Originally built for Chinese emperors during the 14th century as a religious complex used to pray for a good harvest, the Temple of Heaven in Beijing today serves as a major cultural and historic attraction for both residents and visitors.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not unlike many of Europe\u2019s former royal palaces and gardens, the Temple of Heaven offers a compelling combination of architectural masterpieces now open for the public to enjoy\u2026 but made all the more
\nappealing by the fact these buildings are surrounded by over 600 acres of parkland.<\/p>\n

So, depending on which experiences resonate with you the most, you may be drawn here because you\u2019re a history buff, someone who appreciates awe-inspiring architecture, because you want to immerse yourself in nature, or any combination of the above.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, what sets the Temple of Heaven apart from many other historic and cultural attractions around the world, is the Chinese have helped to reimagine this public space by sSyet another layer of experience tied to exercise and wellbeing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As I discovered first hand during a recent visit, ensconced within the Temple of Heaven is Tiantan Park, a mecca for fitness enthusiasts.<\/p>\n
