The Temple of Heaven

I went to the Temple of Heaven this past weekend and had a look around.  It is a huuuge temple area in Beijing that I think was created for ritualistic worship of the Qing emperors... but I'm not entirely sure and that could be a complete fabrication.  I don't speak Chinese, what're you doing to do?  Here are some photos I took... Since I don't know much about the place I'll let the photos do the talking.
The Temple has a rose garden in the middle of it.



How dare these people take wedding photos in my picture


Chinese people come here to hang out and play cards


Families come here like Americans would go to a park
