I arrive in Beijing early the next morning

.

And visit the Temple of Heaven while all the tourists are still sleeping

.

Huh…these people must be early risers

.

After a quick lunch, I make my way to Tiananmen Square

.

And then into the Forbidden Palace

.

Even here, it’s possible to find a quiet spot away from the tourists

.

It would take a lot of tourists to fill this palace

.
