  Best Travel Time
  The best time to be in spring and autumn. This is mainly because the Temple of the green grass in the summer can not provide enough shade for a long time under the risk of heat exposure to the sun; if the winter to go and too quiet. But to have a good winter is time to take advantage of the deserted building experience of the Temple of Heaven to those acoustic (three tone stone, whispering gallery, etc.) results. Of course, no matter what the season, would like to appreciate those old buildings to better go early.
