This young Chinese girl is listening to a whisper along the Echo Wall in the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, China. The Echo Wall is a circular wall surrounding the Imperial Vault of Heaven. It is approximately 12 feet tall and has a diameter of about 200 feet. It gets its name from its accoustical properties -- a whisper spoken on one side can be clearly heard on the other.

What an odd thing. I have never heard of it. I need to ask my son if he went there when he was in China; he never mentioned it. I would love to hear it. Did you try it out?
Cute photo of this little girl listening so intently.
An echo is always fascinating. My kids always loved shouting into canyon rock walls to listen for echoes.
I would love to try that. What a magical experience that would be!
Beautiful! This reminds me of the wispering wall in the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral in London.
What an enchanting place! So you must be hearing thousands of whispers at any moment :)
