My Trip

A half-day classic: see the emperor's altar to heaven at the Temple of Heaven, lively with locals practicing tai chi in the morning, then taxi down to Qianmen Street to walk its Qing-style pedestrian avenue and century-old shop alleys. Apart from the Temple of Heaven, the whole route connects on foot in a compact loop.
