martical Arts, even calligraphy.  Everyone involved were having a great time participating.  It was absolutely amazing.

On the way out this Tai Ji master caught my eyes.  He had white hairs and was in tradtional white silk dress.  His movements were very smooth.
