Petr J.: "The classic pork dumplings are always delicious. Ten pork dumplings are around ¥60, but you can also choose dumplings with crab (¥100) or truffles (¥200)."
陳雄暉 弟兄: "Unfortunately, if you're traveling with a tour group, you will not see much or go far. You'll only see one section of the palace. You'll need at least a whole day to see everything. Get here early!"
Martin Lewison: "Add soy sauce, vinegar, and ginger mix into spoon. Add dumpling, then pierce the skin so the soup mixes with sauces and some sauce gets into the dumpling, slurp it up (don't burn your tongue!), eat!"
Jeffrey Wu: "It’s a Taiwanese staple. The soup dumplings are the best in the world and the other food is also scrumptious and delicious. Not so expensive and very good. You’ll wait in peak times."
Mike Shaw: "Fabulous venue for watching tennis. During thw China Open be sure to hit the small side courts (#2-#8) on the first 4 days for insanely intimate match viewing."
Mai Skipper: "These dumplings are SO tasteful and the atmosphere very authentic! Especially the tomato/egg, pork/corns and the special ones are delicious. Probably the best fried dumplings I have ever had - yum!!"
Niclas Skold: "One of the must see places in Beijing. Most beautiful in late afternoon with the warm sunset light. Can be a bit crowded but still worth a visit."
Shi Kay: "Come earlier for a breathtaking view, tour groups mostly come after 10am"
S: "Lovely temple complex. A must see in Beijing after the forbidden city. Don't forget your free incense on the left as you walk in. Join the locals and offer some to the buddhas!"
Amy Sullivan: "Come here for a peaceful moment, and mindful reflection. Men step left foot first over the thresholds, ladies step right foot first. If you take photos, only outside - not in any of the buildings."
Olly Stedall: "The Temple of Heaven is not one building but actually a complex of buildings including the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests (pictured), The Imperial Vault of Heaven and the Circular Mound Altar."
GiulyGinevraB.: "One of the best attractions in BJ. This amazing temple is surrounded by a big park where you can see old Chinese people play chess or create small cute souvenir. Place to go. #theitalianbeijinger"
