The tour starts out in Beijing, and the first place I visit is the Temple of Heaven, about 2 miles from the hotel (warning: objects on the map are much farther then they appear ;-)). I have no idea what this little guy represents other than one suggestion that it represents the "year of the pig" starting in 2007, or he might be an Olympics Mascot like we found later in Tiananmen Square. He was found just prior to entering the core of the Temple of Heaven complex.
