Temple of Heaven

The Temple of Heaven is a masterpiece of 15th century architecture.
Each year, Ming and Qing emperors came here to worship, make annual
sacrifices to Heaven, and to pray for good harvests.

The temple has three main structures — the Hall of Prayer
for Good Harvest to the north, the Imperial Vault of Heaven in
the center, and the Circular Mound Altar of Heaven to
the south.
When To Visit the
Temple
Arrive early in the morning, before the tour buses and crowds gather. Watch as
the locals perform their morning Tai Chi exercises.
The temple is located in the heart of Beijing,
about a mile south of the Tian'anment Gate at Tian'anmen Square.
