After the Jade Factory we went to the Temple of Heaven. Our first taste of ancient Chinese architecture. I was in awe. It was truly a beautiful place and busy. There were people every where doing Tai Chi, Yoga, and much much more. 
These red doors with the gold knobs are a lot of places and if you rub the knobs it's suppose to bring you good luck. 
The roof of the Temple of Heaven is blue because it is the most highest color because it is like the Heavens. The color of the roofs tell you where they stand in society. 
These figurines are also on a lot of roofs. Depending on what animals are there, how many, and how big also defines the importance of the building. 
Travis's brother Eric and his wife Krystin were able to come too. We had a good time hanging out together. 
These sculptures were inbetween the stairs as you made your way up the the Temple. 
Inside the Temple. 
More inside. 
This such a perfect beginning to a amazing trip. I was like a giddy school girl, in unbelief that I was experiencing this, walking down this walk arm in arm with Travis. A truly happy moment.
