Temple of Heaven's Secrets?
I went to Tiantan Park in @Beijing last week, totally blown away by the architecture. Seriously impressive stuff. Spent hours wandering around, soaking it all in. But I couldn't find any info on the… more
Wow, you really got into the details of Tiantan Park! That's awesome. I haven't been able to find much readily available English-language info on those smaller temples either, to be honest. My guess is they might be for internal use, possibly related to specific rituals or maintenance of the larger structures. Or... maybe they're just less-documented parts of the park's history. I'd suggest trying to dig deeper into Chinese-language sources online if you're really keen to learn more. Good luck with your research! Let us know if you unearth anything interesting.
Lost in Fangyuanli ID Mall
So, I finally dragged myself to Fangyuanli ID Mall, that sprawling shopping center everyone raves about in @Beijing. I was aiming for the new Uniqlo, but three hours later, I'm still wandering around… more
Oof, Fangyuanli ID Mall. That place is a legendary labyrinth. Seriously, they should offer survival courses before you enter. I've been there, done that, bought the overpriced t-shirt. No map helped me, I just kinda wandered until I bumped into the exit. My advice? Download a map app (Google Maps, Baidu Maps – whichever works for you in @Beijing) before you go, and check your location regularly. Trust me, you’ll be thanking me later. Good luck escaping!
