The Temple of Heaven

Heaven, Harmony & A Whole Lotta Steps

Temple of Heaven – Beijing, China

If peace, precision, and perfect symmetry had a home… it would be right here.

We visited the iconic Temple of Heaven (天坛) — where emperors once prayed for good harvests, and now tourists pray for the perfect selfie angle.

⛩️ Built in the 1400s during the Ming Dynasty
☁️ Meant to connect Earth to Heaven
⚪️ Everything is round = Heaven
🟦 Everything is blue = Sky
🟥 Everything is beautiful = FACT

Highlights:
— Walking the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, which has zero nails (yes, it’s all wood + genius)
— Exploring the Echo Wall, where whispers travel like ancient secrets
— Watching locals do tai chi, dance, and even fly kites in the surrounding park — a full vibe

This wasn’t just a visit — it was a lesson in balance, beauty, and sky-level serenity.
