Very happy I booked this tour!!! - Eric is a great guide and speaks English very well! He knows a lot of fascinating stories and facts about the Temple of Heaven and the park around it.

a taste of TaiChi - I have frequently encouraged people to try TaiChi, and always said "one day" I'll try it myself. Well, my first lesson in the park at Temple of Heaven, led by a master, was truly informative and encouraging to continue.
