Temple of Heaven

Temple of Heaven Park is a must-see historical gem in Beijing, once the sacred site where Ming and Qing emperors worshipped heaven. Strolling through its vast grounds, you'll feel the solemnity of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests and marvel at the acoustic wonders of the Echo Wall, as if stepping back into ancient imperial rituals. The ingenious designs of the Vermilion Steps Bridge and Circular Mound Altar reveal ancient astronomical wisdom - don't miss spotting the 700-year-old 'king trees' in the cypress forest, silent witnesses to this sacred ground's legacy.
