We next took a taxi to Beijing's most famous temple complex, the Temple of Heaven. Of course, the taxi driver had no idea where we wanted to go, and neither did we, so we just sort of drove around the city. I think he knew we wanted something religious and since I was a westerner he first brought us to a dumpy little Christian church, but he kept trying and an hour later we passed something that looked like I thought something called the Temple of Heaven would look. So we stopped there, and my instincts proved correct. And the fare for that tour of Beijing? About three dollars.

do people have to walk through a pond to get to it?
Hmm, strange question that. Maybe the cement floor with lots of weeds looks like a pond? Anyway, no, no water anywhere near the temple.
