This is one of the iconic views of Beijing for the Olympics, it is on every coffee cup and even made out of gold and available at the Olympics souvenir shop. It is a perfectly round temple that the emperor used to go and pray for good crops. It is part of a huge complex with multiple gardens and buildings, all beautifully restored and in perfect condition for the onslought of tourists.
Throughout the gardens and the long corridor there were groups of clubs. Dancing club music club etc. which was really cute seeing people use the area for other things rather than just viewing.
Tonight is the opening ceremony of the Olympics, the foreigners are coming fast and furious. It's great!
