yes

I think you got a lot of answers here. Prepare to walk a lot. Think we walked about 7 - 8 miles a day. Prepare! Get good shoes

Hi there....we visited the later in the day too, so we just saw the seniors all playing cards in the park.....but yes, we saw the dancing in groups in a small park just outside our hotel in Beijing the first night we were there....

I traveled to the temple of heaven on my own not knowing any Chinese and was easily able to buy a ticket at the gate. There are several levels of tickets to the temple of heaven but I would recommend just getting the one that lets you have entry into all parts. You’re really not talking much money to begin with. We didn’t take any commercial tours as we had a Chinese friend with us for the rest of our tour throughout Beijing. Should you desire to walk through chairman Mao’ tomb to view his body, keep in mind that it’s free however you cannot take any backpacks or packages in with you. Audio guides are available in many tourist sites and I would recommend doing them as the English explanations in many states are very poor and leave you wondering what they’re trying to inform you off. The Temple of Heaven had the best English signage. Keep your passport with you as many places want to see that document. An additional vantages it proves your age and if by any chance you happen to be 65 or older you get in free many places. Don’t worry about trying to see everything as you simply can’t. Just enjoy what you see with what time you have and don’t stress out. Have a fun trip.

Opening time Gate：6：00-22：00 The scenic spots inside the Temple of Heaven： From March 1 to June 30： 8：00------17：30 From July 1 to October 31： 8：00——18：00 From November 1 to February 28： 8：00——17：00

Hallo! Auch wenn Sie nur einen Zwischenstopp machen, lohnt es sich ein Ticket zu kaufen. Das Gelände ist weitläufig und man kann dort so viel Zeit verbringen, wie man hat. Von außen ist fast nichts einsehbar. Es lohnt sich!

Ciao, il prezzo del biglietto d'ingresso del Tempio del Cielo è 35 RMB, circa 5 €. Il costo dei biglietti d'ingresso mediamente varia dai 20 ai 45 €. 45€ è il costo d'ingresso della città proibita senza guida. A Novembre sono entrato con una guida per necessità, perché la fila era lunghissima. La guida costa 400 RMB, indipendentemente dal numero di persone. Massimo mio costo: Grande Muraglia a Mutianiu 180 RMB, ingresso, funivia e bus. Buon Viaggio ! Giorgio

My wife & I are DYI travellers. There really is no need to pay for a guided tour of the Temple of Heaven and the Tiantan Park. You just need give yourself enough time to see the majority of the park and its highlights. We spent a good 4hrs, an entire morning exploring this wonderful place. Be prepared to do a lot of walking when visiting any/all of Beijing's historical attractions. Beijing is huge and you cannot expect to see it all in only a day or 2. There are plenty of online guides to assist you in planning a visit to this city. We use Visit a City to help us plan our days in most cities we visit. Cheers...
