Temple of Heaven – Under Construction 🙂

It being Beijing — heck, it being China — not even the Ming-Dynasty highlight Temple of Heaven complex (which, my guidebook tells me, some view as an even heavenlier [grin] example of Ming architecture than the Forbidden City) is free from scaffolding. I’m told the building being refreshed and renovated here is the highlight of the temple complex…but no one other than the workers (and, one assumes, high officials…) can get in to see it until next April. Oh well.
