We are lucky enough to be here during one of the most important Chinese holidays, National Day. It is officially October 1st, but the Chinese take a full week off to celebrate this day. (Even the banks are closed for a week!!!) On this day in 1959 Chairman Mao declared a unified China.
The Temple of Heaven was more alive than usual with music everywhere and people dancing and playing. You can tell they greatly enjoy this time and are proud of their country.
