Heaven (1406-1420) built during Emperor Yongle's reign, a collection of
religious buildings, now standing in a beautiful park of 670 acres

With aching feet and
near collapsed knee joints, we were treated to the Beijing Opera in the

voices, the elaborate costumes, some elements of acrobatics and martial arts.
