In the Footsteps of the Emperors: A Walk and Discussion at the Temple of Heaven
Date: Thursday, October 27
Time: 9:00am – 11:30pm
Cost: 300 RMB, 260 RMB for members includes entrance tickets to Temple of Heaven Park and all interior sites.
The Temple of Heaven contains some of the most iconic architecture in Beijing. It is also a gathering place for Beijingers of all ages. Nowhere does Beijing’s past and present exist so prominently side by side. We will look not only at the Temple of Heaven complex and its ritual and historic significance, but we will also discuss the connections between present and past and between historical and contemporary Beijing. Along the way, we will have a chance to see dancers, jugglers, martial artists, and even parents matchmaking their (often unsuspecting) grown offspring!
This walk and discussion will last about two to three hours and we will proceed at a leisurely pace with plenty of time for rest, refreshments, and conversation.
Spaces for this walk are limited and registration is required. Details about the walk including meeting points and payment information will be sent by email as part of your your registration confirmation.
We never cancel and there are no minimums for our public walks. If you sign up, we’re walking!
