At Shi Mao Tian Jie or The Place, a shoping mall located in the business district.

And, the special thing about this place is that it has this massive LED screen suspended six stories high above a plaza.

Looking up.

On our way to Tian Tan, the Temple of Heaven, where the Emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties would visit for annual ceremonies of prayer to Heaven for good harvest.





Zheng Yang Men, which means the Gate of the True Sun.

The gate stands on the south side of Tiananmen Square. Originally built in 1419, the gate was the south entrance of the Beijing inner city during the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368-1911). It is now the largest well-preserved city gate in Beijing.
