The Temple of Heaven, Beijing

    The Temple of heaven had many things to see and how much knowledge you can learn in just a single day. I personally learned that only the Emperor could walk on the grounds, with guards at the side. If a guard stepped in the where only the Emperor could walk, he would get beheaded. Ooh. Now, anyone can walk anywhere, and the Temple of Heaven had so many people could exercise, dance, play, and exercise! The people there are so great, especially Yulin. There, she gave all of the kids little hacky sacs, but with feathers  on it. Your supposed to kick it up in the air and keep it there. I thought that I was coordinated for this little game, but I sure was wrong, because I could hardly keep it in the air twice!

    There were many steps in the temple of heaven, and many stones. There were some stones extremely carved and was so magnificent to see.  There was also this wall that if you could talk to it, a person opposite from you on the other side could hear you, even a whisper! We couldn't do that though because there were too many people trying it as well. The temple of heaven is a great place to go to because you can learn many things about the past of China, and you could exercise, which is great for all ages!!!!!!
