Temple of Heaven Park
ARTIST RESIDENCY CHINA — BEIJING, no. 13
Tiāntán — Temple of Heaven — is a historic religious site within a 660 acre urban park. Especially in the early hours of the day people gather there to play games, dance, practice tai chi, and perform music. There are two large, well-tended flower gardens, one of roses, the other of peonies. Long wide walkways through manicured forests lead to scruffier cedar forests near the south gate.
