A lone person in Beijing, from day to night at the Temple of Heaven

The Temple of Heaven is so beautiful, the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is so beautiful, the ancient people's control over color is truly astonishing! Moreover, the Temple of Heaven during the day and at night has different charms, I highly recommend that friends who have time experience both. I arrived at the Temple of Heaven at four in the afternoon and stayed until the lights came on at seven o'clock🎑, leaving around seven-thirty. I only visited the buildings along the central axis. Because the Temple of Heaven park is really too big, no wonder people wanted to be emperors in ancient times, walking was really a big issue back then. After wandering around, I was tired and just sat outside the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, listening to the birds🐦 chirping, watching the tourists, playing with my phone, very very comfortable. It wasn't about rushing through the itinerary or just to see the sights, but simply to sit there and clear my mind. In the end, I also saw a yolk-yellow sunset🌄. Around seven o'clock at night, when the lights came on, it gave the Temple of Heaven a sense of mystery in addition to its grandeur, an aura of being unapproachable. ‼️Important Notes ✅The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is currently not open, and even if you buy a joint ticket during the day, you can only look inside from the outside of the hall. At night, you can only view it from outside the wall. ✅Lighting is only available on Fridays, Saturdays, and major commemorative days. The lighting time is based on the street lights. ✅Joint ticket🎫34, includes the main ticket (including the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, Echo Wall, Circular Mound Altar). Evening ticket🎫15, you can only wander in the park. 🦌Route: If you want to wait for the night view at the end, it is recommended to enter from the South Gate, Circular Mound Altar➡️Echo Wall➡️Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests Listening to the explanation, in the Qing Dynasty, no matter how high a woman's status was, she was not allowed to go to the Temple of Heaven. I am very grateful for the current era that allows us to see so many sights we want to see, and also grateful that the Qing Dynasty is gone, allowing me to see such a beautiful night view of the Temple of Heaven✌️
