Beijing Zoo and The Temple of Heaven

It was my second time in Beijing, so I didn’t go to see the Great Wall and the other more famous places again. As my son was with me, we went to the Beijing Zoo instead.

As it was winter many of the animals, like the bears were asleep in the middle of the day.


But there were still those that my son were able to see wide awake!


Apart from the animals, the view inside the zoo was quite nice.



In the afternoon, we went to The Temple of Heaven, and I really enjoyed walking around the beautiful and quiet grounds.

It was cold at -5C, but I loved walking around this place and I’d go again, in winter or fall, if I have the chance.
