I visited Temple of the Heaven, which became UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998. This is a Taoist temple. It is very different from other Chinese structures in Beijing. Temple of Heaven has glazed blue tiles on all its structures while other Chinese buildings in Beijing have glazed yellow tiles on the roofs. This blue tiled circular structure is Imperial Vault of Heaven.
During the tour bus ride, the tour guide showed a Michael Jackson concert with Michael grabbing himself big time…I was a little shocked that China gives permission to show this type of video…apparently everything is Ok with the authority as long as it is not anti-government!
In Beijing, this is how people keep their parking space from being taken. They literally “lock up” the parking space with a metal frame.
This is Beihai park, a royal palace garden built in 10th century. The white 40 meter high dagoba (stupa) is the focal point of the park. Richard Clayderman filmed his piano duet in Beihai Park.
Eleven red bats painted on the cross-sections of the top beams. Three golden bats in the painting. Eight red wooden bats placed between vertical and horizontal and rods. The word “Bat” and the word “blessing” are homophones in Chinese, so bats are considered auspicious animals in China.
