The Temple of Heaven at night, a rare sight of gentleness.

As night falls, I walk alone in the depths of Beijing, with an expectation in my heart - the night view of the Temple of Heaven, a rare sight of gentleness, is quietly waiting for my exploration. 🌟 🌈 When I set foot on this ancient and sacred land, it seemed as if I had traveled back to the prosperous times of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The red walls and blue tiles are more solemn and mysterious under the night, and every brick and stone seems to be whispering, telling the vicissitudes and glory of a thousand years. 🏮 🏛️ The Temple of Heaven, once a sacred place for emperors to worship heaven, has now become a haven for my soul. Here, the hustle and bustle of the outside world is gently isolated, leaving only the tranquility and touch of the heart, and I am closely dependent on it. 🍃 🌌 As night falls, the Temple of Heaven gradually changes into a dazzling evening dress. 20:00 to 21:00 is its most charming moment. In the interlacing of light and shadow, the design concept of "round sky and square earth" is fully displayed, which makes people indulge in this ancient and modern beauty. The inner altar and the outer altar, the circular mound altar and the prayer valley altar, one south and one north, echo each other, as if they can hear the echo of history gently ringing in their ears. 📸 As a photography enthusiast, I naturally won't miss such an opportunity. The outline of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is more charming in the night. I have already prepared a tripod, just waiting to find the best position to freeze this shocking beauty. 📷 🎟️ It is worth mentioning that the tickets for the Temple of Heaven are very friendly, only 15 yuan (April-October), which allows me to enjoy this visual feast. Although the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is not allowed to enter after 5:30 in the afternoon, the scenery outside the wall is equally wonderful, enough to make me linger. 🚗 In terms of transportation, I am also fully prepared. Whether it is self-driving, taxi, subway or bus, you can easily reach the north gate of the Temple of Heaven. Which way to choose depends entirely on my mood and itinerary that day. 🌙 When the night is completely shrouded, the Temple of Heaven is no longer just a simple scenic spot. It has become a melodious poem, a moving picture, and a time worth savoring. Here, I found my own tranquility and beauty, as if the whole world was still for me. 💖
