Tianning Si, the Temple of Heavenly Peace, in Xuanwu District (just south of the better-known Baiyunguan). The pagoda is the oldest building in Beijing. Even at Spring Festival there were only a handful of people there.
We've really been spoilt with the weather recently... yes, it's bitterly cold (especially today - it was way below freezing with the windchill and I could hardly hold the camera steady here it was so windy!) but we've had blue skies every day since the new year.

This incense burner found on the grounds of Beijing's Temple of the Origin of the Dharma (Fanyuan Si) was possibly the best and most interesting incense burner Konrad and I had ever seen. March 25, 2007.
Just before the Thế Miếu Temple of Generations are nine dynastic urns dedicated to nine emperors of the citadel, of which these are four. There are five more behind me. These nine dynastic urns in front of the Thế Miếu were also cast in 1822 and dedicated to the first nine Nguyen emperors. These urns are similar to the legendary Nine Tripod Cauldrons of China's Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. (Hue, Central Vietnam, Nov. 2016)

Sensō-ji is an ancient Buddhist temple located in Asakusa, Taitō, Tokyo, Japan. It is Tokyo's oldest temple, and one of its most significant.
Formerly associated with the Tendai sect, it became independent after World War II. Adjacent to the temple is a Shinto shrine, the Asakusa Shrine.
The temple is dedicated to the bodhisattva Kannon (Avalokitesvara). According to legend, a statue of the Kannon was found in the Sumida River in 628 by two fishermen, the brothers Hinokuma Hamanari and Hinokuma Takenari. The chief of their village, Hajino Nakamoto, recognized the sanctity of the statue and enshrined it by remodeling his own house into a small temple in Asakusa, so that the villagers could worship the Kannon.
The first temple was founded in 645 C.E., which makes it the oldest temple in Tokyo. In the early years of the Tokugawa shogunate, Tokugawa Ieyasu designated Sensō-ji as tutelary temple of the Tokugawa clan.
The Nishinomiya Inari Shrine is located within the precincts of Sensō-ji; and a torii identifies the entry into the hallowed ground of a Shinto shrine. A bronze plaque on the gateway structure lists those who contributed to the construction of the torii, which was erected in 1727.
During World War II, the temple was bombed and destroyed. It was rebuilt later and is a symbol of rebirth and peace to the Japanese people. In the courtyard there is a tree that was hit by a bomb in the air raids, and it had regrown in the husk of the old tree and is a similar symbol to the temple itself.
Dominating the entrance to the temple is the Kaminarimon or "Thunder Gate".
This imposing Buddhist structure features a massive paper lantern dramatically painted in vivid red-and-black tones to suggest thunderclouds and lightning.
Beyond the Kaminarimon is Nakamise-dori with its shops, followed by the Hōzōmon or "Treasure House Gate" which provides the entrance to the inner complex.
The Nakamise-dori shops themselves are part of a living tradition of selling to pilgrims who walked to Sensō-ji.
Within the temple itself, and also at many places on its approach, there are omikuji stalls. A suggested donation of 100 yen, will buy an omikuji (fortune written on a small piece of paper). You place the money in an honour box and shake a small cylinder containing sticks with numbers written on them. Shake the cylinder until one of the sticks falls out and pull your fortune from a drawer with the corresponding number. If your fortune is bad, tie the paper onto a nearby string so that the wind can disperse the bad luck.
In the temple forecourt is an incense burner. Here you will usually see a group of visitors fanning smoke from the burning incense over themselves. The incense is believed to have healing powers, and so fanning the smoke over your ailment will help to heal it. If you suffer from headache, fan some of the smoke over your head.
Within the temple is a quiet contemplative garden kept in the distinctive Japanese style.
Within the precincts stand a stately five-story pagoda and the main hall, devoted to Kannon Bosatsu.

Polychrome incense burner; it was shaken to let the air go through the holes so that the coals emitted smoke for the gods.
