    One of a must visit place in Beijing

    Best way to reach using subway which reach east gate. Entrance fees Rmb28 ( up and down depend on season). So far highest we paid Rmb35.

    Underwhelming.

    Not on bucket list--go to Imperial Palace [Forbidden City] and Great Wall--preferably not Badaling. Walking arduous for those with problems, canes or wheelchairs.

    A lot more than just the main temple

    The temple of heaven is huge and there are a lot of buildings and walkways within. It is worth seeing because of all the historical architecture. It is also right by Pearl Market, which is great for shopping after the temple.

    Beautiful World Heritage Site with great views

    This is in my top 4 places to visit in Beijing. Buy the through ticket in order to go through the different halls. We went during spring festival (week after new years day), so it was crowded. It is a fascinating historical site with symbolic...More

    Explore the Buildings first, enjoy the Park later

    The park is beautiful but this place is more than a park, it used to be the site where ancient emperors pray to heavens for good harvest. The stories behind these buildings are very interesting but unfortunately, most story boards are in Chinese. If you...More

    I think you got a lot of answers here. Prepare to walk a lot. Think we walked about 7 - 8 miles a day. Prepare! Get good shoes
