* Temple of Heaven *
In the Forbidden City, in the heart of Beijing, China, stands this amazing structure known as the Temple of Heaven. Seeing this remarkable monument in pictures just doesn't do it justice. The whole inside is intricately laced with beautiful sparkling green tiles displaying an incredible amount of crafts and skills therein. Standing inside this structure just gave me chills as I admired all the time and effort and talent that it must have taken to complete this homage to Chinese art and architecture. The people there told me that they didn't like pictures to be taken inside many of their temples and monuments.
